4. When all the sugar crystals have melted, slowly add the boiling water and stir to form a smooth mixture. Cool this completely.

5. In a mixing bowl, add the margarine add sugar and beat well. Now add flax seed, apple sauce and beat for few minutes.

Dairy free vegan white frosting recipe

If you want to frost/ice a cake without using any dairy produce then look no further than Chefs fabulous white frosting recipe.

This is a cake frosting recipe that you will be making again and again for dairy free baking.

It is so very creamy and delicious that you will be licking every creamy smudge of the frosting from the plate.

Chefs vegan frosting recipe is very easy to prepare and looks fantastic spread onto any cake or baked goods.

Ingredients for vegan frosting recipe

10oz Powdered sugar
2 Tbsp Cold water (15ml spoonfuls)
1 Tbsp Vanilla essence
1 Tbsp Agave syrup (golden or corn syrup will work)
1 Tbsp Dairy free margarine

How to make a dairy free cake frosting

Sieve the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl .

Add all other ingredients.

Mix very well adding half a tablespoon at a time until it becomes a thick and creamy paste.

If the mixture is too dry add a little water, if the mixture is too wet add a little sieved powdered sugar.

Always make sure that when more water is added that very little amounts are used at a time or else the frosting will not spread well or set.
