Cook Time1 minute
Total Time1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 50 g 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Aquafaba of 1 Glass chickpeas or white beans
  • 120 gr 3/4 cup raw cane sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 orange
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 tsp gingerbread spice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 250 gr 2 cups spelt flour
  • 150 gr 1 ¼ cup nuts (almonds, hazelnuts or both)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and put a baking paper inside a loaf pan
  • Put the aquafaba in a bowl or food processor and whip until creamy
  • Slowly stir in powdered sugar, sugar and orange juice
  • Mix flour, baking powder and all spices and add them to the whipped mass along with the nuts (it’s ok if the mass collapses a little)
  • Put it into the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes
  • Let it cool off and wrap it into a damp towel over night
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) the next day
  • Cut the „cake“ into thin slices (approx. 0.2“) by using either a sharp knife or a bread slicer, place them on a baking paper and bake them again for 7-8 minutes (keep an eye on them, they should only turn golden, not brown)
