Soft Oatmeal, Carrot, and Dried Fruit Cake (Flourless, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free

Ingredients:

• 200 g oatmeal (gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or to taste)
• 240 ml vegetable milk (almond, oat, or soy)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 40 g raisins
• 1 grated carrot
• 1 grated apple
• 2 eggs
• 1 handful dried apricots
• 1 handful prunes

Preparation:

 Prepare the Oat Flour:

• In a blender, blend the oatmeal to a fine powder to create homemade oat flour.
• Pour the oat flour into a large bowl and add the baking powder and cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

 Incorporate the Liquids:

• Add the vegetable milk to the dry ingredients and whisk vigorously until you have a smooth batter.
• Then add the vegetable oil and continue mixing until the oil is fully incorporated.

 Add the Fruits and Vegetables:

• Stir in the raisins, grated carrot, and grated apple to the batter. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

 Prepare the Eggs:

• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become slightly frothy.
• Add the beaten eggs to the dough and mix well.

 Add the Dried Fruits:

• Chop the dried apricots and prunes into small pieces and add them to the dough.
• Mix everything well to ensure all the ingredients are combined.

 Baking:

• Line a 16 cm diameter mold with baking paper to prevent sticking.
• Pour the cake batter into the mold and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch. (To check doneness, insert a knife in the center—the knife should come out slightly moist.)

 Tasting:

• Let the cake cool before unmolding it.
• Serve as is, or with a little yogurt or almond puree for added indulgence.

Variations:

• More indulgent version: Add a few dark chocolate chips for a chocolatey touch without excess sugar.
• Egg-free version: Replace the eggs with mashed banana or 2 tbsp applesauce for a softer texture.
• Even fruitier version: Add orange or lemon zest for an extra burst of freshness.

Tips:

• Mix the oatmeal well: The finer the oat flour, the softer the texture of the cake.
• Do not overcook: Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out slightly moist to ensure the cake stays soft.
• Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it in individual portions for a quick snack.

Ingredients
For the Ice Cream Base:

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
3/4 cup coconut cream (for extra creaminess)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup or agave syrup
1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Butter Pecan Swirl:

1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Prepare the Butter Pecan Swirl:

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the vegan butter or coconut oil.
Add the chopped pecans and cook, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and slightly toasted (about 3-4 minutes).
Stir in the brown sugar and maple syrup. Continue to cook, stirring until the sugar has melted and the pecans are coated. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Ice Cream Base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the mixture until well combined and the sugars are dissolved.
Churn the Ice Cream:

Pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes.
Add the Butter Pecan Swirl:

Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the cooled butter pecan mixture. If your ice cream maker allows, you can add the pecans during the last few minutes of churning.
Alternatively, you can transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and swirl in the pecans by hand.
Freeze:

Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Serve:

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to make it easier to serve.
