Ingredients

dough*

  • 150 g spelt flour organic
  • 25 g cocoa powder organic
  • 50 g coconut blossom sugar organic
  • 50 g vegan butter organic
  • 1 pinch salt organic
  • 75 ml water
  • a little coconut oil or vegan butter to grease the baking tin, organic

filling

  • 150 ml maple syrup organic
  • 200 ml vegetable cream organic
  • 1 pinch nutmeg organic
  • 1 pinch of ground cinnamon organic
  • ½ tsp Bourbon Vanilla Powder or Paste organic
  • 3 tbsp starch approx. 20 - 25g, organic
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 pinch salt organic

toppings

  • 100 g pecans organic
  • some maple syrup to brush on, organic

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients except the water for the dough in a bowl to a crumbly mass. Add the water and form a dough. Place the covered dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out thinly on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to the cake tin and press down well. Remove excess dough with a rolling pin. To do this, simply roll the wood over the baking tin. Place the cake tin in the oven again for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius.
  • Place maple syrup and vegetable cream in a bowl and whip a little with a hand mixer or a blender (does not have to become stiff). Add the spices and stir.
  • Mix the starch in water to a paste and fold it under the filling. Continue mixing thoroughly so that no lumps form.
  • Pierce the cake base tightly with a fork and pour in the filling.
  • Bake the cake for approx. 20 minutes on the lowest groove of the oven. Then take it out, spread the pecans on the filling, spread it with maple syrup and bake again for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes
