- Add in the vegan egg substitute, 80g yoghurt, and date mixture you made earlier, mixing well.
- Sieve in the dry ingredients (spices and flour) until combined. If it looks a little dry, add a splash more m*lk.
- Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
- In a separate bowl, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of yoghurt with Biomel complete gut powder.
