vegan chocolate fudge cake

Hi! 

Today I am going to be telling you how to make a kidney bean chocolate fudge cake.  To make it even more special I have given you the recipe for my favourite icing!!

Chocolate bean cake

To make this you will need:
75 ml coconut oil
400g drained kidney beans
100g rice flour
50g cocoa or raw cacao powder
1.5 tsp baking powder
100g dark chocolate
2.5 chia eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tblsp date syrup
1 - 2 tblsp maple syrup

Put your oven on to 180C.  Melt the chocolate & coconut oil together.  Drain the kidney beans and add all the ingredients together in a food processor or blender.  Blend until smooth.  Line a 20" cake tin.  pour your cake mixture into it.  TIP! if the mixture looks a bit stiff, don't be afraid to add a little more almond milk.  Bake for around 20 mins or until when you stick a knife into the middle it comes out clean.

My favourite Chocolate & peanut butter icing

For this you will need:

3 Tblsp maple syrup

Either.. 4 tblsp cocoa or cacao OR 75g dark chocolate

1 tblsp of peanut or almond butter

3 tblsp vegan butter or coconut oil

Once the cake is cool mix all of your ingredients together to create a smooth icing.  If you are using dark chocolate or coconut oil you will need to melt these first!  Cover the cake with icing then top with anything you like.  I added fresh strawberries to mine and it was amazing!

Raw banana and raspberry ice cream!

Hi everyone!

This recipe is for my favourite banana and raspberry ice cream. Its super easy to make, you only need 2 ingredients and a blender!

You will need:

• 4 frozen bananas (make sure you freeze these overnight at least)
• 2 cups frozen raspberries

Simply place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and combine! If you're using a blender you may need to add a splash of almond milk or water to help it blend. I like mine in a bowl with extra raspberries on top or in a cone, I even have it for breakfast! You can also freeze the ice cream again if you'd like to save it for another day.
