Pouding chomeur.

One of my favorite desserts, a classic Québécois cake called Pouding Chomeur which translates to “Unemployment pudding” (how appropriate!). It’s basically a white cake with a gooey delicious brown sugar sauce. Here’s the recipe that I veganized from my late mother in law’s recipe. 


Vegan Pouding Chomeur


Sauce:

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup water

1 TB vegan margarine (I used Earth Balance)


Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Set aside.


Cake:

1 TB vegan margarine

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

3/4 cup soymilk (or other non dairy milk)


With a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream margarine and sugar together. Add vanilla and soymilk. Mix flour, baking powder together in a separate bowl. Add to the rest of the mixture and mix until combined. Pour batter into a greased medium sized glass baking dish. Pour the sauce that you set aside evenly over the top of the batter. It will be watery, don't worry. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until top is browned. As it bakes, the cake will rise to the top and the sauce will be underneath.

  2. This was really good! I threw in a few chopped apples in the bottom of the dish and it turned out great. This is up there with wacky cake for easy vegan desserts!
