This past week Mike celebrated his birthday and I decided to bake him a birthday cake.
I'm not a baker, but I must say that I have been enjoying baking more and more.
I grabbed our go-to baking cookbook, "The Joy of Vegan Baking" by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and I got to work.
Mike's favorite recipe out of that book is the Chocolate Cake recipe. I also used the chocolate frosting recipe!
The cake came out perfect and delicious. Mike loved it.
Now don't laugh at the photo! I said it was deliciousness, not that it came out photo worthy!
The reason I wanted to write a post about this is because making the cake was so simple! I communicate with blog readers all of the time and many of them don't bake because they believe they couldn't do it, that it takes too long and is too complicated. The chocolate cake took less than 15 minutes to make!
Grab a recipe you think looks interesting and go for it! Make something delicious for someone you love or a neighbor or a co-worker. You will have a blast and you'll be able to spread vegan deliciousness which always is a win!
Thanks for reading.
Gay and vegan in the burbs (of Los Angeles). I blog about veganism, equality, compassion, activism, politics, spirituality and the awesome life experiences of The Gay Vegans. The "s" includes my husband, Mike! I believe that we all have more in common than not and that we all have the power to be the voice of the voiceless. I want this blog to be a tool for me to build bridges amongst communities and those with differing opinions.
My favorite cake recipe is the "just Chocolate Cake" recipe from Isa Does It. Super easy and amaaaaaaazing. And not that bad for you, either!
ReplyDeleteI will try that one! Thank you!
