Gingerbread Cranberry Dream Cake

Crust:⠀

Gingerbread dough (Used my GF & V gingerbread dough from my Dreamy Season ebook but any gingerbread dough will do)⠀

Filling:

1 ½ cup cashew nuts, soaked for 30 mins & rinsed⠀
1 cup full fat coconut milk⠀
5 tbsp raw organic honey or maple syrup⠀
1 tsp vanilla extract⠀
½ cup mild flavor coconut oil, melted⠀

On top:

Tin: 20 cm / 8 inches⠀

Crust:⠀
Crease a cake tin with coconut oil. Place a piece of parchment paper onto the bottom of the tin and also slices on the sides. Roll the gingerbread dough into a thin round plate and place it into a tin. Press and mold the sides gently so that the sides are about the same height. Bake for about 10 mins in 175C /350F. Leave a bit soft.⠀

Filling:⠀
Place all the ingredients, except cranberries in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour about 1⁄3 of the mixture into the cake tin. Place cranberries into the blender. Blend with the remaining mixture. Spoon the pink filling on top of the white layer. Freeze for 2 hours or until the cake is totally solid. Take out of the freezer and decorate.

Vanelja’s Gingerbread Pancakes:

Makes about 7 small pancakes

1 ripe banana
½ cup / 1,5 dl oat milk (or for example almond milk)
½ cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1,5 tsp gingerbread spice mix
1 tsp vanilla extract

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Let the dough thicken for about 20 minutes. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Drop about 2 spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan and cook until the surface looks almost dry. That should take about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until nicely browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter. If the pancakes remain too pale, lift the heat up a bit or if they get too brown, lower the heat.
