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 😉

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. 🙂 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.

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.

  • Dig in and smile!

    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.

    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: https://www.indigomemoirs.com/2013/05/08/detox-almond-milk/.
