So this right here is a delicious vanilla chocolate frosted cake made healthy vegan Style no oil no wheat and no refined sugar a lot of you ask for a healthy cake and this is it and it’s even nutree and today I’m going to show you how to make your own all right so let’s talk about what.
We’re going to use to make this healthy vegan cake but before we do I want to talk about that thing healthy vegan cake because I’m sure a lot of people would watch and push back and say wait a minute cake that’s healthy vegan but I want to talk about that so now the healthiest of healthy vegan are your salads your bowls and fruits and.
Vegetables and those kind of things but I had a lot of people write me and say hey I would love to have a healthy vegan cake what makes this a healthy vegan cake is what we’re using If This Were a traditional cake right now the ingredients that you would see in front of me would be things like butter and oil and eggs and refined white sugar.
Refined white flour these are things that definitely cause health issues when eating consistently but one thing I love about this cake guys is the Simplicity five ingredients here let’s talk about what they are we’re using oat flour instead of refined white flour we’re using oat milk instead of you know regular milk we’re using.
Dates to sweeten it and a lot of people say well look dates have sugar too and that’s true but if you’re going to sweeten something if you’re going to eat something the sweet or drink something the sweet there’s nothing healthier than dates to do that unlike refined white sugar and other artificial sweeteners dates have antioxidants nutrients and.
Fiber it is definitely the healthiest way to sweeten drinks desserts or anything else for that matter it’s a whole fruit we’re going to use some vanilla and we’re going to use some bakon powder if you want a cake and you want a healthier version compared to the traditional cakes this healthy vegan option is the way to go all right let’s.
Put it together okay so I’m using pittet mul dates here uh because they’re softer and easier to blend and get nice and creamy but any kind of dates will do okay so I’ve got my ingredients now it’s just a matter of blending it and you may be looking at this thinking man that’s a lot like making date paste and it really is although you know a date paste is.
Just dates and water but it’s the same kind of concept we’re just trying to make these dates nice and smooth um and then we’re going to go to the next step if you’re enjoying this video please like And subscribe below okay so I’ve got my mixture Blended let’s open it and see what the consistency looks.
Like okay and as you can see our mixture now I blended it really well it looks nice and smooth and this is what we want let’s go to our next step all right so now I’m just going to get my dry ingredients mixed together uh my oat flour as well as the baking powder uh before we add our date mixture to this.
Now um with the oat flour in particular you’ll see that it has some clumps here so I’m just going to take my whisk and I’m going to whisk it a little bit lightly just to get these clumps out and that way when I add the date paste there won’t be as many clumps and I don’t have to over mix my batter once I combine the two so I’m going to take a little time.
Now just to break up uh these uh clumps here and get this nice and smooth now keep in mind that because this cake is so easy to make it’s great for an impromptu dessert or if you’d find yourself having to make a cake on short notice no problem it’s that simple okay so I’ve got that done now we’re.
Going to combine our ingredients our date paste mixture with our dry ingredients here now it’s important with this batter not to over mix it or can make the oat flour become too gummy and that’s something that we definitely don’t want to happen all right so now I’ve got my batter mixed let’s get it into our pan.
And then we’re going to get it into the oven so I’m adding this batter to a spring form pan that’s lined with parchment paper but truthfully any pan will do now once you get your batter in the pan you just want to smooth the top and get it nice and even and then it’s ready for the oven okay so now we’ve got our batter in.
Our pan here now it’s just a matter of getting in the oven and cooking it and once we get it in the oven we’re going to turn our attention to making a delicious frosting to put over this cake okay so we’ got our cake in the oven and now we’re going to make our frosting now of course the cake was only five ingredients very simple ingredients this.
Is even more simplistic because we’re only using three ingredients here along with some water we’re using dates tahini and some cocoa pattern now dates were in the cake dates are in the frosting as well for those who are concerned about sugar um know your situation now for me I eat a very healthy diet and I’m very active so I could eat a healthy vegan.
Cake like this with these good ingredients and I could have two or three pieces not that I will but I might but I could do that and I wouldn’t have issues but it’s important to know your particular situation if you’re pre-diabetic if your insulin sensitivity is questionable um then it’s important that you know what your limitations are.
But for most people without those concerns a piece of healthy vegan cake sweetened with dates the ultimate sweetener um one piece is not going to be an issue it’s important that you know your situation and your limitations all right let’s put this together okay so I’m using tahini here because I want to keep this frosting and.
The cake nutree but if you have a different preference any seed or Nut Butter will do then we’re going to add some warm water and blend it into a nice fudgy frosting now since this frosting is pretty thick you want to Stomp and scrape the sides down as needed all right so I’ve got my frosting Blended and I’ve got it nice and smooth I wanted.
To show you how it looks here um just like a traditional frosting would look um and so so we’re ready to go uh we’re going to wait for our cake to finish baking let it cool really well that’s an important part and then we’ll get it frosted wait 10 to 15 minutes before removing your cake from the pan then allow it to fully cool before adding the.
Frosting Okay so now that I’ve got my cake out of the pan I’ve got it ready to go onto the plate but I’m not going to sit it like you see it here I’m actually going to flip it over so that the bottom which is nice and flat becomes our top side because that’s going to be the nicest side to put the frosting on if you’re enjoying this video please.

Combination of vanilla cake and chocolate frosting is a classic and the whole family will love and appreciate it and with ingredients like this there is zero guilt attached all right so now I’ve got my cake frosted it’s looking nice and I want to add um a couple of Final Touch.
Es uh first of all I’m going to cut some strawberries to put on top of cakes now strawberries work with a lot of desserts and when they do I usually use them strawberries blueberries any kind of berries because they’re so healthy and they can even decrease the amount of blood sugar spikes that you get from eating things that have sugar in them so.
Berries are super healthy they taste good it’s going to make it look better so it’s a you know it’s a great choice that’s what I’m going to do now is cut some strawberries now even though I’m using berries of course you could omit them all together and just have a classic chocolate frosted vanilla cake which.
Would still be a really good dessert all right so now we’ve got our chocolate frosted vanilla cake all completed topped with strawberries is looking beautiful I can’t wait to try this I don’t eat cake this often but of course I’m going to try this for you.
It’s so simple and it’s on point every time this tastes great without the eggs without the oil without the refined sugar and refined wheat this is a great healthy option that is quick and easy and you’ll absolutely love it I suggest you try this so if you’re new to my channel and you’re not sure how to get the recipe.
