How do I ensure the coconut cream whips up properly?

For best results, ensure your full-fat coconut cream is thoroughly chilled in the fridge, and only scoop out the firm, solid part for whipping.

Can I use a different fruit for the jelly?

While this recipe uses natural grape juice for the jelly, you could experiment with other fruit juices, keeping in mind the flavor profile will change.

What kind of oil should I use for the cake?

The recipe specifies a neutral-tasting oil, such as canola, sunflower, or grapeseed oil, to avoid imparting unwanted flavors to the cake.

How do I prevent the jelly from melting the whipped cream?

After cooking, let the jelly mixture cool down until it's warm to the touch but not hot, whisking constantly to prevent it from firming up too soon, before pouring it over the chilled cream.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes, the recipe suggests using gluten-free all-purpose flour as an alternative to regular all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.

How to Prepare Strawberry Jelly Cream Cake [Vegan]

Combine the dry cake ingredients in a large bowl and the wet ingredients in another small bowl. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and combine with a spatula (be careful not to over mix). Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a square baking dish with parchment paper (make sure that the parchment hangs over on the sides so you can use it as handles). Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly. Place into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then remove from the oven and let cool down.
In the meantime, prepare the whipped cream. Take your chilled coconut cream out of the fridge and scoop the firm part into a medium-sized bowl. Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract and use a hand mixer to whisk everything together until fluffy, then place back into the fridge to firm up.
Once the cake has cooled down completely, spread the whipped cream in an even layer on top and place into the fridge. Wash, de-stem and halve your strawberries and arrange them on top of the cream, pressing down slightly. Place back into the fridge.
For the jelly, place all ingredients into a small saucepan or pot and whisk together. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 seconds, then take off the heat. Let the jelly mixture cool down a bit, whisking constantly so it doesn’t firm up. You want it to be warm to the touch but not hot, so it won’t immediately melt the whipped cream. Pour it over the strawberries in an even layer and immediately place back in the fridge for 45 minutes - 2 hours to firm up, then serve!
