This dairy-free cake recipe is the perfect marriage of cake and pastry and quite frankly, we're surprised it isn't already 'a thing'. We got our uncooked dairy-free Pain au Chocolat pastries from The Fields Beneath in Camden but you could quite easily recreate this at home with some store-bought cook-at-home pastries! Incredibly tasty-yet simple vegan cake of joy!

Serves: 6

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 5 plant-based Pain au Chocolat pastries uncooked

For the cake mix

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 175ml water
  • 50g cocoa powder

To serve

Step 2

Prepare the cake

  • Grease a loaf tin, stand the uncooked, dairy-free pain au chocolat pastries upright down the middle of the tin and pour the cake batter down the sides
  • At this point, to make sure the pastries stay upright, push a wooden skewer through the top of the pastries to make sure they don't fall over when baking (the pastries should look like they're being spit roasted from the top)
