For the brownie base:

  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground vanilla

For the caramel layer:

  • 2/3 cup peanut butter (100% peanuts)

  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp oat milk

For the chocolate topping:

  • 1,5 Tbsp cocoa butter**

[:de]Anleitung[:en]Instructions[:]

For the brownie base:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C | 350°F.

    Grease a round 18 cm|7 inch cake pan with a little coconut oil.

  2. Add the chickpeas, peanut butter, oat milk & maple syrup to a food processor and blend until smooth.

  3. Put the remaining dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then add to the wet ingredients in the food processor and mix everything to a relatively tough dough.

  4. Put the dough into the prepared cake pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack in the mold.

For the caramel layer:

  1. While the brownie cools, you can prepare the date caramel.

    Just put all the ingredients in a food processor and mix to a creamy mass. That takes about 1 minute.

  2. Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled brownie and refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes.

For the chocolate topping:

  1. Melt the cocoa butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

    Add the remaining ingredients and stir well until a shiny chocolate sauce is produced.

  2. Spread the chocolate on top of the caramel layer and refrigerate the cake for at least one hour before serving.

TIP: This cake tastes even better on the second day. So it's perfect to prepare for a party or celebration.

 

* The carob powder adds extra sweetness and a chocolaty caramel flavor.
 
** I have used little drops as they are easier to portion.
 
The recipe for the brownie base is inspired by Vegan Richas peanut butter chickpea cookie pie.

 

I always choose organic produce whenever possible. It’s not only better for my health (and yours, too), but also for our environment. 🌍💫💚
