The tastiest vegan Bounty cake on earth

All vegans and non-vegans gather, it's time to bake a cake. Take some coconut, some chocolate and you get a treat to drool over. Our partners in food crime at FavorFlav will explain how to do it.

The book ‘Easy Vegan’ is written by Sanne van Rooij from Living The Green Life. It is filled with the tastiest vegan recipes, and you definitely want to make this cake. It needs to set in the fridge overnight, but at least you have something to look forward to.

Sanne van Rooij about this recipe: ‘You can make the tastiest things from chocolate and coconut . For example, think of a Bounty smoothie, Bounty bars or a Bounty cake. The latter is one of my showpieces. This cake is so delicious that everyone who eats it suddenly becomes a bit enthusiastic about plant-based food. Because hey, if this is vegan, then the rest will probably be fine too! If you have friends or family over and really want to serve them something special, then this Bounty cake is an option.’

Preparation: put the dates, walnuts and 75 grams of coconut flakes in your food processor and mix until everything sticks together. Press this into the baking tin and place in the fridge.

Boil the cashews for 10 minutes until they are soft and put them, along with 200 milliliters of coconut milk, coconut oil, the remaining 50 grams of coconut flakes and maple syrup in the food processor. Blend everything finely. Spoon this onto the bottom of the coconut cake and put it back in the fridge.

Pour the remaining 200 milliliters of coconut milk into a saucepan and heat. Break the chocolate pieces and stir them into the coconut milk. Stir until they are completely melted. Pour over the coconut layer of the Bounty cake and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
