J’ai remplacé le fromage râpé par du fromage végétal râpé et l’oeuf pour dorer par du lait d’amandes.
Ensuite, le gâteau au quinoa, aux amandes et à l'orange : https://www.latendresseencuisine.com/ gateau-aux-quinoa-amandes-et-oranges/
J’ai remplacé les oeufs par 2 bananes, le miel par du sirop d’érable.

Step 1
Dough : Put the flour in a bowl, dig a well in the middle and add all the ingredients in. Mix with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are well mixed together.

Putting together : Separate the dough in two pieces. Spread the first piece in a rectangle shape on an oiled oven tray, putting the dough up on the edges. Cover with the stuffing and sprinkle with some grated vegan cheese.
Step 9
Spread the second piece of dough in a rectangle shape on your countertop and cover the stuffing, making sure it’s trapped inside. Make a hole in the middle and put a chimney in to help the hot air to get out.

Wash the oranges (to avoid eating pesticides, that’s always good) and take some zests.

Add the quinoa to the mix and mix with a spatula. Pour the whole mix in an oven plate with margarine on the sides then put it in the oven for 50 minutes. The top of the cake should be well golden.

Peel the oranges and cut them in slices. When the cake has cooled down, sauté the oranges in a pan with maple syrup. Let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 7
Put them on top of the cake and let the juice reduce until it’s thick then pour it on the fruits. Decorate with the pruned almonds and mint leaves.
