Oat Flake Cake (Vegan)

To prepare a delicious cocoa and walnut cake, start by placing the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt gradually, stirring gently to avoid burning. Once the margarine has softened, add the sugar and cocoa, stirring continuously to incorporate them well. Then add the honey, an ingredient that will bring extra moisture and flavor to the mixture. Continue to keep the mixture on the heat for about two minutes, until all the ingredients are completely melted and combined, forming a homogeneous paste.

After obtaining a uniform composition, take the saucepan off the heat and add the rum and vanilla essence. These flavors will enhance the taste of the cake, giving it an inviting aroma. If you want a touch of freshness, you can also add grated lemon zest, which will perfectly complement the flavors. The next step is to incorporate the ground walnuts and oats into the mixture. Mix well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

After obtaining a uniform composition, put the saucepan back on the heat, stirring continuously for a minute or two. It is important to be careful, as the mixture tends to stick to the bottom of the saucepan, and burning can ruin the final taste. When ready, take it off the heat and prepare a glass dish that you have previously greased with margarine to prevent sticking. Carefully pour the mixture into the dish, ensuring it spreads evenly.

After spreading the mixture in the dish, you can decide how you want to decorate it. The options are varied, but I recommend using crushed caramel sugar and coconut flakes, which add not only an attractive appearance but also a crunchy texture and a sweet taste. Let the cake cool to room temperature, then you can cut it into squares and serve it. This cake is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a get-together with friends or a family party. It is truly delicious and will surely be appreciated by everyone who tastes it. Yum, yum, yum!
