¡Tan hùmeda que no creeràs que es Vegana! [Spn/Eng]

Excellent start to the weekend, #PlantPower (Vegan) community! A time to give thanks for the bounty of nature, all it provides us when we cultivate the land and receive delicious vegetables for a healthy, protein-rich diet. Fresh, seasonal vegetables that we can take advantage of to save money, always having a table full of food in different forms.

In 2021, when I was starting out in the world of recipes, I made a pumpkin cake with a twist on the ones we all know: instead of puree, I used grated pumpkin Reference post here. At that time, it wasn't vegan at all; in those early days, it was difficult for me to adapt my mind to vegan ingredients. Later, I understood that even without being completely vegan, I occasionally made vegan meals. Of course, I understood this step by step.

This time, I bring you a pumpkin cake (squash, as it is known in other areas, with a modification of ingredients; I first made it as a practice, and since the result was favorable, today I share it with you).

Para esta receta se utilizó:

-2 tazas de harina trigo leudante
-2 tazas de auyama rayada (calabaza)
-2 huevos de lino (huevo de lino se le llama al usar la linaza en sustitución de huevos de aves, para 2 huevos se toman dos cucharadas de linaza en polvo, se une a cuatro cucharadas de agua para hidratar la linaza)
-1 taza de leche de avena
-1/4 de aceite vegetal
-3/4 de azúcar morena
-1 cucharadita de polvo de hornear
-1 cucharadita de canela en polvo
-1 cucharadita de vainilla

For this recipe, I used:

• 2 cups self-rising wheat flour
• 2 cups grated pumpkin (squash)
• 2 flax eggs (flax eggs are made by using flaxseed as a substitute for bird eggs; for 2 eggs, take two tablespoons of ground flaxseed and mix it with four tablespoons of water to hydrate the flaxseed)
• 1 cup oat milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

En un envase de su preferencia une el azúcar y el aceite. Luego de batir por un aproximado de 3 a 5 minutos se le agrega a esta mezcla iniciada el huevo de lino. (Para batir puede utilizar batidora o su paleta de preferencia, en esta preparación se usó una paleta de madera).

In a bowl, combine the sugar and oil. After beating for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, add the flax egg mixture. (To beat, you can use a mixer or your preferred paddle; in this preparation, a wooden paddle was used).

A esta mezcla se le incorpora la auyama rayada (calabaza).

The grated pumpkin is then added to this mixture.

Luego, la leche de avena se le incorpora la vainilla antes de colocar en los ingredientes ya mezclados.

Next, the vanilla is added to the oat milk before being incorporated into the other ingredients.

Procedemos a unir la harina de trigo, el polvo de hornear y la canela, antes de llevar a unirlas con los anteriores, se cierne antes de incorporarlo a la mezcla.

Next, we combine the wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Before adding them to the previous mixture, sift the dry ingredients.

Ya todos los ingredientes incorporados, se mezcla paso a paso hasta que la harina de trigo quede bien mezclada. Luego, se lleva a un molde de su preferencia, en este caso usé uno redondo de 16 centímetros de diámetro. Se llevó al horno por espacio de una hora, hay que estar atento al pasar este tiempo o también depende del horno o molde que se utilice. Siempre hago la observación que cada quien conoce su horno. El palillo de madera nos indica que está totalmente cocida.

Once all the ingredients are incorporated, mix step by step until the wheat flour is well mixed. Then, pour the batter into your preferred pan; in this case, I used a 16-centimeter diameter round pan. Bake for one hour. Keep an eye on it after this time, as baking time may vary depending on your oven and pan. I always emphasize that everyone knows their own oven. A wooden toothpick indicates that it is fully cooked.
