Chef Joeys Vegan Blueberry Coffee Cake Recipes

CHEF JOEY'S BLUEBERRY PUDDING CAKE (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 375'F. Spray a 9 inch square baking dish lightly with oil.
• Stir together the 1/3 cup sugar with the water, lemon juice, and arrowroot flour in a small saucepan, then stir in the berries. Simmer for 3 minutes and stir occasionally. Remove from heat.
• In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl whisk the egg replacer, milk, margarine and vanilla. Then add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
• Spoon the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly on the bottom. Pour the berry mixture evenly over the batter. The berries will sink.
• Bake 25-30 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool on a metal rack before cutting.
• Cook's note: Cake can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then kept, wrapped well in foil, at room temperature.

• TO ASSEMBLE THE PIZZAS:.

CHEF JOEY'S VEGAN RUGELACH

Steps:

• Prepare the pastry by placing the flour in the bowl of a food processor. Give it a pulse to fluff it up. Add the cut up margarine and pulse again.
• Add the cold vegan cream cheese. I use Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese in this.
• Pulse the flour, margarine and cheese mixture until a ball forms and then remove. Form into a disc. Cut in half and wrap each disc in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for one to 24 hours.
• Once the pastry is chilled, preheat your oven to 350'F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Put your jam into a small bowl and stir it to get any lumps out of it.
• Once the oven is heated up, roast your nuts. I did mine at 350 for 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
• Remove the nuts and set aside until cool. Add them along with your lemon zest and sugar into the bowl of a small food chopper and process until the nuts are about 1/3 their original size.
• Set this aside.
• Remove one of your pastry discs from the fridge. Lightly flour your counter top and roll the pastry out to a large circle. Make the dough very thin as it will crisp up much better if you do.
• Spread the jam on the pastry, then sprinkle 1/2 the nut mixture. Cut the rolled out pastry in 4 equal sections, then cut each of the 4 sections into 3 equal sections.
• Roll from the outside in and place with seam side down on your covered cookie sheet.
• Brush with the soy creamer and sprinkle with some sugar.
• Bake for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on these, they can burn easily.
• Cool on a metal cookie rack.
• Repeat with the second batch of cookies.
• You can also sprinkle other sugars on these, icing, or fruit might be nice.
• Bon Appetit.
