Sunshine muffins & Raw cake

My updating has been low for many reasons, mainly because I'm switching to raw foods currently, and there's not too much to post about. But I had in stock these vegan muffins.

Sunshine muffins

Ingredients:

1,5 dl soy milk

0,8 dl fresh orange juice

0,8 dl melted margarine

1,5 dl sugar

1 tsp vanilla sugar

4,5 dl flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 tsp cardamom

1 tbsp grated orange zest

1 dl chopped dried apricots

1 dl chopped nuts

Preheat the oven in 175 degrees. Mix together in a large bowl soy milk, orange juice, grease, sugar and vanilla. Sift in the flour, baking powder and soda and spices. Do not overmix. Fold in the orange zest, apricots and nuts. Pour the batter in small muffin tins and bake for 13-15 minutes.

Raw banana-peach cake

I'm SO excited, this is the first time I actually made a raw cake, that has a solid texture! I bought some agar-agar and it worked well. It's not 100% raw since I added some potato starch to be sure, but I guess this would've been just fine even without.

Ingredients:

1 dl dried dates

½ dl sunflower seeds

1 dl nuts

½ - 1 dl coconut flakes

1 banana

2 peaches

about 1 dl soy yogurt

1,5 tsp agar-agar flakes

1 dl soy milk

(2 tbsp potato starch)

Soak the dates, sunflower seeds and nuts in water for about 6 hrs. Grind them in a blender and add the coconut flakes. If the mixture seems too dry, add some water. Set the base in a small cake tin, about 22x24.

For the filling, put the banana and peaches in the blender, add soy yogurt, and mix until smooth (add potato starch if wanted). Now heat the agar-agar flakes and soy milk in a kettle and let it boil, mixing all the time, for about 5-10 minutes. Add liquid if it seems to dry too much. Pour the agar-mixture in the filling and mix well. Pour on the base and let it cool for some time, and decorate with some coconut flakes. Put to the fridge for at least 2-3 hrs to settle.
