Here is an interesting recipe for buttermilk cake with berries that is advertised as being gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free, and of course Vegan!
Gluten Free/Dairy Free and Vegan Buttermilk Cake with Berries Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3/4 c. hemp milk mixed with 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar (Hemp milk is richer and thicker than most milk replacers.)
- 2 teaspoons flax meal dissolved in 2 T club soda and 1 t olive oil (replacer for 2 eggs)
- 2 1/2 c. gluten-free flour mix (I used 1 c. white rice flour, 3/4 c. teff, 1/2 c. tapioca starch, and 1/4 c. cornmeal)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (demerara)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
- zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup of raspberries (or more—yes, please!)
- 3 tablespoons raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon large grain salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees, racks in the middle.
- Grease and flour (or line bottom with parchment paper) one 11-inch tart/quiche pan.
- Prepare the ‘buttermilk’ by mixing the hemp milk and vinegar in a bowl or measuring cup. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl or ramekin, prepare the flax gel, and allow it to sit for 3-4 minutes.
- Using the microwave or the stove top, heat the coconut oil until it has melted, and allow it to cool a bit.
- Combine the flours, baking powder, and sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate, smaller bowl whisk together the flax gel and the buttermilk, whisk in the melted coconut oil, and the lemon zest.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture over the flour mixture and stir until just combined – try not to over mix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, pushing out toward the edges.
- Drop the berries across top.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and then the salt.
- Bake for about 23-27 minutes or until cake is set (or a toothpick in the center comes out clean), and a touch golden on top.
- We preferred the texture of this once it had cooled nearly all the way.
- With raspberries getting moldy so easily, I would suggest storing the cooled cake, covered, in the refrigerator unless it will be entirely consumed the first or second day.
