Ingredients

➕ 2/3 cup almond meal
➕ 3 eggs, whisked (or flax/chia egg alternative)
➕ 3 tbsp coconut sugar
➕ 1/2 tsp vanilla powder or extract
➕ 1/2 tsp cinnamon
➕ 1/2 tsp baking powder
➕ 6 tbsp Vegan Protein Custard (Vanilla Cinnamon)

These Mini Vanilla Custard Cakes are the perfect sweet surprise—light, spongy almond cakes hiding a rich pocket of silky vanilla custard inside. Whether enjoyed warm with a dusting of coconut sugar or packed for a lunchbox treat, they feel like something straight from a bakery, but made right in your kitchen.

Made with Botanika Blends Vegan Protein Custard (Vanilla Cinnamon), they’re just the right balance of indulgence and nourishing ingredients.

How To Make It:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a mini muffin tray.

  2. Prepare the custard: In a saucepan, whisk 6 tbsp of custard powder with 90ml water. Heat gently until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Mix the batter: In a bowl, combine almond meal, whisked eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until smooth.

  4. Spoon & layer: Fill each muffin cavity ¾ full with batter. Add a small dollop of custard in the centre, then top off with remaining batter.

  5. Bake: Place in oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and sponge springs back to the touch.

  6. Cool & serve: Let cool slightly before removing. Dust with a little coconut sugar or enjoy warm with extra custard!

FAQ – Mini Vanilla Custard Cakes

  • Yes! Use flax or chia eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg) for a fully vegan version.

  • You can try oat flour or a gluten-free blend, though texture may be less moist. Almond meal gives that rich, soft crumb.

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temp.

  • Yes—just use a small loaf tin and bake longer (around 25–30 minutes). Add custard in the centre or swirl it through.

  • Definitely! Add a splash of maple syrup, a pinch of nutmeg, or even citrus zest to elevate the flavour.

  • Yes, but freeze without the custard centre for best texture. Defrost and add fresh custard before serving if desired.
