Ingredients

Cake dough

• 250 g whole spelt flour
• 10 g baking powder
• 10 g lupin flour
• 4 tsp sparkling water
• 100 g applesauce
• 80 g date flour
• 120 ml soy drink

Filling

• 15 g cacao
• 15 g date flour
• 150 ml soy drink
• 1 tbsp soy drink extra
• 15 g starch flour

Glaze

• 4 Dates Deglet Nour
• 100 ml water
• 50 ml soy drink
• 10 g cacao
• 5 g starch flour

Instructions

Cake dough

• Place the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Mix the lupin flour with the sparkling water in an extra cup beforehand.
• Add the apple sauce and the remaining ingredients and stir everything together.

Filling

• For the filling, make a pudding from the ingredients. Bring the cocoa and soy drink to the boil in a pan and stir well. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp of soy drink in a cup and then add to the hot liquid and bring to the boil.
• Leave the pudding to cool slightly. Add half of the mixture to the batter and stir in.
• Then line a rectangular tin with baking paper, fill it with half of the dough and smooth it out.
• Pour the remaining half of the pudding onto this half of the dough and smooth it out.
• Then add the remaining half of the dough on top. Lightly prick the dough several times all over with a fork.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius top and bottom heat for 20 – 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, make the glaze for the brownies.

Glaze

• Cut the dates into small pieces and simmer with water for approx. 5 minutes until soft and creamy.

  Add the soy drink to the liquid and simmer briefly.

  Then pass through a sieve.

  Stir the cocoa into the liquid with a whisk.

  Stir the cornflour with a little soy drink in a separate cup until smooth.

  Add to the hot liquid and bring to the boil until it thickens
• When the mixture has cooled slightly, spread it over the finished cake and smooth it out.

Finishing

• Once the cake is baked, cover with the icing. Leave to cool slightly and then remove the cake from the tin with the baking paper.
• Then cut into small pieces and leave to cool completely.

Tip

When the cake is finished baking, remove it from the tin with the baking paper, turn it out onto another sheet of baking paper, peel off the baking paper and place it back on top. Then turn out again and put back into the tin. This makes it easier to cut the cake into small pieces later, as it no longer sticks to the bottom.

Interesting to know

Simple vegan Brownies are a classic pastry that came to us from America. They are now very popular in Germany.

I like to use whole dried and pitted dates for the cocoa icing as they give a better shine than date flour. Date flour is made from dried dates that have been finely ground into flour.

Make applesauce yourself

With homemade applesauce, you can choose the ingredients yourself and have the opportunity to avoid unnecessary additives, preservatives or artificial flavors. Store-bought applesauce often contains preservatives to extend shelf life. Make applesauce yourself allows you to control the consistency. You can blend it coarsely or finely, depending on how you like it. Store-bought applesauce may have a standardized consistency that doesn’t necessarily suit your personal taste.

Make applesauce yourself

The best way to get a delicious treat is to make applesauce yourself. Refined with cinnamon and lemon juice, it crowns any dessert.

Course dessert

Keyword Apple, Apple puree, cinnamon, lemon juice, water

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes minutes

Total Time 20 minutes minutes

Servings 1 person

Ingredients

• 2 – 3 apples
• some water for boiling

Instructions

• Wash, cut and core apples. Cut into smaller pieces.
• Bring to a boil with water in a saucepan. The water should cover the apples.
• Simmer for about 10 minutes, depending on the size and texture of the apples.
• Then put in a sieve to drain the excess water.
• Puree the apple mixture through the sieve.

Tip

If you like the applesauce a little sweeter, you can either cook dates or simply add 1 teaspoon of date flour. However, with date flour the color will be a little darker.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the cooking of the applesauce, then the apples remain brighter.

Mix other fruits with your applesauce to vary the flavor. You can mix different types of apples and add spices, such as cinnamon or vanilla.

Interesting to know

Homemade applesauce and store-bought applesauce can vary in several aspects, including flavor, texture, ingredients and freshness. Homemade applesauce requires time and effort because you have to peel, cut and cook the apples. Purchased applesauce, on the other hand, is instant and requires no preparation time. However, the taste to store-bought applesauce is definitely more intense since it is freshly prepared. Make applesauce yourself is just great and easy.
