Almond Oat cake with Candied papaya. vegan

My vegan oat cake with candied papaya is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth

Jump to Recipe

Mom got us some colored candied papaya(tutti-frutti as it is called in India) last year when she visited, and I made this cake for Dad’s birthday then. He fell in love with it and I made it twice more for him and also packed some for his flight! I keep making it with different nuts every few weeks, and soon I will run out of my candied papaya stash. Dad likes crumbly, not too eggy cakes, with sweet dried or candied fruit and both mom and dad were surprised by this moist and melt in your mouth cake, without any eggs or butter! It is always fun to debunk the age old myths about perfect recipes:).

On another note, I am making some picture collections on my facebook page.. Check out the Savory snacks and breakfast collection.
 
You can use the non colored candied fruit mix(I think it is called hawaiian mix) which has candied papaya, mango and pineapple for the cake too. Or you can make your own candied fruit like Candied beet here.
 
Mom and Dad have also decided to stop eating Parle-G(its a cookie/biscuit, which is omnipresent in almost all houses in India.. marketing 101!). They got some with them when they were visiting and chewie would get a tiny piece very morning and evening during their tea time.. and he started shedding bunches of hair! now if that doesnt tell you what processed stuff is in that never expiring cookie..:)

    This cake sounds pretty wonderful. I have a bag of crystalized ginger around that might be perfect for this.

    Ooooh tutti-frutti, yummy!! I enjoy eating them plain too. 🙂

    The texture of your cake looks so delicious and crumbly in that first image.

    Great news about your parents banning Parle G! Poor Chewie sacrificing his hair for the greater good. LOL But I know how happy you must be feeling. My parents turned Vegan in November and it’s such a good feeling to know that you’ve played a part in protecting them from terrible, unhealthy stuff. 🙂

    Thanks Susmitha! Yay for your parents going Vegan! It sure does feel great.. everytime mom calls me tells me she tried one my recipes and she will stick to it, hence reducing the non vegan food, it feels amazing!

    Abhinav’s Reaction to the Parle-G incident: … haan ParleG bahut achchi cheez hai. Issey ye pata chalta hai ki kuttone ko suit nahin karta hai.
