👩‍🍳 Step by step preparation

1. Prepare the liquid mixture

In a jug, mix soy milk, vinegar, coffee, chia and oil. Let stand 5 minutes for the seeds to act as binder and the milk is cut slightly.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

School the flour, yeast and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Pour the liquid mixture and beat with rods until you get a homogeneous dough without lumps.

3. Bake in the air fryer

Divide the mixture between the two prepared molds. Alisa the surface with a spatula.
Preheat the air fryer to 160 ºC and bake One cake at the same time For 20–25 minutes, until pressing the surface with one finger is firm.
Let cool 10 minutes in the mold and then unmold on a rack.

👉 Tip: If your fryer is small, you can reduce the recipe by half and bake only one cake, then split it in half and fill.

4. Prepare vegan butter cream

In a large bowl, beat the icing sugar with vegan butter and vanilla until you get a light and soft cream. Add the pistachios and dry cherries, mixing with a spatula to distribute well.

5. Cake assembly

Place a cake on a serving dish. Extend the butter cream evenly to the edges. Cover with the second sponge cake and press gently.

6. Final decoration

Prepare a glaze mixing the 50 g of extra icing sugar with a few drops of water until you get a thick texture. Pour over the cake letting it fall irregularly through the edges. It ends with chopped pistachios and some dry cherries.

🌟 Tips and variations

Replace soy milk with oat milk For a softer taste.
Add a pinch of Cardamom powder to the dough for a spicy touch that combines incredible with coffee.
Decorate with Chocolate bathed coffee beans For a more sweet and photogenic finish.
If you are not vegan, you can make the traditional butter cream, but this light version with pistachios and cherries is worth it.
