____________________________________________________________

Method (cookie dough)

1. You must heat treat the flour before use.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.

2. Spread flour evenly on a baking tray and bake for around 5-10 minutes or until the flour reaches 160f.

Allow the flour to cool fully before using it.

3. Melt the dairy-free butter and place into a large mixing bowl along with the sugars and cream together.

4 Add in the dairy-free cream and vanilla and cream together.

5. Gently fold in the flour until combined.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips.

7. Use an icecream scoop to portion the cookie dough, or store in a bowl.

Serve room temperature or chilled.

Method (Cakes)

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c and line three 6 inch cake tins with grease-proof paper.

2. In a bowl, combine the dairy-free milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined.

Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan ‘buttermilk’.



3. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well to combine.

4. Add the melted coconut oil into the ‘buttermilk’ and whisk to combine. 

5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.



6. Pour equal amounts of batter into the lined cake tins.

Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.

7. Pop the cakes into the center of the preheated oven and bake for around 28-30 minutes. You will know they are baked when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch.

8. Place the cakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully.

Once cool, pop them into a sealed container to keep them fresh before frosting.

To make the buttercream

1. In a bowl/stand mixer, cream the butter on high then add in the icing sugar.

2. Crumble some cookie dough into the buttercream and fold through.

3. Stack and fill the cake with buttercream, then crumb coat the whole cake with the buttercream and pop into the fridge to set. 

This will take around 1 hour.

To decorate, I added some cookie dough around the bottom of the cake, and topped the cake with cookie dough scoops and extra chocolate chips.

Serve fresh or store in a sealed container in the fridge, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.
