Ingredients for 6 servings:
Cake:
- 250 g gluten free oat flour
- 90g almond flour
- 145g Coconut blossom sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or non-alcoholic vanilla extract
- 320ml unsweetened almond milk
- 80g unsweetened applesauce
“Mascarpone cream:
- 320g Cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour
- 240ml Coconut cream
- 125ml maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or non-alcoholic vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Soaking:
- ½ tsp Chaga powder
- 125 ml hot water
Topping:
- 2 tbsp Carob powder
- ½ tsp Chaga powder
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, mix well the oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla and set aside.
In a second bowl, whisk together the almond milk and applesauce. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients in the 1st bowl and stir until a uniform dough forms.
Pour the dough onto the baking tray (the tray is only max. 2/3 full) and bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack. After cooling, cut the cake into fingers about 4.5 cm long and 1 cm thick.
While the cake is cooling, add all the cream ingredients to a high-speed blender and puree until very smooth. Maybe add some sweetener.
Pour hot water over the chaga powder to soak the cake.
Spread a layer of cake strips on the bottom of a rectangular pan. Lightly drizzle or brush the chaga tea over it. (Note from Astrid: The liquid for drizzling is a bit tight, the tiramisu was a bit too dry for my taste, so I would increase the amount of liquid by at least half.) Spread about half of the cream evenly over the cake strips. Make another layer of cake strips, chaga tea and cream. Cover the pan and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 5 hours, preferably overnight.
Dust lightly with carob and chaga powder before serving.
Bon appetit!
