Chiara Saitta is well known here in Brighton for her amazing pastries and deserts and we in the Greener Beauty offices, have been known to travel to vegan fairs with a sole intention of visiting her stand and stocking up on yummy treats! And they never disappoint! So it is with great pleasure that I introduce this months guest blog by Chiara. We love seeing the pictures of you creating our monthly recipes so don’t forget to keep tagging us in them this month!

“A fluffy and creamy cake that mixes the two incredible flavours of coffee and walnut. Perfect for a special occasion or for a tea time treat!”
14g baking powder
150g unrefined sugar
200g all purpose flour
1/8 tsp bicarbonate
A pinch of salt
75g chopped walnuts
225ml soy milk
9ml apple vinegar
67ml sunflower oil
1 cup of espresso coffee
300g vegan butter (my preference Naturlì)
400g icing sugar
2 cups of espresso coffee or more if you like
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and grease an 8 inch cake tin.
In a measuring jug mix the soy milk with vinegar and let it rest for 10 minutes.
In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients well.
Add the sunflower oil and the coffee to the milk and whisk together.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix well.
Pour the batter into the cake tin, tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for around 30 – 35 minutes. To check the cake is ready put a skewer in, if it comes out clean the cake is cooked.
In the meantime make the coffee butter cream.
Put the butter in a food processor and whisk at high speed until the consistency is like cream.
Add sugar, coffee and a pinch of salt.
Let it rest in the fridge.
When the cake is cooled cut the cake in half, horizontally.
Wet the middle layers of the cake with a small amount of coffee.
Spread the middle layers with the buttercream and sandwich them together then cover the whole cake with the remaining coffee buttercream.
Leave it in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
Decorate as you wish, I like to transfer the leftover buttercream into a pipping bag with a star nozzle attached and pipe swirls of cream onto the cake, then I add some coffee beans and walnuts.
Once ready it can be served straight away or it can be stored in the fridge for 2/3 days.

With Valentines and Galentines the day before (where we celebrate friendships) these gorgeous pancakes can be made for friends or partners, or why not make them for yourself to celebrate how fabulous you are. I know I will be making these, don’t they look gorgeous. Over to Sophie from Cactus Kitchen Gals for the recipe
Sophie from Cactus Kitchen Gals has been making these gorgeous truffles as part of her advent calendar this year. And once I had smelt, seen and tried one of them I knew I would love to share her secret recipe here. If you have people over for New Years Eve why not make these with some peppermint extract as your post dinner after mint.
