Spiced Oat Almond Gluten-free Cake, in Strawberry Nuts Goji berry parfait. Vegan GF gum-free

February 17, 2012 By Richa 31 Comments

This recipe for Spiced Oat Almond Gluten-free Cake is perfect in this parfait. Vegan GF gum-free

Jump to Recipe

I whipped up a cake on the day before Valentines day, with oats, rice flour and almonds and was wondering about what to do with it. Since hubbs is used to cakes and cookies every other day. So I made a parfait. Though it didnt look or feel too fancy or elaborate, but it surely won hubbs over ๐Ÿ˜‰

The cake is spiced with ginger and cloves, my current favorite spice combination. It is nutty and melt in your mouth, somewhere between a sponge and a crumbly buttery muffin.. and it works in perfectly in this parfait. I dint use any gum in the cake, you can add a little to make it less crumbly.
You dont need a special day to make either the cake or the parfait. It makes for a great breakfast or an after meal dessert. I know, coz hubbs has asked for it 3 more times already:)
 
 
I added some beet to a portion of the cake batter to pinkify the top. That is totally optional. ๐Ÿ™‚ It was amazing to see so many hearts, chocolate, pink things and all vegan on all blogs and food photography sites! We had a bunch of chocolate cakes on the weekend, so this fresh parfait was a refreshing change. Check out Spiced Chocolate cake, Carrot Cardamom Cake and more in the Collection here.
 
Want to grow your own urban garden? Find out how on Localblu. We live in a cozy and small condo in downtown Seattle, and with the amazing local and organic food that I have tasted lately, gardening and growing our own sounds like the way to go. Hopefully this summer we will see some plants in our 8 by 4 balcony and the community p-patch.

For the pink layer:

  • 2 teaspoon beet puree
  • 1 Tbsp Oats ground

Instructions

  • In a bowl whisk the oil, water, agave, sugar, vinegar and flaxmeal till well combined.
  • In another bowl whisk all the dry ingredients and add to the wet mix.
  • Pour the batter in a parchment lined pan.

  • Top it with chopped strawberries or fruit of choice, some chopped walnuts or other nuts and dried goji berries.
  • Top this layer with plain Coconut milk or other non dairy yogurt. For a more dessert version, add a little agave or raw sugar and spices of choice to the yogurt(I used SoDelicious plain coconut milk yogurt with a little ginger powder, cinnamon and raw sugar mixed in for just a hint of sweet and spice)

  • Dig in and smile!

      Thanks Junia! I think the key is the healthy options taste as scrumptious and fun as the indulgent ones.:) I dont like fat and sugar highs myself. I love fresh, mild sweet and nutty things:)

    My God Richa, you have a lot of patience taking pictures. I am amazed with different backgrounds. Very nicely done. I love parfaits. They feel rich, but aren’t that much.

      Thanks Champa. Its the same setting with some prop change:) i like the balance with the fresh fruit and yogurt and the heavier sugary nutty cake!

    I am loving goji with almond right now – I’ve been experimenting with ways to use chia seeds, and today have come up with a goji berry and chia seed raw almond milk- tastes delicious and has an interesting texture! Definitely worth a try – check out my recipe here: http://www.indigomemoirs.com/2013/05/08/detox-almond-milk/.

    Very yummy! My hubby will like this. I will surely try it. I have a half a bag of goji berries just itching to be used for something delicious like this. This is very healthy as well.
