35 g (2½ tbsp) sunflower oil
30 g (2 tbsp) unsalted vegan butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
160 g (1⅓ cups) plain gluten free flour blend
1¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp xanthan gum (omit if flour blend contains it)

15 g (4 tbsp) instant coffee granules

115 g (½ cup) vegan cream cheese, cold

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a cake tin with parchment.
- Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add milk, oil, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix gently.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Fold into wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour into prepared tin and bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For coffee soak: dissolve instant coffee and sugar in boiling water. Let cool slightly.
- For frosting: whip vegan cream until soft peaks form. Beat in powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Poke cooled sponge with a fork. Drizzle coffee soak evenly over top.
- Spread frosting over cake. Dust with cocoa powder and serve.
Notes
Add coffee liqueur or rum to soak for an adult version.
Swap vanilla frosting for chocolate frosting for a twist.
Layer in a trifle dish for a parfait-style tiramisu.
Best served chilled. Store in the fridge up to 4 days.
Do not freeze once frosted; freeze sponge alone if needed.
