    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!

    Title: Chocolate Cake With Strawberry Jam Frosting

    Usually I pass over group messages like this but the title caught my
    eye.

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

    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,

    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.

    Spread a light layer of pizza sauce on each round, and divide
    mozzarella between pies.

    Evenly divide chorizo, cherries, and goat cheese between pies.

    Bake until cheese has melted and crust is golden, about 8 to

    Slice the pizzas and serve...
