Spiced Plum Cake (vegan & gluten-free)

August 27, 2018 By Hana 4 Comments

Spiced Plum Cake (vegan & gluten-free)

The Autumn is around the corner and with it an abundance of new seasonal fruit. Do you ever truly pause and appreciate how much abundance of plants the Earth is giving us? Isn’t it miraculous the incredible amount of produce that we get to enjoy with all of our senses that we so often take for granted?

I really appreciate each farmer who takes the time to lovingly grow fruits and vegetables so we all can enjoy them. As someone who grew up in a family where we’ve always grown our own food, I know how much hard work and dedication it takes.

Now to my Spiced Plum Cake, I’m on a roll baking some good old fashioned cakes ‘plantisized’ and here’s another one for you for the late summer, early autumn season.

This cake is a version of my Summer Berry Cake, which I really enjoyed so I had to bake it with another favourite of mine – plums.

This time I’ve used a mix of ground hazelnuts, brown rice and buckwheat flour for my gluten-free mix. If this doesn’t work for you, substitute it with the gluten-free mix from my Summer Berry Cake or Raspberry Peach Crumb Cake, either of those would work well too.

I’m in Portugal now enjoying holidays with my family, eating lots of plums, peaches, melons and my favourite, figs! Wishing you beautiful end of summer holidays!

Much Love Hxx

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨

Sending much love Hxx 🕊
