Start with the preparatory work. To start, we need popcorn. You can, of course, on the way home to stop at the nearest cinema and buy a bag of popcorn, but I prefer to do it yourself, especially in the cinema with you sderut exorbitant prices for ordinary, a handful of corn. So, take the pan from the widest possible bottom, what you have, and a volume of 5 liters. At the bottom pour 3 tbsp vegetable oil, smeared around the bottom and prikalivaet the saucepan on the fire for 3-4 minutes. Then pour into it half a Cup of corn for popcorn and sprinkle 0.5 tsp of salt. Salt we need necessarily, because in combination with the caramel (in the future) this will give us an indescribable taste. Quickly stir the corn with salt and close the lid. Wait a couple of minutes. Periodically you shake the pan movements back and forth. And so it begins - pop, pop. And then like a machine gun - tra-TA-TA-TA. The cover in any case not open, and it can fly in the eye! As soon as the shelling ended, and in the pan there was silence, remove from heat and put popcorn in a large bowl. Half a Cup of corn we get about 12-13 cups of popcorn. Delayed 9 cups for cake, the rest of you can just chomp those things down there, happily.

Now fry and coarsely chop the peanuts. Something like this. It is not necessary to use a blender! We need just the pieces, not flour.

Coarsely broken crackers. We need 1.5 cups of cracker crumbs. For the Lenten cake make sure your crackers are made from only water, flour and vegetable oil. Mix it all together: crackers, peanuts and popcorn. Set aside.

Now let us cook archanai caramel. For this we need peanut butter. I bought ready, but if you are in the city it don't sell, it's very easy to make yourself, Paramonov nuts into a puree and adding a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt and sugar to taste. For the Cook there are several recipes on how to cook it - just use the search function.

Take sugar "Mistral", of course. It is better to take brown, as it the caramel becomes more intense.

Mix sugar and syrup and bring to the boil. You can take a med, but I read somewhere that if you boil the honey loses all its useful properties and turns into the same sugar syrup... So that being said, what's the point to translate a good product. The syrup can make yourself, Uvarov plain white sugar with water (ratio 2:1) to the color and thickness of honey. As soon as the mixture boils and starts to gurgle, remove it from heat and add to it the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Quickly stir until smooth and pour our popcorn mixture.

Now we have to act pretty quickly because the mixture hardens. Intensely mix our ingredients and spread in a 2 shape with a diameter of 22-23cm, which we have previously lined with foil and well greased with vegetable oil (not grease the foil then it will be difficult to tear off). Tightly and press it with a spatula and leave to harden. Even in the refrigerator do not remove the cakes perfectly and will cure at room temperature.

Meanwhile, make the cream. I'm in the vegan section of the supermarket bought a special margarine for vegans. In any case, vegans are people, who in any way do not eat animal food, so that their margarine made from some vegetable oils. You can use margarine for a meatless diet or even vegetable fat. When there is no post, you can use butter. So, our mix margarine, peanut butter, sea powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and almond milk. Whisk. The cream is ready. It turns out very tasty, and I often use for various baking, and sometimes just bread and smear.

To assemble the cake, as usual: take the cake, remove it from foil, put on a dish, grease cream, put the second cake on top and coat the top and sides. Decorate as you like. I decoration idea spied in a cafe, and I liked it - simple and not pretentious. By the way, these chocolate drops I bought at the same vegan Department. This chocolate contains only cocoa butter and palm oil. Well, that's all. The cake is ready. Enjoy, my dear!

And here is the piece.
