It’s a special time for Plant Power (Vegan) as we celebrate three years of promoting plant-based living here on Hive. I couldn’t be more thrilled to contribute to this milestone by baking a vegan cake that embodies the simplicity and deliciousness of plant-based ingredients.
When I think of celebration, a cake is the first thing that comes to mind. And fittingly the vegan community has created this nice initiative of baking a cake for the purpose of the celebration. For this occasion, I wanted to create a cake that is not only delicious but also easy to make using common vegan ingredients.
I carefully got all the ingredients making sure they are all vegan. I used a combination of coconut milk and cinnamon which gives the cake a rich, warm flavor, making it perfect for celebrating this momentous occasion.
Below are the full list of ingredients I used to create the cake:
The Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 medium sized coconut
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cooking spoon vegan butter
- 2 tsp liquid vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup water
Procedure for making the cake
- First step I did was to add sugar to the butter and whip to make it light and fluffy.
- Next I cut the coconut open and grate it to get the milk from it
Next I got a bowl, there I combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, I mix the coconut milk, vegan butter, vanilla, and water.
I Gradually added the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
- Next I got a pan, greased it with butter, added flour to stock to it, poured out excess flour. Then I Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Using the local constructed oven. I was able to Bake it for like 30 minutes
Preparation for coating
- 250g Icing sugar
- 1/2 cooking spoon Vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon green color
For the coating I gently mix the Vegan butter to the icing sugar, with the green color to form a paste. Then coated the cake and wrote the word "Plant power vegan" on it .
This vegan cake turned out to be everything I hoped for—moist, flavorful, and the perfect way to celebrate Plant Power’s anniversary.
As a bonus for this special occasion, I also got papaya fruit to make things more colorful and delicious, I had fun cutting it in different shapes.
So I had my cake and my fruit, I wanted th arrangement to look really beautiful so I made decided to make a letter work by recycling some waste products and cutting letters out of it. I carved out the word: "Happy anniversary Vegan" and decorated it
