Raspberry Nightmare: a Cake that will fascinate You!
As Halloween approaches faster and faster, we are getting closer to the holiday of ghosts and goblins. It’s a unique, mysterious, and somewhat dark period, which stirs up a mix of emotions, both negative and positive.
Thinking about Halloween, I’ve prepared an extraordinary cake – the Raspberry Nightmare. My cake doesn’t look like the traditional shortcrust pastry with jam. The Raspberry Nightmare is a cake shaped like a pumpkin in a Halloween style. I’ve added cinnamon to the cake, which brings a slightly spicy aroma that blends wonderfully with the chilly season. This vegan, shortcrust pastry covered in raspberry jam will surely put anyone in a “spirited mood.”

Preparation
- Cake preparation
- I poured flour into the bowl, added baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon. I gently mixed the dry ingredients with a spoon.
- I added vegetable oil and plant milk to the dry ingredients. First, I mixed everything with a spoon, and then I transferred it to the countertop and kneaded it by hand.
- I rolled out the kneaded dough into a thin disc, about 0.5 cm thick.
- Shaping the pumpkin.
- I greased the outside of a round metal bowl with oil and sprinkled it with breadcrumbs.
- I placed the dough disc over the bowl, and I trimmed off the excess dough with a knife.
- I used the dough scraps to create the base of the cake, and I used the remaining dough for decorating my cake.
- I decorated the cake with dough pieces resembling leaves and cut out pumpkin-shaped eyes and mouth.
- I placed the prepared cake in a preheated oven and baked it for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick came out dry.
- After baking, I removed the cake from the oven and let it cool
- I removed the cake from the bowl and spread raspberry jam on the bottom.
