So after the success of the Witchy High Tea, I was asked about recipes for various cakes! As a broke, witchy vegan, I thought I would publish some of my recipes here for those who want or need them.
These are the cheapest ways we can still have good food, so they may be of help. I have also added witchy elements when possible to keep it magickal.
This is the basic vanilla cake recipe that I will post modifications of. I make all of these recipes intuitively, so I have attempted to make them as replicable as possible.
I found that most of the online recipes had weird ingredients, so I was compelled to make my own!
Ingredients:
2-3 tablespoons of Nuttelex or other butter alternative
1/2 to 3/4 cup of sugar, I use raw sugar
2 cups plain flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup chia seeds
2 cups soy or other milk
Grease a round cake pan, approximately 20cm. I prefer coconut oil and a circle of baking paper on the bottom of the tin.
Preheat normal oven to about 160-170 degrees Celsius. My oven is a little dodge, so I have to take it easy on the cakes.
Mix butter alternative and sugar in a mixing bowl until blended. Add the chia seeds, then add the flour, baking powder and salt. Keep on stirring and add the vanilla essence or extract if you are lucky! Finally stir in the milk alternative.
