This is a recipe for an easy-to-make vegan almond plum cake.
I started out wanting to make an eggless almond yeast cake with Italian plums planted in it like the cake I remembered from my days as a daughter-in-law to a German-born Hausfrau (German-born AND a Lutheran Pastor's daughter). But my husband said he didn't particularly like the yeast cake. So, I found several recipes for vegan almond cake and this one most perfectly suited my available ingredients.
I baked the cake in an 8'' x 8'' pan with parchment paper on it, in a counter oven. You could easily double the recipe and make it in a long pan in a regular oven.
Preheat the oven to bake (350 F. for a large oven or 375 for a countertop oven)
1. Mix together in a measuring cup:
1/2 cup of soy, almond or other milk
Juice of 1/2 lime, or lemon, or a teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
(Leave it to curdle for about 15 minutes and then add in
1/2 cup of maple syrup
1 teaspoon of Almond extract
and stir to combine.)
2. In a large bowl, stir until well combined:
1 1/2 cups of organic whole wheat flour-- I have been using the Walmart variety (or a Gluten Free blend of your liking)
1/2 cup of Fine-ground Almond Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
A pinch of salt (optional)
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and with as few strokes as possible, combine the ingredients into a soft dough. Spoon the dough into the parchment-covered pan and press in:
5 Italian plum halves, cut side facing upwards
4. Sprinkle granulated sugar over entire pan (optional)
NOTE: Today I put in about 2 cups of Saskatoon berries in lieu of the plums. Add any fruits or berries that appeal to you or that you have a surplus of. You know what I mean.
5. Bake for 38-40 minutes.
6. Cool.
7. Slice and serve-- makes 6 to 9 servings.
