becel — Blog — Food Bandits

Today we’ve finally arrived at the fourth part of our Chemistry of Baking series. We always say “everything is chemical” (you, me, your neighbour, and literally everything around you) and you can see this most clearly during baking. You have your basic ingredients and you change their chemical properties with heat in the oven to create a wonderful cake. It’s the ultimate definition of what chemistry is. Today, we’ll be discussing the role of fat in the baking process. What is it’s function?

Gluten and dairy free bundt cake

To be completely honest with you, I absolutely love kitsch. More so than I love white and minimalism. But even in my own home I go for light colours, only to then ask myself why I ever thought that was a good idea with three pets running around the house and me being the queen of getting chocolate stains absolutely everywhere. But, yes, I usually go for light colours and would describe the style of Food Bandits as “cake on marble”. But now the time has finally come for me to finally use my one true love: edible glitter. If there is ever going to be a recipe that somehow requires tiger print in any way, I will have finally completed my life goal on this blog. For the holidays we have created this wonderfully soft chocolate Bundt cake, complete with chocolate sauce. And now that the holidays are finally here, I think everyone can use a little bit of glitter or fireworks in their life.

Vegan and gf Cinnamon buns

Aside from apple pie, the most autumn-y thing to bake are cinnamon buns. Lots of cinnamon and cardamom, wrapped in a delicious pastry that’s both soft and sweet. We created this simple version of it that is both vegan and gluten free! And yes, that’s definitely worth an applause, because that combination is rare. And on top of that, it also uses a great margarine that is readily available in your local supermarket.

Make your own margarine

Our first ever IG tv is now online! We have been wanting to make videos like this for a while, but every time we didn’t like what we came up with, until we recently looked back at some of our earliest pictures and were actually pleasantly surprised with how much we liked our “eh, it’ll do” pictures. So inspired by that we have a video and recipe for your own margarine without too much hassle

Gooey vegan and gf chocolate cake

Imagine having a brownie, a chocolate cake, and a Schwartzwälder kirsch torte in one. And now imagine this also being incredibly easy to make, while also being gluten free and completely plantbased! No worrying about finding all the ingredients at your local supermarket. Doesn’t that deserve its own celebratory statue or at the very least its own song, written and performed for Food Bandits?
