Moreish Vegan Rhubarb Caramel White Chocolate Cake with Cardamom

Print Recipe

The combination of fresh, seasonal rhubarb, cardamom, and caramel-infused white chocolate truly is heavenly. This is the kind of cake you cake both make to impress someone who’s over for dinner or while drinking some coffee with close friends. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g / 3,5 oz oat flour
  • 90g / 3,2 oz buckwheat flour
  • 1,5 tbsp milled flax or chia seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cardamom (can be omitted)
  • 2,25 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • A hearty pinch of salt
  • 300ml / 1 cup plus 3 tbsp milk of choice
  • 60g / 2,1 oz coconut sugar or other granulated sweetener
  • 100g / 3,5 oz pitted dates (I peeled mine for looks)
  • 60g / 2,1 oz nut butter of choice
  • 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 300g / 10,6 oz worth of 1 cm / 1/2 inch thick slices of rhubarb
  • 100g / 3,5 oz roughly chopped white chocolate (I used this Caramel Chocolate from Loving Earth)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC / 300ºF, prepare and grease a baking pan. My pan had a diameter of 18cm / 7 inches which yielded a VERY thick and nice cake. If you use a bigger pan you can bake the cake at 160ºC / 320ºF instead.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, buckwheat flour, milled flax seeds, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a blender, blend the milk, sugar, dates, nut butter, vinegar, and vanilla smooth.
  4. Add the wet to the dry and mix until just combined. The batter should thicken within the matter of a couples of minutes.
  5. Fold in half the sliced rhubarb and 1/3 of the white chocolate. Transfer to the cake pan, top with the remaining rhubarb and white chocolate slightly pressing it into the batter, and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick runs clean. My cake was super thick, hence, the super long baking time. If your cake is thinner, bake it for 25-35 minutes.

Notes

*You can probably use another kind of vinegar, but since I’ve not tried any other myself I can not promise the same results.
