Vegan Christmas Cake
The season of Cake is here. Yes, Christmas is around the corner, and it is the perfect time to bake some cakes. In this blog, we’ll share one of the healthiest and tastiest banana bread recipes from a trusted exporter of sunflower oil. Ingredients
4 tablespoons of dried fruits of your choice
2 tablespoons of citrus peel (either lemon or orange)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla
A cup of brown sugar
⅓ cup of oil
1 ¾ cups of wheat flour
120 ml of apple juice
Walnuts, cashew nuts, and almonds chopped 100 grams
½ tablespoon of cinnamon powder
Cloves - 8 nos
⅓ teaspoon nutmeg
Hot water ¾ cup
Methods
Chop the dried fruits and nuts finely, separating the nuts. Combine the raisins, apricots, cranberries, and citrus peels in a large mixing bowl.
Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil. For recipes using wheat flour, mix in an extra 1.5 tablespoons of water. Pour the boiling water onto the dried fruits and let them cool before proceeding.
Combine cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small spice grinder. Grind into a fine powder. For easier grinding, you can add a tablespoon of sugar. Allow the mixture to cool. Once cooled, preheat your oven to 170°C and let it heat for at least 15 minutes.
Stir the brown sugar, oil, orange juice, vanilla, and vinegar into the fruit mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
In another bowl, sift the flour, salt, spice powder, and baking soda, discarding any large spice pieces. Mix the flour again and form a well in the middle.
Once the oven has reached the desired temperature and 12 to 15 minutes have passed, give the fruit mixture a thorough stir. Add it to the flour all at once, ensuring the fruit mixture has cooled before mixing it in.
Stir the mixture gently with a spatula until the flour is completely absorbed. Add the cherries and chopped nuts, giving it a quick stir, but do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into the cake pan, then tap it lightly on the counter to settle the batter. Be careful not to tap too hard, or the nuts may sink to the bottom.
Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. An 8-inch pan will need about 40 minutes, while a 9-inch pan will take around 32 to 34 minutes.
A clean skewer inserted into the cake will indicate it's done. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then gently invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For a finishing touch, you can lightly dust powdered sugar on top.
