Ingredients

-½ cup tamari

– ½ cup water

– ⅓cup sugar

– 1 tbsp maple syrup

– ½tsp minced garlic

– ½tsp minced ginger

– 1tbsp cornstarch
– 2tbsp water

Methods

1. Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add in soy sauce, water, & maple. Start with 1/4 cup tamari & adjust as you go along. Leave to simmer over medium-high heat until it starts to boil. Add in the garlic & ginger. Keep mixing until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Taste the sauce & add more of the tamari, if needed. You can also add more maple & adjust depending on your desired sweetness.

3. If you’d like to use this sauce as a glaze, prepare the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch & water. While mixing, pour the mixture into the teriyaki sauce and mix until it thickens. Once it thickens, taste the sauce, adjusting the seasonings accordingly. Turn off the heat. It’ll continue to thicken as it cools.

4. Before storing in a jar/bottle/container let cool completely. Enjoy your teriyaki sauce/glaze sauce by pairing it with your favourite foods, like a sauce for noodles, fried rice, or as a delicious marinade—it’s totally up to you!

Vegan Salted Caramel

– ½ cup coconut cream (made from WP coconut milk powder and water)

– 3 tablespoons coconut sugar

– 1 tablespoon maple syrup

– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

– ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Banana Bread

– 2 tablespoons ground flax

– 6 tablespoons warm water

– 1½ cups mashed ripe banana (the only ingredient needed that you cant get from WP 😝)

– ⅓ cup melted coconut oil

– ¾ cup rapadura sugar

– 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

– 2 cups spelt flour

– Desert flaked salt (for garnish)

Instructions

Vegan Salted Caramel

Dissolve sugar: Warm coconut cream, sugar, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, until bubbles appear and sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the sides of the pot.

Cool: Remove from heat. Whisk in vanilla and salt. Transfer mixture to a covered container. Refrigerate until set, ideally overnight.

Banana Bread Preheat:

Preheat the oven to 165°C.

Whisk batter: In a large bowl, whisk together ground flax and warm water until smooth. Whisk in banana, coconut oil, rapadura sugar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

Add flour: Gently stir in flour, just until the last streak of flour is incorporated (use as few strokes as possible to avoid overmixing).

Bake: Transfer batter to a lined 9 x 5-inch loaf pan (we recommend our reusable Agreena Baking Sheets). Bake until a toothpick, inserted into the loaf, comes out clean (about 60 minutes). Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Assemble: Top the cooled loaf with the salted caramel, then garnish with flaky salt.

An earl grey tea cake great for special visitors.

Ingredients:

Oil cooking spray

250g butter, softened

250g caster or superfine sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

5 eggs, at room temperature (or 3 duck eggs)

250g self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey tea, crushed until fine

1/4 cup milk

Earl Grey Syrup:

1 cup water

1tsp Earl Grey tea

1 cup caster or superfine sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

To decorate:

450ml cream

3 tsp caster sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla powder

Dried edible flowers to decorate

Instructions:

Step 1- Preheat the oven to 160C. Line the base of two 20cm/8inch round tins & spray the base & sides well with nonstick spray. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the butter & sugar together for 3 minutes until light & fluffy. Add the vanilla & then the eggs one at a time, whisking until combined. Then remove from the mixer & sift in the self-raising flour & baking powder from a height. Fold these in with the Earl Grey tea leaves using the milk to keep the batter moist.

Step 2- Divide the batter into the two tins & smooth over using an angled spatula or a dough scraper. Place in the oven gently & don’t slam the door. Victoria sponges are known for being a little bit temperamental & do not open the door while it is baking or turn on the light. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely in the tin. You can make these a day ahead of time, just wrap them once they’ve completely cooled.

Step 3- Meanwhile, while the cakes are baking, make the syrup. Boil the water, tea & sugar together until it becomes a syrup. Add vanilla & cool completely.

Step 4- To assemble the cake, whip the cream, vanilla & sugar until you get soft peaks. Take one cake & place it on a serving plate. Poke holes in the cake & drizzle some of the Earl Grey syrup into this. How much depends on you (I just used a few tablespoons per cake layer). Then place half of the whipped cream on the bottom layer. Place the second layer on top repeating the process with the holes & syrup and then spoon on the remaining cream. Top with flowers.

This cake can keep for a day or two in the fridge.
