- Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
Make the Ladyfingers
- Whip chilled aquafaba and cream of tartar in a large bowl until stiff peaks form (5-7 minutes). Gradually add caster sugar and whip until glossy.
- Fold in sunflower oil, dairy-free yogurt, and vanilla extract. Sift flour and baking powder together, then fold into meringue mixture.
Bake the Ladyfingers
