My pupper Taateli is now officially embarking his adventures on instagram! You can follow him at @taatua_laatua 💕

Hiya! I’m Taateli, Taatu by nickname! My name is Finnish and means the fruit of the date palm, and it’s a very cute word, just like ME! I’m a rescuedog from Vysborg and I arrived to my home at the age of six months. My favourite things are my mum, her slippers, and running free (which I’m not allowed to do, ‘cos I don’t like coming back for being reattached 😞). I get anxious around strange people, since who can say what they’ll do next 😳 but my courage grows, day by day — at first I tended to be wary of my mum too, but now I think she’s kinda cool ❤️🐶 My mum thinks it’d be nice to document my growth and adaptation to life, so here we are!

Ingredients: 

Topping

4 tablespoons of peanut butter

8 tablespoons of maple syrup

1 teaspoon of salt 

2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar 

100 grams of flaked almonds

Cake

1,5 dl flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

2 teaspoons of baking soda

1 teaspoon of salt

4 dl of soy milk 

1 dl of sugar

120 grams of pitted dates

1 dl of peanut butter

2 tablespoons of white vinegar 

2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar 

Method:

Heat the oven to 175 °C degrees.

Start making the cake by mixing the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. 

Use a food processor or a blender to bled the soy milk, dates, sugar, peanut butter, vinegar and vanilla sugar. 

Combine the mixture you just blent with the dry ingredients. Grease a baking pan and pour in the dough. I used a pan which had a diameter of 26 cm. Bake the cake in the oven for 20 minutes. 

Take a small bowl and mix together peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, vanilla sugar and almonds. 

Take the cake out of the oven and spread the topping on top of it. Be quick so it is easier to spread the topping. Put the cake back into the oven for about 10 minutes. Take the cake out from the oven and let it cool before eating. 

Ainekset: 

Kuorrute: 

4 ruokalusikallista maapähkinävoita

8 ruokalusikallista vaahterasiirappia

1 teelusikallinen suolaa

2 teelusikallista vaniljasokeria

100 grammaa mantelilastuja

Kakku: 

1,5 dl jauhoja

2 teelusikallista leivinjauhetta

2 teelusikallista ruokasoodaa

1 teelusikallinen suolaa

4dl soijamaitoa

1 dl sokeria

120 grammaa kivettömiä taateleita

1 dl maapähkinävoita

2 ruokalusikallista valkoviinietikkaa

2 teelusikallista vaniljasokeria

Valmistus:

Esilämmitä uuni 175 °C asteeseen. 

Aloita kakun valmistaminen sekoittamalla jauhot, leivinjauhe, ruokasooda ja suola kulhossa.

Käytä monitoimikonetta tai tehosekoitinta sekoittaaksesi soijamaito, taatelit, sokerin, maapähkinävoin, etikan ja vaniljasokerin tasaiseksi tahnaksi. 

Yhdistä tahna kuivien ainesten kanssa ja sekoita. Voitele kakkuvuoka ja kippaa taikina sinne. Minä käytin vuokaa, jonka halkaisija on 26 cm. Paista kakkua uunissa noin 20 minuuttia. 

Sekoita pienessä kulhossa maapähkinävoi, vaahterasiirappi, suola, vaniljasokeri ja mantelit tehdäksesi kuorrutteen.
