Oh my god you talk too much hey guys what’s up it’s me Gretchen from Gretchen’s bakery and today I have another new recipe for you you are going to flip I have a lot of words but I really don’t have a lot of words to describe the awesomeness of this new
Recipe and I know I say that a lot like pretty much about all my recipes but come on seriously do I not share with you the best recipes that there are okay so peanut butter cake guys peanut butter cupcakes with peanut butter icing and so it’s a new recipe for peanut butter cake
And I just need to talk about flax eggs for a minute the egg replacement in a lot of my recipes now that I’ve transitioned to vegan is now what’s called like a flax egg it’s basically flax seeds that are ground down to a meal and when you add water to it
Flax seems to have sort of like this gelatinous binding properties in recipes very similar to eggs and so when you put flax eggs and cake recipes there is such a moistness that comes through that honestly compared to egg cake recipes it’s really unmatched I wish I knew
About flax egg years ago because I have been using them my cakes are so super moist now that I’m using flax as the replacement for the egg so for you guys who are like oh it doesn’t have eggs in the recipe forget it I’m not going to
Use it like come on just because it doesn’t have eggs in the recipe doesn’t mean it’s bad and actually it means in this case it is way better so I really hope you will try it there’s a bit of a back story here I have someone who is I
Consider him my professional taste tester and actually he’s sort of like I collaborate with him on a lot of ideas here for Gretchen’s Bakery I have to credit him for the Metropolitan cupcakes completely his idea he worked with me for the end a week on the key lime pie cheesecake
Nightmare basically just really getting the taste and the texture down and so he’s just really good at like I don’t know eating cake I guess I mean if I thought I met my match when it comes to eating and baking cakes I have definitely met my match with this one so
Here is what happened last weekend after we ate dinner basically was like well what are we going to have for dessert and I said how about peanut butter cupcakes and he automatically knows that my go-to everything is chocolate so he knew of course I’d be making chocolate
Cupcakes with peanut butter icing and he was basically like really how about if we make peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing and I was like hmm that’s like a lot of peanut butter I don’t know that that’s really going to be that good I can admit when I’m wrong and guys let
Me tell you I was wrong this combination this super moist peanut butter cupcake with peanut butter cheesecake icing and of course I did have to put a little streak of fudge in there I have to get my chocolate fix in there but it’s really just a small little swirl in the
Icing and you could leave it out or put it in there I think it really makes everything come together perfectly but this recipe is so good I know you’re going to love it and if you just please try the plaques for this I know that I’m
Going to get you on board whether you are doing a vegan lifestyle or not just because the recipe doesn’t have eggs in it doesn’t mean it’s bad actually it means it’s awesome so anyway enough of me yapping oh my god you talk too much let’s get right to the recipe so check
It out so for the peanut butter cake recipe you will need sugar flour any milk alternative of your choice white vinegar peanut butter vegan butter or shortening baking powder flax meal and vanilla extract first gets the milk dump of vinegar together to sour and then add the vanilla extract to that next you’re
Going to make the flax paste by adding warm water to the meal and then let it stand for about five minutes to thicken up cream the vegan butter with the sugar on medium to high speed for just about three to five minutes to get it nice and light and
Then add the peanut butter and just mix it to combine now add the flax paste and mix it well and now we’re going to do what’s called an alternating creaming mixed method where we add about 1/3 of the sifted dry ingredients which is the flour and the baking powder mix it just
Until it’s combined and then add half of the milk mixture another 1/3 of the flour and then the remaining milk and then the last of the flour this is a method that is used when there is a heavy amount of liquids in a recipe like this one it helps to bind everything to
A smooth batter without curdling the mix since fat can only handle so much liquid suspended in them but well that’s a bit of baking science and oh my god we talk so much so now portion the batter into the cupcake liners and bake them in a preheated 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven
For the first 12 minutes that gets a good jump on the rise and then you’ll turn the oven down to 350 for the remaining bake time total bake time for the cupcakes should just be about 25 minutes or until springy to the touch when you gently press the center in the
Meantime get the peanut butter cream cheese buttercream made and this recipe is so super simple it’s just vegan cream cheese and vegan butter together and mix that smooth then add the peanut butter and confectioner sugar and a bit of vanilla and that’s it you’re done Once the cupcakes are completely cooled you can get to icing them I am of course adding that little fudge swirl to mine because duh chocoholic here and last a spot of crushed peanuts to garnish and you are on your way to double peanut butter heaven I really hope you will try

Peanut Butter PERFECTION! Thank you Chef Gretchen!!!
Hey Gretchen…just found your channel and love it! Just love peanut butter cake and buttercream! Have you ever used chai seed in place of eggs? Wonder if those would work in a cake? Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Ahahaha best intro ever. That's your catchphrase now hahaha!
Love all your rhetoric. Totally fun and energetic.
How do I buy any of your things? I couldn't make these or anything u show us if I tried. And I am trying to make being vegan easier bc I have a huge sweet tooth.
Hey gretchen, mi trying to loose some weight, so can you please stop uploading this amazing recipes that i need to make 😄
You look magnificent! You've got that vegan glow that makes you look so beautiful and healthy. Your channel is awesome. And you don't speak too much. You're the pro and every word you say is verry informative. If some don't wanna ear what you have to say well they just have to go to the blog

Love your recipes–can't wait to try this one out–thanks, Gretchen! If we want to sub shortening for Earth Balance, which do you use? Spectrum? P.S.–keep talking! 🙂
great recipe! can I ground the flax seeds myself?:)
I really like it when you talk! The monotonous music in the background not so much . Thanks for recipes
Loved them, love you, and that chocolate swirl you slipped in was probably just enough to break it up a bit… and Gretchen your talking equals explaining. Learning occurs with the explanation, and when learned through explanation, we would all hope to achieve understanding. So keep doing what your doing. Oh and it's also entertaining, and we all love to be entertained!
Lol you always make me smile. You don't talk too much. You are entertaing. 😁💐
Saw this and my immediate instinct was to fill them with grape jelly. Might try it this weekend!
That looks so amazing! I enjoy making your recipes for coworkers and fooling them with vegan delights. My vegan/vegetarian coworkers truly get a kick out the meat eaters' responses.
Talk as much as you want! I enjoy your commentary.
I love when you talk because I learn alot
What flax seed taste like???
Hi.. what you talk is really informative..bakery science is interesting.. ✌🏼👌🏼👍🏼 I like how you brief scientific reasons…
Thank you for your recepies. With your experience, do you know if it can be used stevia on baking? Trying to avoid sugar here! 😅 thank you.
Omg, can you make a vegan mirror gaze cake? Please~~
Hi Gretchen. Although many of us who have followed you since the beginning, and can appreciate your beliefs and the changes you have made, but please don't come down hard on those of us who don't fully commit to your recipes. Sometimes those of us who may like to commit may not fully be able to due to what we can and can not afford with the alternative ingredients. Some of which can be quite pricey, but that of course depends on what country you are living in. So please don't take offence when we ask for clarification of what we do not understand as being the alternative. I understand the conflict you may feel between your beliefs and having to constantly refer back to your non beliefs. Maybe what you could do is work on a substitution list with weights and measures for everything deemed to be an animal product you may use in your list of ingredients and then that way it's done and you no longer need to be disturbed by people like me who may need some clarification for some of the ingredients that you use. Just like you would like respect and support in your life changing decision, the same goes for the rest of us who prefer not to change or more importantly cannot afford to make such changes. It maybe a different story if in the beginning when all you did was vegan recipes and that was what you were known for, but it does make a difference when you change gears half way. So please don't be offended. I still think your awesome and just love your recipes. It would be so sad if you snubbed your long time followers because of your beliefs.
I can testify as a woman who bakes as a hobby and a job about this vegan thing. I have a recipe that I ALWAYS use for my lemon pound cake. I always bake the vegan/gluten free pound cake first due to the many scares and concerns of the gluten flour mixing with the gluten free and results will vary from mild sickness to death. The only thing is that I change the eggs to flax seed meal, which can be frozen in the bag to make them last a long time, milk, which the amount I use every week at cost is a $1(once a week) since I use almond milk from Kroger, and organic sugar, which is by design vegan as well. The rest is a normal recipe to a normal lemon pound cake recipe (minus of course the fact that I use a different flour for the gluten free version). As I have testified before on another video, the taste is similar if not the same. I have also turned many on to this version without anyone realizing it till they ask about it. My family is a normal, meat eating loving family through and through, yet my oldest LOVES the vegan pound cake. In fact, once again he was disappointed that he thought I didn't make one for him only to find out that I made one for himself. A friend's son was helping me with selling my wares when I client came by the booth (I do farmer's markets) and asked about the pound cakes. They were disappointed that there were no regular ones left, having sold out 2 hours before hand. I pointed out the few special ones I had left and the person questioned the taste. The son beside me said he never had one before so he couldn't say either. I grabbed one off of the table and gave it to him with a fork. Let's just say it was gone within moments including moans of pleasured taste. He didn't like it…HE LOVED IT! Honestly, between going vegan and gluten free, vegan is the least expensive to go through. Again, we are not a vegan family, but that does not mean that we don't like it. If anything, we appreciate those that are either or both because we understand and are grateful to all: vegan, gluten free, animal eating….all the same in the baking world…just different ingredients. The main thing is that for the most part, it is the same.
Hi Gretchen, I was just wondering, for the peanut butter buttercream do you use 100% natural peanut butter or the more processed kind? thanks, love your videos!! 🙂
Those look delicious. I'm going to have to try them using almond butter because I've been eating almond butter instead of peanut butter for a long time now. I love pancakes with almond butter instead of butter & maple syrup. Yum!
If I don't want to bake this vegan style, what is the alternative to use instead of flex meal?
I thought it was grape jam PBJ cupcake pls
Hi gretchen i live in nicaragua , and i like your recipes, here in my country we only know the vanilla escense, but i was able to try the nielsen massey pure vanilla extract and also the pure vanilla bean paste, i was so exited about making my cupcake batter and frosting with the nielsen massey vanillas, i was actually expecting the flavor to be like the greates flavor on earth, but i got really desapointed when all time cupcakes came out of the oven, they didnt taste like anything, i got the nielsen vanillas from william sonoma, the expiration date was still good, so i dont know if that is how vanilla is suppose to taste like, the thing i was able to smell when i first opened the bottles was a strong alcoholic smell, and about the vanilla paste it was a super subtle smell, i think a cheap vanilla cookie smelled stronger than that paste. Honestly, i thought the nielsen massey was worth the 25 american dollars that i paid for each of the 3 non smelling vanilla extracts. Can you tell me what maybe happened. Keep posting more great recipes. Blessings from Nicaragua!
De ahora en delante todo sera vegano? 🤔 rayos! En Guatemala no hay todo además no soy vegana
JUST found out about your channel, can't believe I didn't know about it sooner! Love to bake and am a new vegan, so of course I'm an instant fan!
And you do NOT talk too much, haha. I've had a hard time finding channels that devote time to vegan baking science, so I really appreciate the tidbits of information in your vids. Keep up the awesome work!
You do not talk to much. Your being you and thats just what we need from your Gretchen vegan bakery.
Sorry that Vegans are more social and happier that we actually talk lol 😆 😅 😄
