Ingredients
Cake batter:
Dry mix -
1
cup
all-purpose flour
3
tablespoons
demerara sugar
¼
teaspoon
baking soda
½
teaspoon
baking powder
Pinch
salt
Wet mix -
½
cup
soy milk
[100 ml]
1½
tablespoon
vinegar
I used malt vinegar
¼
cup
vegetable oil
[50 ml]
½
teaspoon
vanilla essence
1
tablespoon
black currant jam
well whisked to liquefy
Jam glazing:
2
tablespoons
black currant jam
or any of your choice
2
tablespoons
water
¼
teaspoon
tapioca starch
or potato flour or cornstarch
Instructions
Start heating water in a deep pan with the rack in place.
To make the cake:
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Add the vinegar to the soy milk and let it thicken. Then add in the vegetable oil and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients onto the dry and mix well. Do not beat.
Mix gently but thoroughly until no dry ingredients are left at the bottom.
Add the jam.
Grease the mugs with a bit of vegetable oil or vegan margarine.
Fill each mug halfway.
Place both mugs in the pan of boiling water (be careful with the steam).
Cover and steam for 35 minutes.
When uncovering the pan, lift the cover so the steam is directed away from you and avoid droplets of water from falling back onto the cakes.
Test with a skewer until it comes out dry. Remove from the stove and carefully remove the mugs and let cool before turning them out.
Arrange on serving plates.
For the glazing:
Place the jam and 1 tablespoon water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and mix well until a smooth liquid is obtained but do not boil.
Mix the tapioca starch with 1 tablespoon water and add this in the saucepan.
Continue to stir until the liquid thickens.
Remove from heat and pour immediately over cakes.
Enjoy warm or cold!
