Recipe Introduction


Light and sumptous, topped off with a decadently fudgey frosting, you won't be able to wait until the candles are blown out to dig into this one (Makes one Bundt cake)


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. aluminum--free baking powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil, preferably almond, walnut or safflower oil
1 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups plain soy milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla

Fudge Frosting

1/3 cup water
1/4 cup non-GMO cornstarch
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond butter, smooth
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or roasted carob powder)
2 tsp. vanilla
approximately 1/4 cup plain soy milk


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a Bundt pan with oil.

CAKE:
In a large bowl, mix the first four ingredients well. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Whisk just until the batter is entirely smooth, being careful not to overmix, which toughens the texture. Pour batter into the pan.

Bake until the cakes looks golden on the top and is springy to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. This should be approximately 35 - 40 minutes. Let cool completely at room temperature before frosting.

FROSTING:
Place the water and cornstarch in a saucepan, and whisk until fully integrated. Stir in the maple syrup. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is very thick and smooth, reduce the heat to lowand continue to stir for one more minute. Pour the
mixture into a food processor or, to mix by hand, a medium bowl. Add the remaining frosting ingredients, and process or stir until very smooth. The mixture should be very thick, but spreadable, so use the least amount of soy milk as possible. Set aside and let stand until completely cool
Frost cake and let the frosting sit for at least an hour for it to set.
Decorate with candles and voila!
