Hello everybody! This video challenge was sitting in my drafts for months, and I couldn’t figure out of this was at all interesting to watch. I often set these small challenges for myself, where I have to create something without shopping for additional ingredients. Both because it’s way cheaper, but this way, I also because it forces me to be creative while using what I already have – we’re not about to waste ingredients because we forget they’re there. This is what this challenge is for.

How to:
Start by preheating your oven to 180 °C (350 ° F) draining and rinsing the beans, then add them to a food processor.
If you’re using powdered egg replacement, mix it with some plant milk, to get the proper consistency. If you’re using flax seeds, use water. It should be a liquid jelly. Add that, as well as the rest of the ingredients into the food processor – except the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate, either in a double boiler, or in the microwave, then add to the food processor as well.
I used small silicone moulds to make my cakes in, they only needed 15 minutes, if you’re using a bigger tray, the cake should need 20-25 minutes.
Once the cakes have completely cooled down, you’re free to decorate them however you like.
I decorated the cakes with a tofu-peanut butter crème with malt and powder to taste, along with a crispy tuile and caramelised popcorn.
