Ingredients 

For the sponge

• 270g Self Raising Flour
• 180g Vegan Non-Dairy Margarine
• 180g Sugar and Crumbs Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar of your choice
• 135ml Almond Milk
• 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds

• 3/4 Tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

For the Filling and Topping

• 500g Sugar and Crumbs  Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar of your choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160c Gas mark 3, 350F, lightly grease and line 2 x 8-inch sandwich tins.

1. Cream the Non Dairy margarine and Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar together until light and fluffy.
   
2. Put the Chia Seeds, Self Raising Flour and the Bicarbonate of Soda together in a bowl and stir in to combine all the ingredients.
   
3. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed margarine mix and stir in.
   
4. Pour the Milk and White Wine vinegar into the cake mix and mix thoroughly at a medium to high speed for no more than 20 seconds.
   
5. Divide the mixture between the 2 sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cakes.
   
6. Remove from the oven and cool in the tins for 10 minutes before tuning out onto a wire tray to cool completely.
   
7. To make the buttercream/frosting. Beat the non-dairy butter in the mixer until it is light and fluffy. Add the Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar or any flavour of your choice to the beaten butter and chop in using a spatula to avoid an icing dust cloud in your kitchen.
   
8. Turn on the mixer to a low speed until the butter and icing sugar have come together then turn the mixer to medium-high speed for no more than 20 seconds. If the frosting appears too thick to spread evenly you can add a tsp of hot water to loosen it slightly.
   
9. You can spread the frosting or use a piping bag with a 1M Wilton tip onto the bottom layer and top with the remaining sponge.
   
10. Pipe or Spread the remaining buttercream on the top layer of sponge.
