Directions

For a person who does not eat dairy or gluten, I decided to prepare something new and bold for my holiday 🍰. I wanted not just a cake, but a healthy and special cake. For months, the idea of making a cake for my birthday with blue spirulina kept coming to my mind. This year for my birthday I am on a blue wave. I use green spirulina every day and we love it at home. I managed to obtain the ingredients and with some experiments in the kitchen, I created my first blue vegan cake. This type of spirulina is a bit hard to find but you can always order online. It tastes quite different from green spirulina and is much more pleasant and easy to use. Blue spirulina is very healthy. It strengthens the immune system, has strong antioxidant properties, is rich in B vitamins, aids digestion, and boosts metabolism. In short – blue healthy magic! The cake is relatively easy to prepare. The idea is to prepare something new and special, which means to get out of your comfort zone and experiment. I like to prepare the layers from the day before, and on the next day, I prepare and assemble the cake. You can use any gluten-free flour, as well as replace maple syrup with honey or agave.

The hardest part is finding the right canned coconut cream.

🔵 The packaging must say coconut cream. Otherwise, the product is quite liquid and does not have a consistency like cream.

🔵 The second very important step that you must follow is to put the coconut cream in the fridge from the night before. It needs to tighten so that you can separate the water the next day.

6 Done	Melt the coconut oil in a water bath.
7 Done	In a bowl, mix the wet ingredients and stir well.
8 Done	Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir until homogeneous.
9 Done	Grease a form with removable bottom. I used a diameter of 18 cm.
10 Done	Pour the mixture into the form.
11 Done	Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C degrees for 30-40 minutes. It depends on how strong your oven is. Check periodically with a toothpick.
12 Done	Allow the cake layer to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Once removed, allow to cool completely.
13 Done	Carefully cut it into two halves.
14 Done	Preparation of blueberries jam Wash the blueberries. You can safely use frozen ones.
15 Done	Put the jam ingredients in a small saucepan over high heat. Once it boils, reduce to medium heat.
16 Done	Mash the blueberries while the mixture boils.
17 Done	Allow to cool while you prepare the rest of the cake.

21 Done	Spread the blue cream on top of the cake layer.
22 Done	Wash and cut the strawberries into thin strips. Arrange them on the blue cream.
23 Done	Carefully place the second layer on top.
24 Done	Finally, spread the remaining white coconut cream. Smooth it if you wish.
25 Done	You can decorate the cake as you wish. I used blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. I also poured blueberry jam over it. If it has shrunk, you can dilute it with water so that it can run down the cake.
26 Done	Enjoy it! 🎈
