Midsummer culinary experiences: 5-star vegan cake


I made such a delicious vegan chocolate-strawberry cake for my Midsummer party, that I need to post the recipe here. I think it might be the best cake I've done for a long time and the recipe will be definitely used again. In addition, it was quite easy and, in cake standards, it's almost healthy (only 1.5 dl of sugar, a bit of maple syrup, and 8 table spoons of coconut oil as the only oil used).



Mix the liquids:
1 tsp apple vinegar
6 tbs coconut oil
3 dl water

Mix the following and add to the liquid:
2 dl wheat flour
2 dl almond flour
0.5 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1.5 dl sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Bake in springform cake pan in 180°C for 30 min (use coconut oil for the sides of the pan and baking paper for the bottom).
Half the cake when it's well cooled down.

Make the chocolate filling:
2 ripe avocados
2.5 tbs cocoa powder
2 tbs coconut oil
3-4 tbs maple syrup
(water if necessary to make more fluid)

Spread the well mixed smooth filling on the other half of the cake, add strawberries cut in pieces.

Adjust carefully the other half of the cake on top and decorate with more strawberries and coconut flakes. 

Impress your guests and enjoy!
