If you are not familiar with vegan baking yet, start with easy recipes like this one that doesn’t require any special ingredients and deep knowledge on how they work together. My favourite kitchen tool – fork – works miracles helping you to bake this cake so no special kitchen tools are needed either (except for the coconut whipped cream you will need an electric mixer).

This vegan layer cake can be baked without any added sugar by replacing 100 ml of the apple sauce with one banana to give it some extra sweetness.
The filling is made with coconut whipped cream and raspberries and vanilla. Coconut is quite sweet so no need to add any sweetener to the filling. Coconut makes the cake really rich too.

I always bake the cake in three 8 inch tins but you can totally use just one tin and cut the cooled cake in three. Please note that if you using only one tin you need to adjust the cooking time, it will take longer to bake.

No matter how many tins or layers you will make, bake the cake the day before serving. Let the cake cool completely and then wrap it in cling film or pack in plastic freezer bag and store in fridge over night. If you are making one cake that you will cut in three, cut the cake only right before filling it the next day.

Also, put the coconut milk cans in fridge the night before. The coconut cream has to be chilled and firm that in can be whipped in a fluffy coconut whipped cream.
