Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C (356°F). Lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan with vegan butter or oil.
- Combine strawberries, lemon zest, cornstarch, lemon zest and sugar. Set aside.
- To make the soft crumble – combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar , ground cinnamon, salt and melted salted vegan butter together. Set aside.
- Combine oat milk with apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes to create vegan buttermilk.
- Beat softened vegan butter and vanilla extract with sugar. Then, mix vegan buttermilk – it may look clumpy but that's ok!

If you don’t have salted vegan butter, you can use un-salted vegan butter or coconut oil but you may want to add 1/4 tsp or so, or salt!

My sister and I had a lovely time baking this cake together over zoom and it turned out absolutely delicious! The one thing I would say is that the ingredients list and the recipe sometimes say slightly different things, like the ingredients list mentions self raising flour but the recipe uses all purpose flour. But that’s not worth taking a star off for because it’s a great recipe and great tasting cake!
I loved seeing you and your sisters end result over on Instagram, I’m so happy you both enjoyed this recipe!! Thank you Emma for letting me know – just updated the recipe card. Parita xx
