Perfecting Vegan Sponge Cake

[TheBlueApron]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to making anything vegan but wanting to learn more about it. I am just starting up as a home baker making cakes, on a very small scale and wanted to look to expand my knowledge a little on vegan cakes. I have found previous attempts to be quite dense and not anything very pretty!
Any advice is most welcome!
Thanks
Becky

Re vegan sponge cakes, this is my go-to recipe: https://www.baking-forums.com/threads/vegan-chocolate-cupcakes-with-a-hint-of-coconut.1081/

It's a chocolate sponge cake, but you could try replacing the cocoa powder with extra flour. They're always popular at parties, no-one can ever tell they're vegan!

Hi
I was wondering if you this plain flour could be replaced with a gluten free kind? Thanks!
