Great ideas for your vegan cake frosting.

I made use of a nice cream cheese frosting which is dairy-free, and to it, I added a little pink food coloring.

Making:

Mix 8 oz of vegan cheese cream with 1/3 cup vegan fat and beat it well till it turns creamy.

Add sugar 2 cups, then you keep beating.

Add more sugar, 2 cups again, and then add the vanilla extract.

Adding food coloring could be an option.

Beat it until it is smooth to get a very thick frosting, you can add more sugar.

Some other ideas include:

Vanilla frosting; just add half a teaspoon of extract from vanilla to the frosting base.

Chocolate frosting; if chocolate is your thing, you can still enjoy your chocolate strawberry cake. To the base frosting just add cocoa powder, the quantity should be around ¼ of your cup.

Vegan strawberry frosting; this method is just as simple. All you need to do is put some dried frozen strawberries to the base frosting, and blend it until it is well mixed. Then you get your pink frosting.

Tips for amazing vegan strawberry cakes

• Most preferably use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones.
• Wait for the cake to cool before you frost it, if you don’t do that, the cake will start sinking.
• The cakes continue their cooking process when they are being cooled, so resist the urge to overbake them.
• Put parchment paper at the bottom of the pan or use a spring-form pan, do not forget to oil the pan so it can be slick. It makes removing the cake easy.
• Do not use coconut oil for greasing your pan, it does dry out the cake as opposed to keeping it fluffy or moist.
