Icing and fillings

A simple glaze of icing sugar and lemon juice, buttercream or jam all work with a plain cake. Check that every topping is gluten-free, and dairy-free for a vegan cake.

The vegan version

The mix is vegan as sold. Replace the 3 medium eggs with 150 ml plant-based milk, and do not add water, as the pack says.

A note on allergens

EverFree mixes are gluten-free and suitable for coeliacs. They contain no nut ingredients, but they are made in a facility that handles nuts. Anything you add, such as toppings, chocolate or fillings, needs checking too: make sure it is gluten-free, and dairy-free if you are baking for vegans.
