This nut chocolate jam cake tastes incredibly moist, soft and fluffy. It combines many different flavors – chocolate, nuts, jam. In addition, the pound cake is vegan and very fast to make. You can find a detailed vegan nut chocolate jam loaf cake recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions here at the very bottom.
Versatile and varied
The vegan nut chocolate jam cake is very versatile in taste. Thanks to hazelnuts, it tastes nutty. Cocoa powder and chocolate give it a chocolaty taste. Thanks to jam, it has a slightly fruity note.
In addition, you can change the recipe as you like, as far as the flavors are concerned.
For example, if you use a sour jam, your pound cake will have a sour taste.
Instead of hazelnuts, you can use other nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts or almonds, just like in my recipe for vegan nut cake. The important thing is that the nuts are roasted, so that they develop all their flavor.
You can also adjust the amount of chopped chocolate you add to the batter to taste. If you want to make the loaf cake without chocolate flavor, just replace cocoa powder in the recipe with the same amount of flour. In this case, omit the chopped chocolate.
Also, you can add any spices to the batter, such as cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, ginger**, nutmeg**.
It’s up to you how sweet you want the pound cake to taste. Adjust the amount of sugar as you like, as in the recipes for the vegan lemon cake or vegan coconut cake. You can also do this depending on how sweet your jam tastes.
What jam for pound cake?
You can bake the loaf cake with any jam. So that you do not need so much flour, it should not be liquid, but solid.
I used strawberry jam for the pound cake. With the homemade blackcurrant jam, which I used to make my vegan jam cookies, it gets a tart note and tastes just as delicious. An apple jam and apricot jam also work well for this.
Which baking pan?
I baked the vegan nut chocolate jam cake, just like my vegan applesauce cake for example, in a 25 cm x 10 cm loaf pan**. Alternatively, you can use another baking pan. Among other things, a round springform pan, in which I baked my vegan orange poppy seed cake, or a bundt pan is well suited for this.
Just note that, depending on the size of your baking pan, the baking time specified in the recipe may vary greatly for you. Do not bake the nut chocolate jam cake longer than necessary so that it tastes moist and not dry.
