GOLD DUST CHOCO CAKE

19 December 2019 by Lisette Kreischer Leave a Comment

Get starstrucked and a bit tipsy with this shining chocolate cake with home made golden advocaat (sort of a Dutch egg nog). Expect intense, sophisticated and cosmic flavours and a wel deserved chocolate overdose.

For 1 large cake!

INGREDIENTS

Cake
350 g (2 1/2 cups) all purpose flour
125 g (1 cup) Fairtrade cacao powder
250 g (1 cup) Fairtrade raw cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
20 g (4 levelled tsp) baking powder
150 ml strong coffee
175 ml rice oil
375 ml rice milk

Golden milk advocaat
400 ml Fairtrade coconut milk
1 cm fresh turmeric, sliced (or 1/4 tsp turmeric powder)
2 cm fresh ginger, sliced
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
3 cardamom pods, crushed
zest of 1/2 organic orange
1 vanilla pod, marrow scraped out
40 g (1/3 cup) cornstarch, plus some cold water
25 g (2 tbsp) sugar
75 ml (1/3) cup rum

Whipped cream
250 ml vegan whipping cream
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice

Ganache
100 g Fairtrade vegan dark chocolate
150 ml Fairtrade coconut milk

Decoration
edible gold powder or luster dust
edible golden glitter

INSTRUCTIONS

Cake
Preheat oven to 175 C/350 F. Prepare 3 shallow cake molds (ca. 23 cm diameter), with baking parchment, or grease them with some plant based butter. Mix dry ingredients in big bowl. Mix all wet ones in another bowl or jar. Add wet ingredients to dry ones and fold in with spatula. Don’t over mix. Divide batter over 3 molds and bake in 25 min or until a skewer poked in the center comes out clean.

Golden milk advocaat
Put coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, zest and vanilla (seeds and pod) in sauce pan and bring a the boil. Turn heat low and let simmer for ca. 15 min, lid on. You don’t want the milk to evaporate. Sieve milk and put back in pan. Dissolve cornstarch in some cold water with sugar. Add to milk in the pan whilst stirring. The mixture will start to thicken now. Cook on low heat for a few minutes whilst constantly stirring. Let mixture cool down. When cooled down, add rum. Puree with a stick blender into a smooth substance.

Whipped cream
Whip whipping cream with sugar and lemon juice to stiff peaks.

Ganache
Chop chocolate in small pieces and put in heat proof bowl. Bring coconut milk to a boil on low heat and pour over chocolate. Stir every now and then until chocolate has melted into the milk. Let cool down a bit so it gets a bit thicker, but don’t let it cool down completely because it gets too stiff to spread.

To serve
Remove cakes from molds and place one cake on a beautiful plate. Spread with 1/2 part of golden milk advocaat. Add half of the whipped cream. Cover with another layer of cake and repeat steps. Cover with last layer of cake and spread ganache on top. Decorate with luster dust, dusted with the aid of a small sieve and add some glitter too.

INSTRUCTIES

Taart
Verwarm de oven voor op 175 graden C. Bekleed 3 lage taartvormen van ca. 23 cm doorsnede met bakpapier, of vet ze in met plantaardige boter. Meng alle droge ingrediënten in een ruime beslagkom. Meng alle natte ingrediënten in een andere kom of maatbeker. Voeg de natte en droge ingrediënten samen en meng kort en goed door tot een egaal mengsel. Roer niet te veel, anders rijst de taart minder mooi. Verdeel het mengsel over de drie taartvormen en bak in ca. 25 minuten gaar. Laat de taarten afkoelen alvorens op te maken.

