Oooooh I’m going to be craving this like mad until I get around to making it!!! Looks amazing 🤩

Love our reigning vegan queen as always!! I always so appreciate you giving us the Celsius temperatures!! Ciao for now and can't wait for the next one!! 💖 and💖💖

'pill swallowing anxiety' oh god, white people 😂

Okay new rule: no more making desserts and not telling me to stop by tysm

WOWOWOW!!! Merle, you always bring delicious recipes!!! 100% GONNA TRY THIS!!!

1/2 Cup of Soy Milk. I think.

Shout out to Merle for the 🎬 *Take 2* 🎬

I love impossible burgers, meatballs and nuggets. They taste great!

Ugh, what is going on here? So many utensils being used, its like a never-ending cooking show! And the constant talking and editing, its giving me anxiety just watching this video. I mean, I get it, youre trying to be all cute and charming, but come on, can we just focus on the cake for once? And dont even get me started on the ingredients. Almond meal, almond flour, soy milk, cashews... its like a chemistry experiment in there! And then you add flax eggs and mashed banana? What is this, some kind of vegan baking sorcery? I will give you credit, though - that cake does look pretty good. I mean, its not perfect or anything, but its definitely edible. And the fact that youre so proud of yourself for making a cake without using animal products... thats something to be commended. But seriously, can we please just simplify the recipe and ingredients? Im all about promoting veganism and animal-friendly cooking, but this is getting out of hand. Lets keep it real, folks - we dont need all those fancy ingredients or complicated steps to make a delicious cake. Anyway, thats my two cents on this video. If youre interested in trying out some new vegan baking recipes, Id be happy to share some simple and easy-to-make options with you. Just let me know!

Tbh, I feel like having more available liquid helped more than anything. The baking powder probably worked better if the dough wasn't as dense, and it looked thinner in the 2nd attempt

Omgggggg 😭 it's 5am and the biggest black hole just opened on my tummy, your twist made it look even better I'm hungry 🥺

I can so relate 😂 I am a passionate baker and, as you say, baking is science and sometimes it just doesn't work as you want it to. Props to you that you kept trying 🎉 It really is the best feeling when you finally get the recipe right and the texture and taste are just on point! Loved the video!!

I always choose apple sauce to add fluff and sweetness to my vegan baking, i find its the easiest and most effective ingredient and works better the more you put in! I'm so happy to see you enjoying yourself in the kitche merly 🥰

Hear me out… swap the banana with mashed up strawberries and if not sweet enough, a tbsp of strawberry jam 👀

Looks amazing🎉

Wow merle baking ❤

I made this the other night with toasted sourdough bread and added chickpeas and OMFG it was seasoned perfectly and the heat from the harissa ❤❤❤❤❤ gotta try more recipes since I've been no meat for 90 days on 9/1

We love a baking Merle ! 🥰🫶🏽

Mmmmmm. That looks really good.

I tried the first one with the same modifications just no red pepper flakes. It was very bland imo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Strawberry shortcake was a big part of my childhood (which was a longgg time ago 😅) - my mother used to make it pretty often- and it is something I think about more often than is probably normal 😆. Totally making this! Thank you Merle! 🍓 🍰

Really cool that you added your own twist, I prefer that over just making a recipe and saying it's good☺️

I respect not letting it go until you perfected it…I wouldn’t have slept till I worked it out 😂 well done ✌🏼

Humans can only absorb 30-40 grams of protein per setting depending on your body weight. The remainder we pee out. I notice you like to overload the protein in a lot of recipes, it's really not needed unless your like 250 pound power lifter. Food for thought. hehe

I’m definitely going to try this but poke holes in the cake like très leches. The cake looks a little dry and I think pouring some milk over would be delicious!

I genuinely thought almond meal and almond flour were the exact same thing.

gotta try this one out

Gummy. Hmm...

Loveeeee this! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks Merle!

Was there a reason you kept looking at the ceiling in the first part of the video? It was making me paranoid something was up there, but I didn't see you address it in any way. Oh, and thanks for the recipe.

Your version looks damn good Merle, keep up the fun and good content ((:

I need to travel to LA. I would do nothing but eat. Maybe do some yoga and dancing but for the most part, I'm eating!

That cake looked delicious. I will be trying 😍😍😍

Hey Merle, Can you make a vegan chicken scarpariello? A celebrity private chef have a recipe for them on Delish website or if you type in vegan chicken scarpariello here on CZcams or google.

👋 Merle, Have you ever heard of a social media influencer/content creator named Alexa Luria? She is from Boca Raton, Florida and currently she lived in Los Angeles, California. 🌴 ☀️ 👙 🌊 She also has a foodie account called Girl With A Gourmet Palate. 😋🤤🦋 💚 🍴

This looks sososo gooood! I just love everything about your videos. Merle, you just seem like a very cool person <3

your additions are perfect everytime merle 😍

baking rule: it doesnt matter how little banana you add to something, it will taste of banana

Had to watch this in secret because my husband is a fruit fiend and I would have to immediately go get the ingredients if he sees this

Its kind of looks like a tres leches cake when its all together

Almond meal is what you are left with when making your own almond milk, so that's where she probably gets it! :)

Thank you for continuing to create and post vegan content with frequency!! I’m always surprised (idk everything ends; I’ve been pessimistic recently) and excited to see a new Merle video pop up! ❤❤ Wish you all the best!

Sugar contributes to browning. That’s why I didn’t look cooked.

From a Gluten-free household, thank you for doing this recipe. We look forward to trying it sometime. Keep up the good work Merle, we love your channel.

So glad you shared this Merle, I'm really excited to try this out! I think it would be SUPER delicious to poke a bunch of lil holes in it and let that whip just soak into the cake and top it with some fluffy whipped cream, almost like a strawberry tres leches 😋

Indeed, what a journey. Can't wait to make this with my 4-year-old this weekend. Merle, you're a gd legend.💖

This looks insane!!! I LOVE Strawberries, we go through them like crazy

It's crazy to me because I mess up when cooking/baking all the time, but I'd much rather bake than cook. I just don't do it often because I'm left to eat it all myself 🤣

You're on your way to becoming a baker when you say things like "I added a flax egg to lighten it up"! Sounds great and I'd like to try. HOWEVER, your gram measurements are way way WAY off. For example, 2 cups of soy milk is about 250 grams - not 18.

What are you looking up at?
