This Recipe really did not come about according to plan, because I actually wanted to make donuts. However, it was then too much dough and also too liquid, then I thought why not just a delicious Pumpkin Cake from it tinker. No sooner said than done, this turned into two cake layers that were mega fluffy, soft and extremely delicious. Then I still thought about what could fit perfectly with it. To a Cake ? Buttercream of course! Yes, the calorie-counting among you now please listen away and because that’s not enough, walnuts are also added. Of course I have the newly created Cake then also immediately times let test and indeed of the tester of all testers, so to speak the “Head of cakeTesting” my dad! The feedback was MEGA! So here we go then, right?
Vegan pumpkin pie is so delicious
I think I’ve almost developed something of a small pumpkin addiction. Pumpkin soup , Pumpkin scones , the pie and there are still so many recipes floating around in my head that I haven’t made yet. But back to our cake. For the dough we need. Almond milk , baking soda, apple cider vinegar, pumpkin puree, raw cane sugar, frying and baking oil or another high-heat oil, spelt flour or my gluten free flour mix , almond flour, baking powder, bourbon vanilla, pumpkin spice, a pinch of nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
For the buttercream we need a vegan margarine, I use here organic alsan, powdered sugar, bourbon vanilla and a dash of Almond milk . Then only the walnuts are missing and off you go. Oh yes, a little tip on the side, if you don’t have powdered sugar in the house, you can easily make your own. Simply add raw cane sugar or other sugar of your choice to a high-powered blender and blend on high until it literally “dusts”.
Is there such a thing as a pumpkin addiction? I think I am addicted.
There’s actually not that much to consider when making pumpkin pie. I use two springform pans with a diameter of 20cm, the bottom lined with baking paper and the sides brushed with a little grease. I make the buttercream in the Blendtec (in the small container for the nut mush), which works wonderfully. Alternatively, you can use any other food processor, or work by hand with a whisk.
Fittingly I find a chai latte , hot chocolate or golden milk very tasty.
Let’s get started with this creamy vegan pumpkin pie. I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
