Fruity pineapple cake with cashew frosting

The #veganuary is in full swing and I hope you are enjoying it to the fullest. We were the last few days on the road in the snow, more precisely in the Zillertal and it was the hammer. Great weather, powder snow without end and even the sun has occasionally blinked through. Since I am immediately times in summer mood and have longed with an exotic fruity recipe. Nothing against the Winter but such a summery delicacy always goes, right? No sooner said than done, I experimented a bit and it turned out to be a simple, moist pineapple cake with Cashew Frosting out of it. Are you ready for a little exotic side trip? Then be sure to read on.

It does not always have to be Cream be, right? Yes it must! Especially if it is to be a cake. But who says please that Cream can not also be vegetable. After all, I already have a great recipe for making Coconut cream on my blog. But this time I wanted something different, cashew based with a pleasant tart flavor from yogurt. You don’t need much to make it, except a handful of ingredients and once again a good blender. I have linked you my favorite model below (no sponsoring).

Say Creeeeeeeam Cheeeese!

The frosting should remind a little of cream Cheese only not so greasy and with a fresh flavor. The challenge was to make the binding without coconut oil. Currently, many manufacturers use coconut oil to get a natural hardening. The saturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature and become hard as soon as you put them in the refrigerator. Personally, I’m not such a big fan of coconut oil, as I tend to avoid saturated fats. That’s why I use xanthan gum for the frosting, which sounds exotic but is an all-natural binder. In the vegan cuisine it is indispensable for me and I have also linked you here my favorite product under (no sponsoring – I only use products that I find good myself).

VEGAN CAKE FEVER !!!!

For the frosting need we cashews, vegetable yogurt, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, bourbon Vanilla, xanthan gum and a pinch of sea salt.

The cake base consists of jarred pineapple, oil, spelt flour (or gluten free flour mixture ), raw cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, bourbon vanilla and a pinch of salt.

If you want to skip the frosting completely, no problem. Just sprinkle some powdered sugar over the cake and you’re done! The dough tastes great even like this. One Golden Latte , Immune tonic or just a great hot cup of coffee with it and you’re done.

Off to the oven I would say? I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
