Vegan Chocolate and Orange cake

Leave a comment

I originally started with loads of freshly squeezed orange juice (I spent ages doing this) because I’ve been quite ill and in need of vitamin C! However, I randomly got a urine infection (which apparently wasn’t a urine infection), I was told that anything acidic can aggravate it and to only stick to water. So I was like, ‘oh, great, I wont drink this then’ and just had it sitting there for hours. It was too precious to waste so I decided to make a cake with it. Yes, cake is the only way forward.

Give it a try. I recommend having this cake warm with some custard!! You can buy custard powder that is free from milk at Tesco, click here to view.

Ingredients 

1 1/2 cups of plain flour. You can substitute this with Gluten free flour!

1/4 cup of coco powder

1 1/2 cup of coconut sugar

1/4 agave syrup

1 cup of oat milk

Pinch of salt and cinnamon

1 tsp of baking powder

4 tbsp of flaxseeds in hot water (just enough water to cover the flaxseeds)

1/2 an orange (for decoration)

Juice of 3 oranges (you can also add orange bits into it)

Juice of 1 lemon

Half a cup of maple syrup

2 tbsp Beetroot juice for the pink colour OR pink colouring

1 cup of cranberries

Half a cup of sunflower seeds

Half a cup of vegan marshmallows

Pinch of salt

Half a cup of Coconut oil

4 tbsp of rose water

ICING

Icing sugar

vegan cream cheese

3 tbsp of coconut milk

3 tablespoons of DETOX BREW (by mistydayplantpotions) – more for a darker colour

 

Instructions:

  1. Melt the coconut oil, maple syrup, pink colouring and rose water in a frying pan.
  2. While your liquids are melting, blend 1 cup of oats until it becomes flour.
  3. Add the blended oats along with the other cup of whole oats into the frying pan.
  4. Add all other ingredients – salt, sunflower seeds, cranberries and marshmallows.
  5. Stir until the mixture combines together.
  6. Pour into a non stick square tray.
  7. Using a spoon or a spatula, spread the oat mixture evenly until it is flat, making sure to cover the edges.

8. Place into the fridge until you prepare the icing.

9. In a bowl, mix together all the icing ingredients mentioned above, apart from the DETOX BREW powder.

10. Mix until it becomes a thick liquid.

11. Take 3 tbsp of the icing a put into a cup (this is only to get a different shade of grey so that you can decorate the icing, ignore this part if you don’t care about that :)) add a pinch of the DETOX BREW powder and mix until it becomes a light grey.

12. Add the rest of the DETOX BREW powder into your original icing mixture until it becomes dark grey/black – whatever shade you like.

13. Pour the darker icing evenly on top of your oat mixture.

14. If you did decide to make a lighter shade of grey, using a fork or a knife just kind of lightly make whatever patterns you desire 🙂

15. To finish off, top with sun flower seeds, cranberries and marshmallows. I added some coconut and cornflower for a bit more colour.

16. Place into the fridge for 2 hours min.

 

17. Cut into squares or rectangles and serveeeeeee. Or take pictures like I did whilst your family is moaning at you to hurry up so that they can try it.

Chocolate fudge cups with coconut & peanut butter filling

1 Comment

For the chocolate fudge base and top:

4 bars of dark chocolate

1 cup of vegan butter

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

3 tablespoons of maca powder

1 tsp of salt

2 tabespoons of maple syrup

Step 1

Add all of this to a frying pan until the chocolate has melted! Once it has melted, pour half of the chocolate fudge mixture into silicone cupcake holders and place them into the fridge for 30-40 minutes, longer if you have time!

Middle part/filling:

Half a cup of desiccated coconut

Half a cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup of maple syrup or agave

2 tbsp of matcha powder

1/4 cup of almond milk

Step 2

Blend it all until thick and smooth. Place it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Only when your chocolate fudge has hardened can you then add this on top…

Step 3

Use the remaining chocolate to pour on top of the coconut and peanut butter mixture! Your are basically layering!

Step 4

Top with pistachios, coconut flakes, maca powder. Whatever you like. Then place them back into the fridge for at least an hour until they have all hardened!

Optional – chocolate icing

I had to add this because I am literally a fan of icing. I’m that person who will eat all the icing and leave the actual cake.

1 cup icing sugar

3 tbsp almond milk

Step 5

If you do have chocolate let over, simply add the icing sugar to it and stir until it becomes thick. Add a bit of almond milk if you have to.
