Vegan Pineapple juicing pulp cake
We love making our own fresh fruit juice from time to time, choosing from whatever fruits are available in the house and satisfying our spontaneous cravings. However, when it comes the time to wash the dishes, my husband would often stop me and say, “You can’t just throw this pulp away!” Sometimes he’d offer to eat it straight, or I’d insist on returning it to nature by tossing it into the ditch, often near the blackberries. But recently, he suggested something different: “Why not make a cake with it?”
So, I decided to give it a try. I did some research but didn’t find much in the vegan section, so I took a chance and experimented. The result was a delicious vegan cake made with pineapple pulp. We used a mix of pineapple, cucumber, apple, and ginger, which created a beautiful and flavorful combination when mixed into a simple vegan cake batter made with oil, baking soda, cane sugar, and flour.
You can easily vary the type of pulp as well as the fruit for topping.
Enjoy this fruity creation!
Vegan Pineapple juicing pulp cake
Equipment
- 1 tart pan Ø 28 cm
Ingredients
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 3/4 cup juicing pulp I used a pulp from pineapple, apple, cucumber and ginger juice
- 1/2 cup neutral oil
- 1 + 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ca. 1/2 cup water or less, depending how liquid your pulp is
- 1 slice fresh pineapple, cut in small pieces or other fruits based on the flavor of your pulp
Instructions
- Oil and flour your tart pan. Preheat your oven to 180℃.
- With your immersion blender, blend well the sugar with the pulp. Place the mixture into a bowl. Add the oil.
- In another bowl, combine well the flour and the baking soda.
- Fold the flour mixture into the liquid part. Add water (the amount chosen based on the juiciness of your liquid part) to get a soft, but not too liquid batter. It should drip down chewy from your spatula.
- Pour the batter into the tart pan, spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle with the pineapple pieces, push them slightly into the batter.
- Bake your cake until golden brown (approximately 30-40 minutes).
