Autumn Cake with Walnuts, Coffee, and Chocolate

I choose to cook to keep family traditions alive and pass them on to my children, hoping they will remember them fondly when they grow up! ❤️
When I met my husband and his family years ago, I fell in love with a cake his mother always made, featuring walnuts, chocolate, and coffee (I love all three of these ingredients!)... Since I first tasted it, I decided to make it every year during the first walnut harvest: this is my entirely plant-based version, soft, perfectly moist, and delicious enough to make you swoon! 😍

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the dry ingredients (spelt flour, raw cane sugar, baking powder) in a bowl and mix with a whisk to distribute evenly.
- 2
Add the roughly chopped walnut pieces and dark chocolate chips, and mix again.
- 3
Now add the melted and cooled plant-based butter, room temperature espresso coffee, and unsweetened plant-based milk (or water), stirring with a spatula just until the liquid ingredients are incorporated and no lumps remain.
- 4
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch springform pan and decorate the top with whole walnut halves.
- 5
COOKING METHOD 1: Place in an air fryer and bake at 300°F for 50 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick 5-10 minutes before the end.
- 6
COOKING METHOD 2: Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (static) for 50 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick 5-10 minutes before the end.
- 7
Remove and let cool completely in the pan, then remove from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
- 8
NOTE: I wanted a nice tall cake, so I deliberately chose a smaller pan. If you prefer a shorter cake, use a 9-10 inch pan and slightly reduce the baking time (about 5-10 minutes), always doing the toothpick test a few minutes before the end.

I baked this for my son and a friend both of them loved it so much. I felt happy even if it's not coated with the cream. The texture and the taste is so different that you really need to bake it to feel what I felt. Smitha Ancy Cherian -

American Coffee Cake American Coffee Cake
This is a cake that a friend made for me when I lived in a dormitory. She used Bisquick, so I experimented using Japanese pancake mix to achieve a similar taste.You can make a thicker topping by increasing the amounts of butter and sugar. I only used a small amount for the cake in the photo, so the topping is quite light. Feel free to adjust the amounts to your taste. Recipe by Tsukushigumi cookpad.japan -

I love love LOVE yeast breads but I suck at baking them for the most part. But this recipe, which is a redo of one I found 15 years ago, is a yeast bread, but a quick, instant gratification yeast bread. I love my crumbles and I love soft, fluffy and a little bit chewy sweet cakes. I’ve made this a few different ways. This dough has endless possibilities. I’ll publish another soon.
