  • ½ cup dried mixed fruits finely chopped mixed into strawberry icecream
  • ½ cup cashewnuts chopped into small pieces
Instructions
Eggless Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. I used a 13-9 inch pan. Butter and use a parchment paper. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
  4. Melt the butter, do not brown it. Add the sugar and vanilla and mix well till the sugar dissolves.
  5. In a small bowl, take the buttermilk, vinegar, baking soda and mix and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the water, buttermilk mixture and butter sugar to the flour. Use a rubber spatula or whip to mix it quickly. DO NOT over beat it. This process should be quick.
  7. Pour the batter in the prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until it springs back.
  8. Cut the cake to any shape you want.
ASSEMBLY
  1. You could make a large dessert using a cake pan or make it personal with wine glasses. Your freeze proof wine glasses.
  2. Let the ice cream sit on the counter top to melt a bit.
  3. Fill the glass to about ½ inch using a spoon and freeze it for at least an hour before you pour the next layer of ice cream. In between one of the layers, add a slice or two of the cake.
  4. You can layer it any way you want.
  5. Before the last layer sets, add the cashew pieces and freeze until you are ready to serve. Leave it out for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
