  5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until fully combined.

  6. Pour the batter into the lined tin and level out.

  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

  8. Invert the sponge onto a large piece of baking paper, peel away the original baking paper, and trim the edges.

  9. Roll up the sponge using the paper and set aside to cool fully.

  10. For the vanilla buttercream, cream the dairy-free butter until creamy, then add icing sugar and vanilla extract and whip until fluffy.

  13. Cream the dairy-free butter until creamy, then add icing sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate, and whip until fluffy.
