Apple Pudding Cake: Apfel-Puddingkuche
If you are looking for a yummy German dessert that is pretty easy to make, this Apple Pudding Cake should take the cake (hahaha). Some of the really delicious German desserts require the 'from scratch' use of baker's yeast, and for many of us who grew up in the Time of the Instant Cake Mix, we would likely do a pass on that. Most German desserts are heavy on cream, butter and eggs, and some are not so "vegan-izable"-- or if they are, they are not really that tasty. But this lovely comforting apple pudding cake is easy to make and doesn't require any ingredients that upset vegans.
This recipe for Apfel-Puddingkuchen is part of the collection for the "Ve Eat" German Favourite Recipes for the May 23, 2019 Alberni Supper Club meeting. You can find out more about the Supper Club and the other recipes at the bottom of the recipe below.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 Apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar (I used Coconut Sugar which has a mild caramel flavour)
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Non-dairy Milk
- 1 tsp. Vanilla or Almond Extract
- 2-3 tsp. Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil (optional-- I left this out)
- 2 Cups Boiling Water
METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius)
- In a deep 9" x 9" pan, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
- Add the apple slices and mix until coated with the flour mixture.
- Add the milk that has been mixed with the vanilla or almond extract.
- Stir until everything is moistened. Smooth the top. Dot the butter on top.
- Put pan on rack in oven and carefully pour in 2 cups of boiling water. DO NOT STIR. (Put a baking sheet under the pan. Sometimes it bubbles over when it is baking.)
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top if desired, or omit.
- Top with Coconut (non-dairy) yogurt or Almond Sour Cream
The Alberni Vegetarian Supper Club is a culinary treat and then some. Beginners or "old hands" at cooking are delighted with the international and local recipes.
Be blessed, know and enjoy your foods, boost your life!

100 Ways to Thicken Homemade Vegan Soup
Discover 100 vegan ways to thicken watery soups without flour, plus tips to adjust flavors, reduce liquid, and achieve perfect consistency! Perhaps you have followed a delicious-looking recipe for homemade soup and found, after the prescribed cooking time and more, that the soup is still very watery. While you were not necessarily in quest of a cream soup, did you want something more... substantial? Well, with a better ratio of chunkiness to liquids? And if you are against using wheat flour, whatever the reason might be, what can you do? If you have potatoes or carrots in your soup, you can separate them, cooked soft, and blend them up to return to the soup-- that will help thicken. Same with other starchy vegetables-- blend up at least a portion of the cooked soup and you will see the results you are looking for. Cooking down the soup over a longer period of time-- say, an hour or so on simmer-- will also reduce the fluid levels. Keep an eye on the soup so that the pan doe...
Blueberry-Hibiscus Latte
A blueberry hibiscus latte, sweetened with maple syrup, offers a creamy, caffeine-free burst of summer. Perfect for cozy chats or solo sips! Here is another tasty hot drink that doesn't keep you awake at night with a caffeine surge. The blueberry flavor reminds me of my BFF Linda because we went through a period of drinking blueberry tea when we met for our little world-fixing chats back in the day! I actually have quite a few blueberries in my freezer, so this is something I can enjoy often. I guess you could also make this latte using both hibiscus and blueberry tea, but I think most blueberry tea powders have something in them to amp up the flavor and you are probably better off using something more natural. But you get to decide! Ingredients: (about 2 servings) *1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or 2 tablespoons dried blueberries 💚 *1 tablespoon hibiscus tea or dried hibiscus flowers 💚 *1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (to taste) *1/2 cup coconut or almond milk (for ...
