Description
Decadent Vegan Flancocho: A Guilt-Free Delight for Everyone
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Raw cane sugar (Can use regular granulated sugar.)
- 1 can Organic unsweetened coconut milk (Substitute with other plant-based milks if needed.)
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed coconut milk (Opt for store-bought or homemade versions.)
- 2 tablespoons Agar agar powder (Ensure it’s fresh for proper setting.)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (Can swap with nutmeg for a different profile.)
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (Use vanilla bean paste as an alternative.)
- a pinch Salt (Choice between sea salt or kosher salt.)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend.)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (Carob powder is a potential substitute.)
- 1/4 cup Avocado oil (Can replace with melted coconut oil.)
- 1 cup Water (Flavored liquids like coffee can be used.)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (Could swap with lime juice if desired.)
Instructions
- Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the flancocho releases easily after baking.
- In a medium nonstick pot, melt the raw cane sugar over medium heat, stirring until it becomes golden brown caramel. Pour into the Bundt pan and let cool.
- Whisk together the organic coconut milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, agar agar powder, ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently until gently boiling, then pour over cooled caramel. Chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, sugar, avocado oil, water, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate cake batter over the chilled flan layer in the Bundt pan. Place in a larger baking dish filled with water. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the flancocho cool at room temperature for about 40 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
