Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 ½ cups all
• purpose flour
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups dairy
• free chocolate, melted and cooled
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• ¾ cup soy milk
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Zest of 1 orange
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the sponge cake layers by combining almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl, letting it sit for 5 minutes to curdle. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Add curdled almond milk mixture, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined and smooth.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8 inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
3. To prepare the chocolate ganache, pour melted dairy free chocolate over powdered sugar in a large bowl. Gradually add soy milk while whisking to achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
4. To make raspberry coulis, combine fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
5. Assemble the Lamington Tower by placing one sponge layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with half of the chocolate ganache, followed by half of the raspberry coulis. Top with second sponge layer, then repeat with remaining ganache and coulis.
