for the icing

For the Mixed berry Compote:

  • Cups Mixed Berries
  • ¼ cup cranberries
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar

Instructions
 

First prepare the white cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F & grease & parchment line 3-7" cake pans
  • Combine the vegan butter with the coconut oil & granulated sugar & mix on high speed with the paddle attachment for 3-5 minutes until light & fluffy, be sure to scrape the bottom & sides of the bowl from time to time.
  • Combine the plant milk with the vinegar & extracts & set it aside.
  • Combine the aquafaba with the cornstarch & whisk together so there are no lumps
  • Once the butter mixture is creamed add the aquafaba/cornstarch & whip on high speed for 10 seconds to emulsify & the mixture. It will get very silky & smooth *if this seems to not be working, switch to the balloon whip attachment & whip on high
  • Sift the flour with the salt & baking powder then add 1/3 of this to the creamed mixture, blend just until combined then add half of the milk
  • Blend just until combined then add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients & then the remaining milk & last the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Be sure to scrape the sides & bottom of the bowl & whip it on high for 5 seconds to blend well.
  • Divide the batter evenly between your pans & bake immediately in the preheated oven that has been set to 350°F
    Once the pans are loaded lower the temperature to 325° & bake for a total of 25-30 minutes or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pans then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely
  • Prepare the mixed berry compote by combining the berries with the sugar in a medium sauce pot & bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for about 10-15minutes
  • The berries will break down & start to thicken, remove from heat & refrigerate until cold
  • Whip your choice of vegan whipped cream with the sifted confectioners sugar to soft peaks
  • Build the cake with the whipped cream & berry filling & whipped cream icing as shown in the video tutorial
