Valentine’s ❤️Strawberry Sponge Gateau . The Valentine’s ❤️Strawberry Sponge Gateau . The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Valentine's Day sweets is probably boxes of heart-shaped Valentine's Day chocolates 🍫. . But there's more to this love-filled holiday than just store-bought treats. Sure, the sugary confections make a great Valentine's Day gift 🎁, but when it comes to finishing off your Valentine's Day dinner 🍽, nothing says "I love you❤️" quite like a homemade Valentine's Day dessert🍰. . Ingredients: •115 g flour •1 1/2 tsp baking powder •1/2 teaspoon salt •115 g butter (softened) •1/4 cup sugar (optional) •2 eggs, room temperature •15 g almond milk Filling: •Vegan whipped cream (can be replaced with regular whipped cream) •2 tbsp icing sugar (Adjust to taste) •100 g fresh strawberries •2-3 tbsp. strawberry jam/honey Method: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Prep three round cake tins/baking pans. Grease them with butter and line the pans. Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixing bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the flour and milk. Divide the mixture between the three tins. Bake for 15-20 mins (or wait until it passes the toothpick test). Remove from oven and let cool completely. While the cakes are cooling, make the filling. FILLING: Whip the cream till quite stiff, mix in the icing sugar . Assemble the cake by placing the bottom layer on top of a parchment strip to prevent messiness. Use an offset spatula to spread whipped cream over the bottom layer.

"You’ll never get bored when you try something n "You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s really no limit to what you can do." - Dr.Seuss. . After beginning the year with a Veganjanuary 🌱 challenge, which lasted for months, I continued to experiment in the comfort of my kitchen. Dozens of disaster desserts and many milestones later, I look back at 2021 with fondness. . Amid the matcha 🍵 madness, dessert domes, my humble introduction of sweet and savory Za’atar bread, and a multitude of French 🇫🇷 culinary adventures, our Insta family has crossed the 100k mark. . It feels surreal to connect with so many passionate people in this corner I call my virtual home 🏠. . Old followers and friends will remember that cooking 👩🏻‍🍳was never my thing. It was a riddle I wasn’t interested in solving. Plus, it looked a tad dull from my side of the table when I considered the effort that went into it. . Times have changed, and so have I💁🏻‍♀️. . In the present, I count the hours to the weekend. Having a full-time job means that those are the only days I can experiment in the kitchen. After spending the whole week on a 9 to 6:30 schedule, baking feels therapeutic 🧘🏻‍♀️. It’s not easy to cook, style, and photograph Instagram-worthy desserts. . My husband sees the frenzy side of my cooking ventures that feature multiple test batches😵‍💫, tears, and hours of planning. While you, my dear followers, keep my passion for baking alive🤗. . Your regular comments on every post and special remarks add another layer of sweetness to my creations💞. You inspire me to present new renditions of our favorite classic recipes and incorporate guilt-free ingredients to boost the health quotient. I have grown as a cook (and person) 💪🏼in the last year because I had a loving community 🥰around me. Thank you for brightening my feed with messages and trying my recipes. I feel honored to be part of your cooking journey. . As the year ends, let’s vow to enjoy 2022🥂 with the same enthusiasm and optimism. Happy New Year 🎉! . #newyear #plantbased #vegan #dessert #pastry #homemade #bakingathome #instabake #madefromscratch #foodphotoshoot #foodstylist #foodphotographer #bakerofinstagram #tasty #inspiration #healthyfood
