I made her Vanilla Bean Cake yesterday, I used Navy Beans and, in place of vanilla, Maple Syrup. It turned out scrumptious and the kids LOVED it! I need to work on my skills getting the cake out. I oiled the stone bundt pan, but I didn't flour it, will do next time!
This morning, the kids and I had it for breakfast, and I put unsweetened Coconut Cream and frozen cherries on mine. I'm planning on making the cake again, and blending cherries with the coconut cream to make a frosting. I hope I have enough beans left for the cake!
Looks AWESOME! I have a great yellow cake recipe that is my GO-TO but I really love the chocolate bean cake we sometimes make so I had in mind making this vanilla version for Abby's 8th birthday next week. She requested vanilla cake with strawberry frosting. Gotta work on the frosting part!
ReplyDeleteMelanie - what about using this Raisin Cashew Frosting, but doing Strawberries intead? What all are your family's allergies?
