Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups dairy-free milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt
• 1/2 cup light olive oil

For the frosting:

• 1 cup dairy-free butter softened
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons passion fruit purée
• 3 tablespoons mango purée
• 1 teaspoon orange food coloring optional

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 340°F.
• Line three 6-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
• Mix the milk and vinegar together and set aside to thicken.
• Stir in the remaining wet ingredients.
• Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cakes cool completely before leveling the tops.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the butter on medium-high speed until it’s creamy and light in color.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed and scraping down the sides after each addition.
• Add the purées and food coloring, and beat until everything is well combined.
• Once the cakes are cool, layer them with the frosting.
