Dessert - Vegan black cake by Steluta N. - Recipia

Vegan Brownie with Peach Juice, Jam, and Raisins This year, the feast of Saints Constantine and Helen falls on a fasting day, so a cake without animal-derived ingredients is suitable for this occasion. The brownie with peach juice is made from common ingredients, and the jam and raisins give it flavor and a pleasant texture. It is a simple cake, made in a large tray, which we can dust with powdered sugar after it has cooled. I also prepared it for my grandmother to take to church to be blessed. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Baking time: approximately 40 minutes Servings: the number depends on how the cake is cut Difficulty: easy Recipe type: vegan dessert Occasion: suitable for holidays, fasting days, and family meals Ingredients 2 cups (300 ml each) of peach juice 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of sunflower oil 8 tablespoons of homemade jam 2 teaspoons of baking powder 6 teaspoons of cocoa 200 g of raisins 4 cups of white flour Powdered sugar for decoration Instructions 1. Before starting, preheat the oven. Grease a large baking tray with oil and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. 2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, peach juice, and sunflower oil. Mix until the sugar granules dissolve. It is important that the sugar is well dissolved before adding the dry ingredients. 3. In a separate bowl, mix the white flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture of juice, oil, and sugar. Add a little at a time and mix after each addition to avoid lumps. 4. Once the ingredients are well combined, add the homemade jam. Mix until the batter becomes uniform. 5. Finally, add the raisins and mix well to distribute them evenly in the batter. 6. Pour the batter into the greased and floured tray. Spread it as evenly as possible, then place the tray in the preheated oven. 7. Bake the brownie for about 40 minutes. The original recipe does not specify the oven temperature, so use the usual setting for baking cakes in your oven. 8. After baking, let the cake cool. Only then dust it with powdered sugar, cut it into pieces, and arrange it on a platter. Why I make this recipe often It is a useful recipe when we need a vegan dessert made from simple ingredients. It contains no eggs, milk, or butter, and the quantity is suitable for a large tray. The peach juice adds flavor, the jam complements the taste, and the raisins can be found in almost every slice if mixed well into the batter. The fact that it is dusted only after cooling makes it easy to finish before serving. For a family occasion, it can be cut into smaller pieces and arranged on a platter. Tips and Variations Tips Sugar should be mixed with the juice and oil before adding the flour. This step helps achieve a more homogeneous mixture and reduces the risk of lumps. The dry ingredients should be added gradually, not all at once. Mixing after each batch of flour makes it easier to achieve a uniform batter. The jam should be incorporated before the raisins. This way, the jam distributes well in the batter without needing to overmix after adding the dried fruits. The tray must be greased and floured as indicated in the recipe. After baking, the brownie should be allowed to cool before cutting, as it can be portioned more easily then. Substitutions The recipe uses peach juice, homemade jam, and sunflower oil. If you need to adapt the recipe, substitutions should maintain the same basic idea: a fruit juice for the liquid part and a jam for flavor and consistency. The source does not specify other quantities or variations, so it is not advisable to change the proportions without considering the texture of the batter. Variations For this brownie, you can use the type of jam available at home, as long as you keep the quantity of 8 tablespoons. The final flavor will depend on the jam chosen, but the recipe remains vegan. The raisins should be added in the indicated quantity of 200 g. They can be more evenly distributed if mixed well into the batter before pouring it into the tray. Serving Ideas After cooling, the cake is dusted with powdered sugar and cut into pieces. It can be served on a platter alongside other vegan desserts. For a festive meal, the pieces can be cut smaller so that the brownie is easy to grab and serve. Frequently Asked Questions 1.

Nutritional Values The values below are estimates, as the exact number of servings, the type of jam, the amount of sugar in the peach juice, or the final weight of the cake are not specified. For one piece, if the brownie is cut into approximately 24 servings, the estimate is about 280-300 kcal, approximately 50 g of carbohydrates, 8-10 g of fat, and 2-3 g of protein. The main sources of carbohydrates are flour, sugar, jam, raisins, and peach juice. The fats mainly come from the oil, and the protein content is low, as it is a vegan dessert without eggs and dairy. The values can vary significantly depending on the size of the pieces and the ingredients used. Storage and Reheating The brownie is stored covered at room temperature after it has completely cooled. It can be cut into pieces and placed in a container with a lid to prevent it from drying out. It is not a dessert that requires reheating. It is served cold or at room temperature. If stored for a longer time, it is important to keep it well covered, especially after it has been dusted with sugar.
