Cake Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpea Mixture

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the dry ingredients to the chickpea mixture, then pour in the olive oil and water. Stir until just combined.

  4. 4

    Shape the Cakes

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking tray. Form the chickpea mixture into small patties and place them on the baking tray.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and firm to the touch.

  6. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the cakes are baking, prepare the toppings by slicing avocado and making tomato jam.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the cakes are done, serve them warm topped with avocado slices, pea shoots, and a dollop of tomato jam.
