Almond cake with banana and chocolate

I had some remaining almond pulp after trying to make almond milk inspired by oneingredientchef *english*. I also had a brown banana (actually i had 2 xD), and i wanted to make a cake.

I kinda wanted to use the almond pulp as flour, and not as filling, although i drooled a bit at fyrstekake/macaroon cake *norwegian*.

Inspired by veganeren her almond cake with raspberries *norwegian*, and her chocolate chip cookie bars *norwegian*, i decided to make an almond banana chocolate cake xD

Ingredients:
2 dl almond pulp
3 dl flour
2 - 2.5 dl sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.75 dl vegetable oil
3 dl vegetable milk
1+ teaspoon almond essence
1 banana, chopped in pieces (not mashed, i divided mine in 3 lengthwise along the natural division and then chopped in cubes)
100 g chocolate, chopped in pieces

First stir together the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and mix. Then add the banana pieces and chocolate and mix them carefully into the dough. Put in cake shape sized about 20x30 cm and put in preheated oven on 175°C for about 35 minutes. Check if ready.

Probably best when cooled, but we didn't wait that long, too impatient xD

Sorry for the horrible picture xD It was nice taste though =p

Everyone should also try the almond cake with raspberries on veganeren, it's also really delicious =D <3

My dinner today - Moussaka

Today was really busy at work, there kept coming costumers xD Unlike yesterday when we went hours without any customers xD It's nice though that so many wanted to visit our store today =D

I didnt really have time to eat or drink at work after 11 or so, but i drank a bit orange juice (more like orange pulp xD) after we were closed before i left.

Then i testdrove with my dad around. This time we went to an island i havent been before called Bjorôyna or something. It was pretty nice there =D I wanna drive back there another time =p

When i got home after some chilling i made moussaka =D It was in some recipe collection i found in my local shop (rema 1000, they have like monthly recipe collections in their shops).
This was so yummy i wanted to have the recipe on my blog =p

For about 2 persons:
Red sauce
0.5 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
TVP, i think i did like 1.5-2 dl or something, soaked in warm water along with a veggie bullion, and i also added some taco mix and a little bit of nutritional yeast, but thats not neccesary. Other vegan minced meat style can work also =p then no need to soak unless its dry like TVP
1 tablespoon tomato puree
0.5 can chopped tomatoes (1 can = 400 g)
Salt and pepper to taste

White sauce
25 g vegan margarine (i used alpro <3)
25 g flour
4.5 dl plant based milk (i used oat milk)
1 garlic clove, chopped
Nutritional yeast, to taste. I think i used maybe 3 tablespoons or so
Salt and pepper to taste

1 eggplant
Vegetable oil

For the red sauce: saute onion and garlic, then add TVP, tomato puree, and chopped tomatoes and simmer for a bit. Taste with salt and pepper.

For the white sauce: melt the margarine, stir in the flour, then add bit and bit milk while stirring. Simmer for a while and add nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the eggplant in 0.5 cm thick slices. You can also salt the eggplants if wanted to get out the bitterness. I was too lazy to do this xD

Grease an ovenproof dish and add a layer of eggplant, then a layer of white sauce, then layer of red sauce, then eggplants and sauces again until out of all. Finish with a layer of white sauce. Put in oven on 200°C for about 40 minutes. After removing from oven let it cool for about 10 minutes before eating. Yummy with a salad as side =D

 

And it was really yummy even if the pics arent the best xD

My lunch today - potato and carrot burgers

Hows it going with everyone?

Here i'm sitting at home trying to get some studying done xD

Just had my lunch, which today was some potato and carrot burgers that i found in a cookbook that i got while i was in school. The book is called "Fra boller til burritos" (from buns to burritos).

I had the burgers along with some lettuce, bell pepper and pastasauce. The pastasauce was from a jar, but mixed with juicing leftovers and some extra spicing xD

Ingredients for the burgers:
1 boiled potato, mashed (mine i guess was medium large)
1 carrot, grated (mine was medium large again =p)
0.25 onion, finely chopped
0.5 tablespoon flour
0.25 dl plant based milk
Salt
Pepper

Mix together the ingredients, form burgers and fry in pan until slightly brown on both sides =)

Enjoy ;p
