- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C, and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with nonstick baking paper. Mix 130ml soya drink with the lime zest and juice in a jug; set aside. It will curdle, but that’s OK.
- Put the egg alternative* in a bowl and whisk in the remaining 120ml soya drink, a little at a time, until fully incorporated; set aside. Combine the four and sugar in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt.
- Add the oil to the lime and soya drink mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients with the egg alternative mixture. Fold together until no white streaks remain, then pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 1 hr or until risen and golden, and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Set aside for 10 mins to cool slightly, then prick all over with a cocktail stick and spoon over the 4 tbsp Mojito. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
- Once the cake is cool, mix the icing sugar with the remaining 4 tsp Mojito to make a thick, pourable icing. Pour over the cake and top with the lime zest and mint leaves to serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
