Vegan Reform Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the cake layers:

• 300 g ground walnuts
• 300 g sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 packet baking powder
• 250 ml sparkling mineral water
• 150 ml oil

For the filling:

• 1 liter plant-based milk (almond, soy, or any dairy-free milk)
• 100 g dairy-free cooking chocolate
• 200 g sugar
• 3 packets chocolate pudding mix
• 250 g margarine (vegan margarine)
• 150 g ground walnuts

For the glaze:

• 150 g dairy-free cooking chocolate
• 3 tablespoons oil

Preparation:

For the cake layers:

1. In a large bowl, mix the ground walnuts, sugar, flour, and baking powder.
2. Add the sparkling mineral water and oil, and mix everything until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured cake pan (24-26 cm in diameter).
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Once baked, let the cake cool completely.

For the filling:

1. In a pot, heat 800 ml of plant-based milk and sugar, and bring to a boil.
2. In the remaining 200 ml of plant-based milk, dissolve the chocolate pudding mix until smooth and lump-free.
3. When the milk boils, add the pudding mixture and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
4. Remove from heat and add the dairy-free chocolate, stirring until fully melted. Let the filling cool.
5. Once cooled, add whipped vegan margarine and ground walnuts, and mix well.

For the glaze:

1. Melt the dairy-free chocolate with oil over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring carefully to prevent burning.

Assembling the cake:

1. Carefully cut the cooled cake layer in half to create two equal parts.
2. Spread half of the filling evenly over the first layer.
3. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining filling over the top and sides of the cake.
4. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake and spread it evenly.
5. Let the cake set in the refrigerator, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
