Vegan cake
The fasting cake with nuts and jam is an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy a tasty dessert without breaking the fasting rules. This simple yet refined recipe combines the rich flavors of nuts with the sweetness of jam, creating a savory combination that will delight both the taste buds and the eyes.
To prepare this cake, you need the following ingredients: 300 g of ground nuts, 200 g of sugar, 250 ml of water, 200 g of flour, 100 ml of oil, one teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of vanilla essence, and your favorite jam (plum, apricot, or raspberry). These ingredients are accessible and, most importantly, do not require much time to prepare.
The first step in preparing the cake is to prepare the nuts. Grind the nuts finely, being careful not to turn them into paste. In a large bowl, combine the ground nuts with the sugar and flour. The mixture will become the base of your cake. In a saucepan, boil the water together with the oil, then add the baking soda. Mix well and let it boil for a few minutes.
After the water and oil mixture has cooled slightly, pour it over the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. It is important not to mix too much, just until all the ingredients combine. Add the vanilla essence to enhance the flavor of the cake.
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper. Pour half of the obtained mixture into the tray, then add a generous layer of jam, spreading it evenly. Then, pour the remaining mixture over the jam, making sure it is well covered. You can use a spatula to smooth the surface.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test. Once ready, let the cake cool in the tray, then cut it into squares or diamonds.
This fasting cake with nuts and jam is perfect to be served alongside a cup of tea or coffee, being an ideal choice for any occasion, whether it is a regular day or a celebration. Savor each piece and enjoy a dessert full of flavor and tradition!
We grease a suitable baking tray with margarine or oil and preheat the oven to 180 degrees. We lightly roast the nuts to enhance their flavor. We mix the remaining ingredients, add the nuts, and pour the prepared batter into the tray. We bake the cake until it passes the toothpick test. The fasting cake is allowed to cool before it can be sliced.