Golden milk advocaat
Doe kokosmelk, kurkuma, gember, steranijs, kaneel, kardemom, sinaasappelschil, vanillemerg en lege vanillepeul in een pan en breng zachtjes aan de kook. Zet een deksel op de pan en laat op laag vuur ca. 15 minuten zachtjes trekken. Zorg ervoor dat de melk niet verdampt. Zeef de melk en doe terug in de pan. Roer de maizena los met een scheutje water en de suiker. Voeg dit papje al roerend toe aan de kruidige kokosmelk. Het mengsel gaat nu binden. Kook nog enkele minuten zachtjes door onder voortdurend roeren. Doe het mengsel over in een bakje, dek af met huishoudfolie en laat afkoelen. Doe het mengsel vervolgens over in een mengbeker en voeg de rum toe. Pureer met een staafmixer tot een gladde, vla-achtige massa.

Slagroom
Klopt de slagroom stijf samen met de suiker en het citroensap.

Ganache
Hak de chocolade in kleine stukjes en doe over in een hittebestendige kom. Breng de kokosmelk aan de kook en giet zodra het kookt over de chocolade. Roer af en toe kort door tot de chocolade helemaal gesmolten is. Laat een klein beetje afkoelen (maar niet helemaal koud en stijf worden), zodat de ganache wat dikker wordt en makkelijk smeerbaar is.

Opmaak
Haal de taarten uit hun vorm en plaats een taart op een mooi bord. Besmeer deze taart met 1/2 van de golden milk advocaat. Breng vervolgens de helft van de slagroom hierop aan. Dek af met de tweede chocoladetaart en weer 1/2 deel van de advocaat en de slagroom. Dek vervolgens af met de laatste chocoladetaart en besmeer de bovenkant met de ganache. Decoreer de taart door er met een zeefje een mespuntje goudpoeder over te verdelen en verdeel er nog wat eetbare glitters over.

Noot: Deze recepten vloeien voort uit een bijzondere campagne van Stichting Max Havelaar:
Genieten van eerlijke chocolade tijdens de Feestdagen

Chocolade, wie houdt er niet van? In Nederland eten we jaarlijks wel 4,7 kilo chocolade per persoon. Ook tijdens de feestdagen genieten we van dit bruine ‘goud’. Maar wist je ook dat cacao van miljoenen kleinschalige boeren komt? Ze leven vaak in extreme armoede en verdienen soms minder dan 0,67 euro per dag. Daardoor staan deze boeren voor grote uitdagingen. ‘Hoe zorg ik voor voldoende eten?’ ‘Wie van mijn kinderen kan ik naar school sturen?’ Om maar eens wat zorgen te noemen. En dan hebben we het nog niet eens over de impact van klimaatverandering op hun cacaoproductie.

Fairtrade werkt er hard aan om de positie van cacaoboeren te verbeteren. Cacaocoöperaties krijgen voor de cacao die ze onder Fairtrade voorwaarden verkopen ten minste de Fairtrade minimumprijs en een vaste premie. Dit geld investeren de boeren in productiemiddelen en trainingen, maar ook in betere gezondheidszorg en onderwijs voor hun kinderen. Stap voor stap kunnen zij zo werken aan een betere toekomst.

Let op bijgaand Fairtrade keurmerk tijdens het kopen van chocolade en dus ook bij de vegan chocolade in deze recepten. Dan weet je dat je een eerlijke keuze hebt gemaakt die bijdraagt aan het geluk van een ander. Op www.maxhavelaar.nl/eerlijkechocolade lees je welke eerlijke chocolade je waar kunt kopen. Voor deze recepten hebben wij gebruikt gemaakt van deze eerlijke chocolade, de vegan versies uiteraard.

Presenting a killer kitchen for which NO ONE has to be killed and EVERYONE gains!

We have a new cookbook 🔥 Written for Sam and he We have a new cookbook 🔥
Written for Sam and her pig companions @mymomsam. Because with the arrival of spring, we can almost smell the roasted coals again and what mostly lies on the grill above; the creatures that wanted so much to live. And that lights the fire in our hearts and gets us going. So Maartje pulled out her knives and Lisette her camera to fill the pages of... VLAM IN DE PLANT (Veg on fire). A happy book with an activist touch rich with delicious plant based recipes, a beautiful foreword by @karensoeters and an ode to dear Sam.

