1 cup water
1 tablespoon instant coffee, or as needed

3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

100 g vegan butter, I use food.com Banana Vegan Butter
200 g brown sugar
120 g white sugar
vegan egg replacer powder for 2 egg
100 g soymilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200 g pumpkin puree, I used fresh but canned is OK
250 g flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mace
50 g walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F or 180°C Grease and flour a 9in square cake pan.
  • Mix butter and sugars 10 seconds/speed 4 - or until combined.
  • Add the egg replacer, soy milk, vanilla and pumpkin. Mix 10 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down. Mix 10 seconds/speed 5 again.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Mix 10 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down. Mix 10 seconds/speed 5 again.
  • Add the walnuts and stir in by hand - the Tmix will pulverize them!
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweet, dense flesh that is perfect for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pumpkin is tender.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will make the pumpkin smooth and easy to work with.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan: This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This vegan pumpkin cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a delicate pumpkin spice flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
