This is quite a large cake with four prominent cake layers and three layers of filling.
The ultimate 7 Layer cake right here!
You can of course cut down all the recipes to half batches and make a smaller version of this cake in any shape cake pans you like.
The rule of thumb with pretty much all cake batter recipes is as long as you fill the cake pans no more than half full you will be good to go!
I am baking into sheet pans obviously to get the rectangle shape for this finished cake
This same amount of batter will give you 3- beautiful 7″ cake layers instead.
As well as two thicker 8″ cake layers if you only have 8″ cake pans.
Aquaflaxa Buttercream was my choice for the icing on this one today
But you can use any buttercream recipe you like the best for this cake.
The only thing about the flax buttercream is that it stays a sort of off white color, compared to the other two which get more white, the American style being the whitest.
No Shortening Buttercream

For the cake batter: Melt the white chocolate and set aside Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, EnerG egg replacer, and salt in a mixer bowl and sift it together or mix on low to combine. Add the softened vegan butter and mix for about 1 minute until it resembles coarse meal and is evenly incorporated Add the vanilla extract and then slowly pour in the soy milk while mixing on low to medium speed until it is all incorporated then increase the speed to medium-high for 1 minute to develop the batter Add the melted white chocolate and mix to combine Divide the batter into greased and parchment lined cake pans Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until they springy to the touch when you gently press the centers. Cool the cakes while you prepare the cranberry compote For the Cranberry Compote: In a heavy bottom sauce pot, combine all the liquids with the sugar and spices and bring to a boil over high heat. Squeeze in the juice of that orange and the zest Add the cranberries and then return to a boil. Lower the temperature to a simmer for 15 -20 minutes, the sauce will begin to thicken and the berries will begin to pop. Discard the anise pods and add the vanilla extract Cool in refrigerator while you prepare the buttercream For the buttercream: Prepare as per the instructions on the recipe you chose, then divide the buttercream into 2 bowls (1/3 for the mocha filling and ⅔ for the icing) and add the mocha paste to the smaller portion by combining the hot water with the coffee and cocoa powder and whisk smooth Assemble cake as shown in the video
