TRENDS
VEGAN AS PART OF
OUR BALANCE RANGE Today’s consumers are putting a great deal of thought into the foods they eat. Well aware of how their choices affect their personal health, their community and their planet, they are looking for authenticity and want to make a positive impact on the world. They are loyal to brands and establishments that support causes they care about. As the majority of consumers now choose sustainability over affordability, bakers and bakery manufacturers need to adapt and be mindful of what they stand for.

PARTNER WITH DAWN TO CREATE YOUR VEGAN OFFER Interest in veganism has witnessed rapid growth over recent years and is now becoming a ‘must have’ within the bakery industry. The number of people committing to a strictly plant-based, or vegan, diet is on the rise, as well as those “flexitarians” who are looking to limit their consumption of animal derived products.

“There is no better time for the bakery sector to get involved with the vegan trend than now. Vegan sweet bakery products are becoming the ‘new normal’ and, instead of differentiating between vegan and non-vegan, we are now seeing manufacturers offering the same delicious products to all consumer diets, whether plant-based or not.” Sarah Browner Market Research & Insights Manager
VEGAN SPONGE CAKE MIX
A NEW ADDITION TO OUR VEGAN RANGE: VEGAN SPONGE CAKE MIX Sponge cakes are very light and airy types of cakes. They are known under different names depending on the country, examples are: Génoise in France, Sponge in the UK, Biscuit or Kapsel in the Netherlands and Bizcocho in Spain. Though all light and airy cakes, they are used in different applications, with texture and colour variations. They are rarely left plain and are mostly used to create pastries carrying fillings, creams, toppings and decorations. Their composition remains however similar. Some of the main ingredients of a regular sponge cake recipe (non-vegan) include wheat flour, sugar and a high amount of eggs (approximately 40%). The eggs are contributing a soft, light, fluffy and airy structure and mouthfeel, as well as delicate eating properties.
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TEXTURE

STRONG HOLD
FLEXIBLE (for rolling, layering..) TOLERANT
An optimal vegan variant, with no compromise on texture and functionality Our R&D teams used their knowledge and expertise to solve the challenge of removing the high amount of eggs from the recipe to create a vegan product. Using their experience gained from the successful launches of our Vegan American Mixes, they developed a new mix to bake vegan sponge cakes and swiss rolls. With good batter structure and aeration, your customers will be able to enjoy similar eating properties and sensorial experience as in regular sponges, now in a vegan version.

GOOD TO KNOW
TIPS AND TRICKS • Add the soy drink cold (around 4˚C). For optimal results, avoid using bio/organic soy drinks. • If density is too high, mix 1 more extra minute at high speed repeat until proper density is reached. • Don't forget to grease the ring/pan to prevent the cake from sticking to the sides.
• Vegan sponge batters have higher densities than regular sponge batters. It should be between 400g/L to 500g/L. • Vegan sponges in large rings (26cm) need longer baking time at lower temperature compared to traditional sponge. • Vegan sponges require more batter to get to the same cake volume than regular sponge batters.
