How to Make Superfood Kale Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup shelled pistachios (finely chopped).
  3. In a food processor, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup packed kale (washed and roughly chopped), ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup maple syrup. Process until completely smooth.
  4. Gradually add the soy milk (amount will vary depending on the consistency of the batter, start with ½ cup and add more as needed) to the food processor while blending until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting (cashew sour cream frosting recommended!). Slice and enjoy!
