We took a winter hike with Iggy and went to the library. I got a ton of cookbooks (candle cafe, moosewood desserts, anatomy of dessert, dirty south/bandito zine-like cookbook....) And an astrology book. I also got 2 copies of my vegan zine, cake walk!
For the afternoon, we baked the pumpkin crumb cake from veganomicon. We pulled a double. Made 2 round cakes, a loaf, and 6 muffins. We topped them with pecan pieces and blackberries and blueberries instead of streusel topping. they were marvelous.

Here is the first little mini cake. It is in Marie A. colors, I like it but it is a bit of a slop fest. it was still really fun to decorate. i used the vegan cupcakes take over the world vanilla cupcake recipe with their vanilla buttercream. The top view is most prettiest.

upon daunies request, here is my birthday post:
went to the childrens museam with my best friends and sister and mum.
since this blog focuses on food, here is what we ate:
Bazbeaux Pizza! 2 large 16" pizzas, 1 of which Daun, adree and i shared and we ate the whole thing! (garden pizza with no cheese and extra saucey)
Mom tylea mandy and taylor shared a big ol' pepperoni pizza.

beautiful and elegance.
vegan peanut butter cake with vanilla buttercream. and chocolate ganache writing.
oh it was lovely.
yes the beautiful cake was made by my sisters talented hands. twas very marie antoinette and tasty tasty.
I just love it

Daunie inspired me to bake a cake for Noodles today...so I baked up a carob cake with a peanut butter filling, and a cream cheese-peanut butter-banana frost. The cake turned out great, very fluffy and light. I dog-ified the 'new carob cake' recipe from "The Cookbook for people who love animals". and i made up the frosting recipe. Noodle could barely contain himself when i sat it down, he didn't sit all nice and properly next to it, like iggy. but i did cut him a slice and he gobbled the whole slice in his mouth, i had to tear a large chunk off so he wouldn't choke on all that cake!!

adree and i made a cake today in a tart pan. and drizzled it with frosting and put a ring of strawberry jam around it. the white thing in the middle is a miniature cake that is frosted. and we made vegan sloppy joes that were tasty on toast.
here's the cake recipe....
1-1/2 c flour, 1 c turbinado sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 t salt, 1 c soymilk, 1/3 c oil, 2 t vanilla, 1/2 t white vinegar (i used 1 tsp and it had a faintly vinegar taste, so try it with 1/2 and see how it weeerks).
preheat oven to 350f. mix dry in large bowl, add wet, vinegar last. combine. pour into greased cake pan(s) and bake 20-25 mins. cool and frost.

Papaw's Birthday was on Saturday! I baked him a little vegan cake! It was a moist banana cake from www.veganvisitor.wordpress.com...Very good cake I may add, and so easy! Then I paired it with a thick, sugary caramel sauce from www.theppk.com (isa!) It was delicious! Everyone loved it. Granny ate it with non-vegan vanilla ice cream...ha. i don't think she gets veganism. Definitely love love love the banana cake. The sauce was super rich and I halved the recipe because it was so darn sweet! Here is a picture of the cake, and my Papaw! Also, I have the banana cake recipe, but rememeber it is from vegan visitor! My cake took about 30-35 mins. to cook in a small square glass pan. I omited the chocolate pieces, and did not toast my pecans. For my egg replacer, I mixed 2 TBS. flaxseed meal with 3 TBS. water in a cup. The cake looks like sticky toffee pudding! But doesn't taste like that wonderful Brit dessert!

EGGLESS BANANA CAKE

3 Ripe Bananas
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 teaspoon Salt
Replacer equal to one egg (+ water to package direction)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 Cup Soft Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Pieces
1/2 Cup Broken, Toasted Pecans (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

In a large mixer, cream the bananas with the oil, sugar and vanilla.

Prepare the egg replacer as to the package directions and add it and the salt to the banana mixture.

Once well combined, add the baking powder and soda, followed by the flour, adding it in batches.

Stir in chocolate pieces and nuts, if using.

Oil and dust a 8″ round pan with flour. Pour in the batter and bake on the centre rack for about 40 -45 minutes.

Check bounce at the centre of the cake or insert and remove a toothpick. The cake is moist but it should come out fairly clean.

Allow to cool slightly and dust with confectioners sugar.

This recipe will also make a great loaf (55 - 65 minutes), 12 muffins(18-20 minutes) or 24 mini muffins (about 13 - 15 minutes).
