A Date With Rum Cake Vegan Recipes

Steps:

• Chop dates finely until you have 1 cup, then add to them enough rum to saturate them (they oughtn't to be swimming in it, unless that suits your fancy).
• Mix together the applesauce and baking powder in a small bowl then set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine ingredients from flour to salt and set aside.
• Add to the bowl containing the flour mixture the applesauce mixture, dates, oranges, oil and soy milk.
• Spoon batter into pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes.
• Cool and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line a 900g/2lb loaf tin with non-stick baking paper, using a little oil to make it stick. Put the dates into a small pan with 200ml boiling water and simmer for 5 mins. Drain the liquid into a jug, then put the dates into a food processor. Add the bananas and 100ml of the date liquid and whizz until smooth. Mix the nuts, dried fruit, polenta, spice and baking powder in a bowl, then add the date purée and rum, and stir until combined.
• Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold into the cake mix. Tip into the tin (it will be quite full), then top with the remaining pecans and the banana chips and sugar, if using. Bake for 1 hr until golden and crusty and a skewer comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into slices.
