Fava Bean Cake Mix: gluten-free baking with character

With the Fava Bean Cake Mix, you can easily bake a rich, delicious cake with a surprising base. The fava bean flour comes from home-grown crops and gives the batter its own distinctive character. The mix is 100% gluten-free, making it a practical choice for a gluten-free kitchen. The cake can also be prepared vegan: simply replace the eggs with a plant-based egg substitute of your choice.

The texture is pleasantly firm yet light, with a mild, distinctive flavour that pairs beautifully with coffee or tea. Serve the cake in generous slices during a coffee break, take a piece with you as a snack or place it on the table when there is something delicious to share. The fava bean flour base creates a cake that is just a little different from a classic baking mix.

Ingredients to add

• Rapeseed oil
• Eggs

For a vegan preparation, use a plant-based egg substitute of your choice. This allows you to adapt the cake to your preferred baking style.

Preparation

Beat the eggs as light and airy as possible. Place the Fava Bean Cake Mix in a bowl, add the rapeseed oil and mix into a smooth batter. Gently fold the batter into the beaten eggs. Using a plant-based egg substitute? Follow the preparation instructions for the product you choose.

Spoon the batter into a 1.5-litre tin that has not been greased but has been dusted with flour. Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes in a preheated oven at 170°C. Allow the cake to cool briefly after baking before slicing it, giving the crumb time to set nicely.

Storage and serving

Store the unopened mix in a dry, cool place and keep it tightly sealed. A baked cake stays at its best when stored airtight. Slice it just before serving and add a personal touch with fresh fruit, icing sugar or a plant-based topping.
