Vegan carob cake with plum jam is one type of cake I make at the place I work at. It got good feedback and requests for recipe so I decided to share it with you 🙂 In Slovenia carob is commonly used in desserts and I wanted to use it as an alternative to cocoa powder. #shoplocalbaby
That is also the reason why this recipe is so similar to very famous recipe on my page: vegan chocolate cake.
ingredients
350
g
white or wholewheat flour
250
g
white or brown sugar
160
g
carob powder
1 tsp
baking powder
1/2
tsp
baking soda
1
tsp
salt
6
dl
plant-based milk
1.2
dl
oil
(I used the olive oil but you can also use sunflower oil)
4
tbsp
lemon juice
1
jar
plum jam
cocoa nibs for topping
instructions
- 1.
Start preheating the oven on 200°C.
- 2.
In one bowl mix flour, sugar, carob, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another mix milk, oil and lemon juice.
- 3.
Mix the dry ingredients slowly in the liquid mixture
- 4.
Divide the mixture in two parts and bake in two oiled cake pans Ø 22 cm. If you have only one bake in two batches. Bake the layer for 20-25 minutes – until a toothpick comes out clean. When it’s done put it out of the cake pan, cool it down and repeat the baking with the rest of the batter.
- 5.
Spread around 10 tablespoons of plum jam in-between layers and then top some more on the cake. Sprinkle with some cocoa nibs for extra crunch.
