How to Prepare Mini Three-Tier Cherry Chocolate Cake [Vegan]

  1. In a bowl, beat the aquafaba and caster sugar together until they're frothy.
  2. Stir in the soy milk and oil.
  3.  In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients for the cake, then add them to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir them to combine.
  4. Place three 4 1/4-inch cookie cutters on a lined baking tray.
  5. Spoon in the cake mixture until it reaches halfway up each cookie cutter.
  6. Bake at 345°F for around 20 minutes or until a toothpick placed into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Leave them to cool.
  7. While the cake layers are cooking, make the cherry chia jam. Place the cherries, sugar, and water into a small saucepan.
  8. Bring them to a boil and then simmer them for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture has started to thicken.
  9. Take off the heat, mix in the chia seeds and leave to cool.
  10. Once the layers are cool, you can assemble the cake. Put one cake on the bottom and cover it with a layer of the jam. Layer and stack the other two on top of the first one. If you wish, you can sprinkle some icing sugar over the top layer.
  11. To make the icing, beat together all ingredients briefly until they are combined. Pipe the icing over the top layer.
