Updated: Mar 23, 2023

The most fluffy and flavorful Vanilla and Raspberry Cake, topped with raspberry-infused icing. The perfect cake to make for someone you love.

Prep-time: 10 minutes

Baking time: 25-35 minutes

Servings: 1 cake

INGREDIENTS

200 ml vegetable oil
250 ml oat milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
4 flax eggs (or 2 tbsp Orgran, according to instructions. If you use orgran add an extra 50ml oat milk to the batter)
300 g plain flour
150 g white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
200 g raspberries
5 tbsp of oil (for the cake tin)

Raspberry Compote

1 cup raspberries
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla

Icing

1 cup icing sugar
2-3 tbsp concentrated raspberry juice (see instructions)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C degrees.

2. Start by making the raspberry juice for the icing. Add 1 cup of raspberries to a small pot. Add the sugar, lemon juice and vanilla. Cook it on low/medium heat for about 5 min. While it's cooking, use a wooden spoon to mush up the raspberries. Set aside to cool.

3. Now it's time to make the cake. Add all the wet ingredients to a large bowl (oil, milk, vanilla, mix well.

4. Then add the rest of the ingredients, mix until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

5. Add the batter to a greased bundt cake tin (I used this) and tap it a few times to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake for 25-35 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.

6. While the cake is cooling you can use this time to make the raspberry icing. Put a sieve above a bowl, then add your raspberry compote and use a spatula to drain it. You want all the juices but not the seeds. Keep doing it until it's completely dried up.

7. Add 1 cup icing sugar to a bowl, followed by 2-3 tbsp of the raspberry juices, mix well and drizzle it on the cake. Enjoy with a nice cup of earl grey tea.

Equipment List

If you're interested in the equipment I used in this recipe, I've listed it down below. I am a firm believer in quality over quantity which is why I use equipment from Baker's Secret. The cake tin is probably my favorite cake tin ever! It's SO good. No more cake sticking to the cake tins haha, yes I'm talking to you cheap baking equipment from IKEA.
