Vegan Pineapple upside down cake – bake off challenge

September 29, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Bakers (am I a baker? I guess if I bake… I’m a baker), on your marks, get set…BAKE ! Today’s recipe is last week’s technical challenge of the Great British Bake off: the pineapple upside down cake. But I’m making it vegan ! and because it’s funnier&better when there is a video, here you go! From now on, till the end of the season, I will try to make some vegan bake off videos: filming the technical challenges!

Ingredients for this vegan bake off challenge

The ingredients are pretty straightforward, nothing too mysterious about them. I kinda followed intution & experience to make this cake, and measurements were a bit… well, improvised so bear with me.

  • Canned pineapple : save that juice for later!
  • Cherries (canned/jar) : i couldn’t find the actual cherries they use in the show, and this was the closest thing to them.
  • Milk (soy): but you can totally use rice, almond, oat milk, …
  • Flour
  • Brown sugar
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • White vinegar
  • Vegan butter
  • Olive oil

To make this I kinda followed what they did in the show, so I was truly hoping the result would be good & edible (and it was). I was very stressed specially during the “flipping” the cake moments, but in the end, it all turned out to be great. Plus it tastes amazingly.

The cake ended up being thicker than I would have expected, but it was so good, I don’t even mind (this is why I don’t actually participate in the great british bake off, I’m defo not experienced enough as a baker).

Other baking recipes

Previous baking experiences include :

  • Homemade tarte tatin (i do love “upside down cakes”)
  • Homemade vegan pretzels (this was kinda with similar vibes as to this recipe: trying to make things vegan and somewhat managed to succeed!)
  • Cinnamon apple bread bake (i love apples)

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

✨ January wrap up ✨ Some very good books but s ✨ January wrap up ✨
Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller. 
The worst was house of accidents, it could have been SO GOOD, yet it was...so bad.

How many did you read this month? And which one was your favourite?

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
