Chocolate espresso cake

With the holiday season in sight we wanted to make a delicious two tiered chocolate espresso cake. It is vegan and gluten free and we used a few raspberries from our own garden. The ones we could save from Moos (the doxie) actually since he likes picking them.

The cake is airy and light, also allergen friendly so it is suitable for almost everyone…

Chocolate sesame cake vegan and gf

Meet Johann his new favorite cake. The black sesame seeds give a warm and nutty flavour and this cake is airy and soft. You can find black sesame seed ( in Holland) at the Toko or Turkish supermarket and is great in savoury dishes as well. Another plus is the fact that you don’t taste the coconut cream, together with dates-the most used ingredient in vegan baking. Warm, nutty and chocolate galore.

Three tier chocolate cake

For a blog that specializes in pies and cakes, my birthday cakes are generally surprisingly bad. There’s photographic proof of this on Instagram, where we just ended up sticking some sparklers in the cake, because it was really just that terrible. In the end, it took us a whole year to improve last year’s lemon meringue cake. But now I do have one (although it’s not the prettiest thing and the bad January lighting doesn’t help matters either) that’s actually good! It tastes delicious and: I have a birthday cake!

Gluten and dairy free bundt cake

To be completely honest with you, I absolutely love kitsch. More so than I love white and minimalism. But even in my own home I go for light colours, only to then ask myself why I ever thought that was a good idea with three pets running around the house and me being the queen of getting chocolate stains absolutely everywhere. But, yes, I usually go for light colours and would describe the style of Food Bandits as “cake on marble”. But now the time has finally come for me to finally use my one true love: edible glitter. If there is ever going to be a recipe that somehow requires tiger print in any way, I will have finally completed my life goal on this blog. For the holidays we have created this wonderfully soft chocolate Bundt cake, complete with chocolate sauce. And now that the holidays are finally here, I think everyone can use a little bit of glitter or fireworks in their life.

Almond chocolate cake vegan and gf

When we first found this recipe at Tasty Yummies, I could not believe that a recipe this simple, could taste that good. This recipe is quite simply perfect and I do recommend this as a “must try.” Vegan and gluten free, oh and all the chocolate goodness.

Gooey vegan and gf chocolate cake

Imagine having a brownie, a chocolate cake, and a Schwartzwälder kirsch torte in one. And now imagine this also being incredibly easy to make, while also being gluten free and completely plantbased! No worrying about finding all the ingredients at your local supermarket. Doesn’t that deserve its own celebratory statue or at the very least its own song, written and performed for Food Bandits?

Decadent chocolate tahini pie

This cake is truly luxurious. The biscuit made from chocolate and almonds, the layer of rich chocolate that covers it, the sweet fudge with sea salt, the tahini, and you could even add an extra layer of caramel with some coconut cream and powdered sugar if you want to go extra fancy. This cake is more than just a treat.

Christmas cake

It seemed like a nice challenge for us to try to create a vegan and gluten free version of this classic Christmas treat. And a quick bake version of it too, just in case you still need to catch up on Stir Up Sunday. The heating up of the ingredients makes the flavours even stronger, which will make you even happier when you taste all those wonderful spices, the orange and the coffee. I, at least, know for certain that we’ll be making this cake again for Christmas.

Ultimate chocolate pie

Whoa alweer het einde van onze kerst reeks met recepten. Ik hoop dat je inmiddels al je menu rond hebt waarbij je niet te lang in de keuken hoeft te staan of eerst 35455555 supermarkten hoef te bezoeken. Er is tenslotte niks mis met een lekkere pizza en zolang het een beetje gezellig is met kerst heb je al een fijne dag te pakken. Johann en ik hebben wel eens wat friet in de oven gegooid, een spuuglelijke joggingbroek aan gedaan en een stapel dvd's gekeken. Was een zeer ontspannen kerst kan ik je vertellen.
