Vanilla Strawberry Coconut Cream Cake

Before summer comes to an end, I wanted to share this delicious Vanilla Strawberry Coconut Cream Cake recipe with you.

A perfect light and airy vegan sponge cake, filled with whipped coconut cream and fresh strawberries.

Simply mix the wet and dry ingredients together and bake for 30 minutes. Adding some turmeric powder will give the cake a nice yellow colour. The vanilla soy yoghurt gives the cake a more intense vanilla flavour and also acts as an egg replacer.
