White, Red and Brown Cake (Vegan)

To prepare a delicious cake with thin layers and savory filling, we will start by making the dough. In a large bowl, we combine 500 g of flour with 250 g of margarine or butter at room temperature. We knead carefully until we obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then, we add 200 g of powdered sugar, 2 eggs, and a pinch of salt. We continue to knead the dough until it becomes elastic and no longer sticks to our hands. We divide the dough into three equal parts and form balls, which we cover with plastic wrap. We let them chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so they firm up a bit and are easier to roll out.

In the meantime, we take care of the filling. In a bowl, we put 300 g of plum jam, which will add a sweet-sour note to our cake, and add 100 g of ground walnuts. We mix the two ingredients well, ensuring that the walnuts blend evenly into the jam. This mixture will provide a crunchy texture and a rich taste to the cake.

After the dough has cooled, we take it out of the refrigerator and start rolling each piece on a floured surface until we obtain thin layers. We preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare the tray by greasing it with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking. We place the layers on the back of the tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they become slightly golden. After baking, we let the layers cool completely.

To finish the cake, we melt 200 g of dark vegan chocolate in the microwave or in a bain-marie. We add 3-4 tablespoons of oil to obtain a more fluid and easier-to-cut composition. Meanwhile, we prepare a layer of filling by spreading the mixture of jam and walnuts evenly between the two baked layers of dough. Then, we cover everything with the third layer and pour the melted chocolate on top, ensuring it spreads evenly.

We let the cake cool at room temperature, and then we put it in the refrigerator for the chocolate to set. When we are ready to serve, we cut the cake into squares or diamonds, being careful not to disturb the chocolate. This cake will be a real delight, with tender layers and a rich filling, perfect for any occasion or simply to indulge ourselves. Bon appétit!
