Rhubarb Cake ~ Redux

I just want to apologize for the multitude of posts today. I won’t make a habit of it. ♥

After making the Rhubarb Kuchen the other day, my Elflings have been begging me to make some more. Today I did, but I didn’t want to get any more of the SoyaToo! whip. No way, Jose! I made whipped cream with coconut cream instead! *happy dancing*

Rhubarb Kuchen

2½ C flour*

2 tsp baking powder (aluminum free)

¼ tsp salt

½ C solid coconut* oil (or vegan butter*)

¾ C sugar*

substitute for 2 eggs

¾ C coconut* milk (soy, almond)

2 tsp cinnamon*

3 C rhubarb* preserves (plum halves, apricot halves, any fruit or preserves)

* = Organic

∴ Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas mark 5. Grease a 9×13-inch pan and set aside. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Add coconut oil to flour mixture, and begin blending with a pastry cutter, two butter knives, or your fingers, until mixture loos like fine peameal. Mix in sugar and stir well. Add egg substitute and coconut milk. Combine everything together well. Turn dough out into the greased pan, and pat dough out to either end and side, making sure to create a little lip around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the dough. Pour on your rhubarb preserves (other fruit preserves/jam, or arrange the fresh fruit you are using), and bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy! ♥

Whipped Coconut Cream

2 cans coconut* cream (regular – NOT light)

½ C cane sugar*

½ tsp vanilla* extract

* = Organic

∴ Carefully scoop the cream from the cans of coconut milk (or you can pour the contents into a glass bowl, then let the coconut water separate from the cream over the course of 1-2 days in the fridge) into a glass or metal dish, making sure you don’t get any of the coconut water (use the coconut water as is, or in a smoothie for extra yummy-factor). Add the sugar and vanilla, and whip at high speed until peaks form. Serve with your favourite cakes and/or desserts, or however you like whipped cream. Store covered in the fridge for 3-5 days. You can re-whip if needed, while it lasts. Enjoy!

This is the best whipping cream ever, and it’s vegan! ♥
