Vegan banana cake
A simple and quickly prepared cake made from a base of sweet bananas, vegetable milk, wheat flour, crunchy coconut flakes and a sweetener of choice! All you need is a bowl where you simply mix all the ingredients together and stir them well to a smooth dough. Then you can put the cake mixture into any shape you like: on a bakingtray, in a bundt pan or in a tall mould to make a banana bread.
Tahini cream
Tahini is probably one of the favourite ingredients for sweet, but also salty dishes for almost all vegans. This nut butter consists of 100% sesame seeds, which have simply been mixed for so long that they form a creamy paste. Tahini is well known to most people because it is added to hummus.
Some people simply don’t like tahini because of its unique taste, in this case you can use another nut paste for this recipe, such as almond or cashew butter. A banana-coconut cake with an almond sauce doesn’t sound bad either!
Aquafaba
Aquafaba is the dripping water of canned chickpeas. May this sounds absurd to you for a moment, because you often simply threw this water away; but if it is so simple and easy to use, why not use this”miracle water”; instead of throwing it away?!
With this Aquafaba you can completely replace whipped egg white in the vegan kitchen. And even if you can hardly believe it at the moment, the mass resembles the beaten egg white perfect without any difference!
In this recipe the tahini is mixed with whipped aquafaba and a little sugar to make a creamy and aromatic sauce.
