  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C (350F). Grease your baking pan with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about five minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. In another large bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  4. To the bowl with the dairy-free milk mixture, add sunflower oil and pumpkin puree. Whisk together until smooth.
  5. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while mixing gently with a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stop when you see no more dry flour.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
