vegan <fruit> cake

strawberry cake

1 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp egg replacement (used banana dregs, see below, flax/chia egg prob would also work)
1/2 c sugar (90g -> could be less, maybe 80g, if using a berry reduction?)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract or paste

1/2 c flour (60 g)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (-> maybe reduce to 1/4 tsp and/or add cardamom... or replace entirely w/ cardamom?)
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

1 c diced strawberries (120g fresh -> 60g fresh chopped strawberries and 60g reduction?)
1/4 c diced walnuts

Combine oil, ~egg, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl.
In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, then add to wet.   Add strawberries and nuts. Batter should be thick.
Pour into greased pan(s).
Bake at 350 deg. for 25-30 min, or until cake has risen and browned and passes the toothpick test.

**********
Banana dregs:

heat milk to boiling
add large slices of banana and let steep overnight
strain

now you have banana-flavored milk and banana dregs <3

Made today with amendments:

• 2+ Tbsp chia gel
• 80 g coconut sugar
• splash of coconut/almond creamer (chia gel was too thick and required liquid compensation)
• 40 g AP / 20 g whole wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp cardamom
• 100 g strawberries, cooked and reduced + 60 g fresh strawberries (total 120g)
• 20 g raw walnuts, finely chopped
