Random Thoughts, Small Questions, and General Discussion (Summer 2020)

20 Upvotes

Heya vegan bakers, welcome to the monthly megathread! Got something small that doesn't really warrant its own post? Don't feel like sharing the recipe? Found some cool videos? This is the thread to be!

Previous threads: June 2019, July 2019, November 2019.


I'm just going to leave these threads up until they get archived by Reddit. They're nice to have, but not popular enough to rotate out every month or even every season. I also feel that since we started renovating this sub we've managed to find a comfortable middle ground between what all of our subscribbelees expect out of this sub. If my feeling is wrong, please let us know. We're always open for suggestions!

Brownie peanut butter mousse cake

I made this cake for my gfs birthday 🎂 I got the recipe from Banana diaries. The recipe link: https://thebananadiaries.com/vegan-brownie-peanut-butter-mousse-cake-ve/
The original recipe tops the cake with a ganache layer, but I decided against it because it was already really rich. The brownie was so chocolaty and gooey and the mousse light and fluffy. We had it with a cup of coffee and it was the perfect pairing. I would rate it a 7.5/10 the layers are a bit to thick for my liking, I would halve the brownie recipe and add crunchy salted peanut butter to the mousse so that it’s a sweet and salty combo. Nonetheless it was a big hit!!

Chocolate chip cookies

Finally tried Nora's recipe! These turned out super gooey and soft with crispy edges. They did lose their crisp after a few hours and became more of a soft cookie but stayed very moist with perfectly melted chocolate.

Recipe - https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies/

I made them a bit bigger around 55g and baked for 13 minutes. Also used chopped dark chocolate bars instead of chips.

Can olive oil or anything fatty with slight acidity can be used as a butter substitute, specifically in baking?

I am mostly freestyling this desert so it’s likely gonna be subpar at best, but I need a functional butter substitute.

If you eggs, a heat source, multiple different water sources, and random ingredients, you could eventually make a decent meal, but not if you didn’t know which water source was safe.

It‘s cinnamon bun season 🍂

Ohh I just love a cinnamon bun when it‘s starting to get cold and rainy and windy outside, it‘s just the ultimate autumn comfort food.

This was the first time for me trying a new recipe and these turned out so fluffy and melty!! The only thing I wasn’t too happy with was the vegan cream cheese alternative, as it was just a bit overpowering. Will try something different next time.

Also, I saw a pumpkin spiced version online that has pumpkin purée in the dough, so that could be a nice variation to try.

Any tipps on how to get the cream cheese frosting right? I‘ve used an almond based cream cheese here.

Online vegan patisserie class experiences?

i've stumbled upon some online vegan pastry/patisserie classes (Toni Rodriguez, Alessia Luisa, Adrian Wu, etc), and i was curious if anyone has done one of these and what you thought of the experience/the resulting bakes. i'm just interested as a hobby and probably won't have the money to try it myself for a while

Help with vegan egg whites

Post image
13 Upvotes

I bought vegan egg whites (made with precision fermentation) but haven’t been able to whip them to peaks and whenever I mix with water to make the egg white, it doesn’t blend well and ends up very clumpy.

Looking for tips for successful use. I contacted the company and they are very responsive but also asked a ton of questions and it makes me wonder if this product is too finicky.

Pear tart I made over the weekend. Includes the egg whites as part of the topping. Filling and topping are from a Dorie Greenspan recipe.

Pumpkin Pancake (no pie spice)

I am looking for a good recipe for pumpkin pancakes that does not have pumpkin pie spice. I am not a baker but I know enough that recipes like this need to be followed closely. Is it as easy as finding a recipe and omitting the spices?

I spent years avoiding any recipe that involved yeast and I decided at the beginning of the year to step out of my comfort zone and try different recipes that required yeast. This is maybe my fifth attempt at making any type of bread and my first time trying this specific recipe

Orange Cranberry Scones (vegan)

These are tasty and sweet! There is an orange glaze on top. They are good with and without it, but I put it on as this was my first time trying this recipe.

A couple of mistakes: It says a heaping cup of cranberries and I can see I put too many in. Also, I used frozen and I believe it weeps moisture which made them spread too much. Delicate balance using fresh fruit in scones. I would use fresh not frozen cranberries and less of them next time. Another thing I just chucked in all the fresh squeezed orange juice not thinking. So I had to keep adding more sugar. My glaze was not as firm as it should be. I just got excited to have one and started mixing before thinking…lol.

I did refrigerate for 20 minutes before baking. They are flaky and delicious. Still turned out terrific just not as pretty as I am used to.

Here is the recipe:
