Simple Vegan Chocolate Piñon Cake

This simple yet rich and buttery cake is a plant-based version of a Feast Day Torte, similar to tortes tasted at different Pueblos during Feast Day celebrations. Feast Days are a Pueblo celebration that honors each Pueblo’s Patron Saint, where Native homes from each Pueblo invite relatives and visitors into their homes for a meal. If piñon nuts are not available or too expensive, you can easily substitute raw pecans in this cake recipe from the Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky cookbook.
