Vegan Lime Sponge Cake
This vegan lime cake is incredibly moist and fluffy, making it the perfect addition to your vegan plated dessert creation.
The vegan lime sponge cake serves as the perfect base for your next vegan plated dessert creation. The best part is that you can make it your own by swapping the lime with other citrus flavors. This lets you customize the vegan sponge to your liking, giving you endless options to explore.
The vegan lime sponge cake plays a crucial role as one of the components in my amazing plated dessert called "Palm Green," which you can find the full recipe for on The Dessert Lab (our plated dessert community). This delightful dessert is made up of cucumber and wasabi sorbet, sweet avocado puree, tangy lime panna cotta, yummy Gula Melaka crumble, fluffy lime sponge cake, and eye-catching Gula Melaka meringue shards.
