Pumpkin pie spice cake with a coconut pumpkin frosting (EN/ RO)

I made something with pumpkin again... What's new, am I right? You all know that I love pumpkin by now... And that I like to make things that are different. 
A few weeks ago I asked my YouTube family what they want to see this month. And most people said that they want recipes for holidays, hence the latest recipes. And I think that this one is also fit for your holiday table. 
This cake is light and fluffy, full of flavor and warming spices. And the creamy pumpkin and coconut frosting is so light and yummy and and fits perfectly with the spices that I use! 
I also love that if you know how to use a piping bag (aka, you're not terrible at it, like I am) you can make it look amazing, to fit the taste!

Tahini biscuits (EN/ RO)

Biscuits and gravy is not really a thing in my country, but I've heard so much about this combo and about biscuits and gravy in general! 
And the fact that they always look so fluffy and flaky made me want to try them. 
I've researched a bit about the difference between biscuits and scones (I found out that no, they're not the same thing) and I started to develop a recipe for myself. Using tahini, because I love it and whole wheat flour for added nutrition. 
And guys, they are so delicious! Fluffy and flaky and they have and amazing depth of flavor, with a bit of bitterness because of the tahini too! They are amazing with a bit of vegan butter and some jam, nut butter, fruits, gravy... Your choice. 
Just try them for yourself, because you don't have to take my word :)

Bean gravy (EN/ RO)

I've heard a lot about biscuits and gravy and gravy in general. So much, in fact, that I wanted to try some for myself. 
But I had to do it my way, of course! So I tried it, and i managed to make it oil free and full of flavor too! It goes well with a lot of savory foods, like a chickpea and lentil loaf, seitan steaks, a seitan wellington or some biscuits if you're into that :)
