Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and coconut sugar.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  5. 5

    Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. 6

    While the cake is baking, prepare the vegan custard. In a saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

  7. 7

    Heat over medium heat, continuously whisking until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool.

  8. 8

    Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into cubes.

  9. 9

    To assemble the trifle, in a large glass bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the cake cubes, followed by a layer of custard, and then a layer of fresh mixed berries.

  10. 10

    Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of custard and a sprinkle of berries on top.

  11. 11

    Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
