Title: Chocolate Cake With Strawberry Jam Frosting
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 1 Cake

3 1/2 c Self rising flour; sifted
1/4 c Cocoa powder
1 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
3 1/2 c Powdered sugar
2 c Plant milk
2 ts White wine vinegar
1 1/3 c Vegan butter;
- partially melted
2 tb Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Vegan butter
1 c Vegan cream cheese
1/2 c Strawberry preserves
4 c Powdered sugar
1/8 ts Vegan pink food coloring

Preheat oven to 350?F. Grease and line three 7" round cake pans with
parchment.

Mix vinegar with plant milk and set aside until it curdles

In a large bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. In stand mixer,
add plant milk + vinegar mixture, together with vanilla extract and
butter and mix on low until well combined.

Slowly add dry ingredients and continue mixing on medium low speed
until no dry ingredients remain.

Measure cake batter out evenly into three cake pans (I used a scale)
and tap them gently to pop air bubbles before placing them on the
center rack of your oven.

Bake for ~28 minutes until the sides are pulling away from the edge
of the cake pans and the centers spring back to the touch.

Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool completely before frosting.

For frosting, make sure all of your ingredients are at room
temperature. Add sugar to stand mixer with paddle attachment.

Drop in butter, cream cheese, and jam and begin mixing on medium high
until thick and creamy.

Add teensy drops of food coloring (I use a toothpick) until you
achieve desired color.

Hi Ben,

Title: Chocolate Cake With Strawberry Jam Frosting
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 1 Cake

Usually I pass over group messages like this but the title caught my
eye. I like both chocolate and strawberries.

3 1/2 c Self rising flour; sifted
1/4 c Cocoa powder
1 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Baking soda

Reading the ingredients listing, this made me curious. Why does it call
for self rising flour (which has baking powder in it, as well as salt),
baking powder and baking soda? It sounds like too much leavening. I know
you just posted this as is from a cook book, but are other recipies,
especially those from baked goods in this cook book heavy on the
leavening? Just curious,

Hi Ruth!

What did you mean by group messages? Messages that are addressed to
everyone rather than to a specific person?

I got this recipe from a cooking blog. So far this is the only recipe from that blog that calls for self-rising flour. I asked that blogger and will follow up when and if they answer.

Yes, to All, or the group here.

OK. It'll be interesting to see what the reply is. Could be, the blogger doesn't even know, just copied the recipe from somewhere.