We discovered the cuisine of plants years ago and have been vegan for the animals for more than 38 years combined. It was a wonderful bonus that this way of life also turned out to be a lot better for the earth and ourselves. What we did not immediately expect was that this cuisine brought us huge taste explosions! We became big and strong on the power of plants and seduced and enticed by those wonderful flavours and textures. Meanwhile, we feel it is our mission to bring out the potential of this cuisine.

The popularity of BBQ has been skyrocketing for years and we felt it was time to once and for all say bye bye to the for many, boring image of veggies and take plants to great heights by putting them on fire. The plant based kitchen deserves the spotlight. And the BBQ is a great tool to make vegetables incredibly flavoursome. By cooking veg on the BBQ with the right spices, you enrich your kitchen with insane flavours and contribute to less suffering at the same time. So be tempted and seduced by the abundance of vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, weeds, fruits and herbs and fire up those plants.

Available to order now at all (online) bookstores in The Netherlands, via link in bio and @maartjeborst.

Vlam in de Plant could not have come about without Pig Sam, Karen Soeters, Stichting Melief, House of Animals, Diewertje van Wering and, of course, Kosmos Publishers. We are extremely grateful to all of them. ❤️🔥🙏🏼

This delicious orzo dish with roasted vegetables takes little time to make and is bursting with flavour. The tuna-like flavour of @goodcatchfoods Fish Free Tuna by our friend @dereksarno goes well with savoury flavour bombs like olives and capers, and the creamy orzo provides an excellent stage for this goodness.

Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in Th Ok ok, it might be raining tofu & beans here in The Netherlands, so maybe it is not the best time to fire up that BBQ and start roasting the hell out of those veggies. But we pray for sunshine and when that sun starts shining tofu, seitan, tempeh and mushrooms will hit a bowl of marinade and will be roasted like there is no tomorrow.

The time we've all been waiting for is finally her The time we've all been waiting for is finally here. The summer family BBQ! The best time for a good toast under the sun, and a tasty roast too! Roasted tempeh and grilled tofu topped with tasty sauces are the perfect ingredients to set the summer vibes we’ve been looking forward to.

And yes, you read right. In the family summer BBQ we imagine, animals are more than welcome to attend as long as they are enjoying the moment with us, and not there as a sacrifice for us.

Sam and her family would be the first to say thanks for leaving meat behind this summer - and hopefully forever more! Sam is a mother of 251 piglets, of which only 9 are here today due to the industry. She became one of the lucky ones in February 2021 when she was rescued while pregnant with her little ones by @meliefanimalsanctuary. In wanting to show the spirit of those behind the isolated walls of the meat industry, House of Animals will be launching a documentary about Sam’s story and those of her piglets in 2022.

This summer and all days to come, let’s honor Sam and all the souls we’ve lost as a result of the industry by eating plant-based, succulent BBQs! Inspired by Sam’s story, House of Animals created a recipe book with the help of us, @maartjeborst and @lisettekreischer, which will make your summer glimmer with taste, rich flavors and joy. Download it for free on the website @mymomsam (link in our bio).

SUNNY SIDES UP Drum rolls, please! FAMILY.EAT.PL SUNNY SIDES UP

Drum rolls, please!

FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. has hit planet Earth and here is the first recipe to go online! And certainly not the least! Yes, we know, what you see here in the pic looks suspiciously like a sandwich with sunny-side-up eggs. But none of that!

What you see are peaches (or apricots) with a cheesy sauce. Maartje’s father used to make this recipe often on the weekend. Super easy, super yummy.

You can keep it plain and simple by just making the cheesy sauce, and prep the toast with the sauce and peaches, or you can go wild and throw some slices of vegan ham on there.

Recipe now up on the blog (link in bio).
