    To be truthful, I don't think I've ever actually made a cake! But I make some killer muffins, which are kind of like cake, only smaller. They're chocolate-chip pumpkin muffins, adapted from a recipe that used to be on the PPK.

    Cool giveaway! Good luck to all!

    I've baking chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and frosting for years and it's always a success with everybody, including non-vegans. I've used different recipes along these years, but in the last three years I'm using the one from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World!

    I love the badges! As for my favourite vegan cake? That's a hard one! I thiiiink it has to be the Raspberry Blackout Cake from Vegan With A Vengeance. It's so decadent that people often have a hard time believing it's vegan!

    I love to do cupcakes. I think my favorite are the VCTOTW green tea cuppies. A new favorite is a mango lassi cake that is all kinds of wonderful.

    My favorite cake to serve to non-vegans is the hazelnut cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World made into a layer cake with chocolate ganache frosting. It's delicious!

    I always make Isa's Raspberry Blackout cake from VWaV if I want to impress non-vegans. It always wins fans.

    I LOVE that flour power badge - I LOVE them all (I have a thing for badges, I might reveal my collection one day). My favourite cake recipe is the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake recipe Vegan Bake Sale - man that cake is fricking AWESOME!! I make that for all my unvegan friends and they ALL rave about it, they're not just being polite either.

    Definitely the Lemon Cake from How it all Vegan. It's a one bowl easy to make cake but so delicious and light. Even my omnivore father has devoured it and ranks it as one of his favourites and he didn't even know it was vegan! It's so lovely of you to offer prizes. Thank you also for commenting on my blog. I appreciate the connection & friendship. xox

    My failsafe is an old-fashioned chocolate cake recipe (of wartime origins when eggs and dairy were scarce, I believe) that just uses oil, vinegar, baking powder and water to make it rise - and it's so easy to make too! You literally just bung everything in a bowl, mix it up and bake. Works every time, makes a massive cake and is brilliant filled with raspberry jam and topped with ganache. No one ever suspects.

    I make these chocolate and peanut butter cupcakes that everyone loses their mind over. (Chocolate cupcakes with peanutbutter frosting inside and on top with a bit of chocolate ganache on top of all of it.) That never fails to get the non-vegans thinking.

    Honestly, I am still searching for the perfect cake recipe. But, one of my standards is an old zucchini cake recipe that I veganized years ago - I usually make it into cupcakes for any potlucks, events, etc. It is super tasty, no one dares complain about the lack of eggs or anything, and it also makes a sneak attack of a serving of zucchini! :)

    I love simple golden vanilla cakes with a fluffy buttercream and topped with whole fresh berries.

    I almost just said "Mac and Cheesecake!" having just eaten waayy too much mac and cheese. But no, that would be disgusting. I'm going to go with the classic key lime cheesecake. I guess a cheesecake is more like a pie than a cake, but it has the word 'cake' in it, no? Anyway, this recipe is super-yum: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=14375.10;wap2

    I can't lie, it's gotta be the fudgy wudgy blueberry brownies (the same as the ones I took to the last CLF meetup!)- first time I made them was to refuel a couple of dozen middle-aged and mostly male mountain bikers, none of whom were vegan but half of them got the recipe from me afterwards!

    I have a go-to Brownie recipe featuring coffee that everyone loves. Lots of omnis have asked me for that recipe and are still begging me to bring those brownies to parties and such.

Cola de Mono

Image
Colo de Mono (Tail of the Monkey) is a Chilean concoction traditionally drunk ice cold at Christmastime. Obviously their winters are a lot warmer than ours so in the UK it's more suited to this time of year. The Chileans use aguadiente an overproof cane spirit. I use Cachaca 51 which I have in for Mojitos and Caipirinhas. Traditionally made with cows milk, here is my vegan version. Colo De Mono Makes 1 pint Serves 4 2 cups of vanilla soy milk 1/3 cup of caster sugar 1/3 teaspoon of cinammon 3 teaspoons of instant coffee 1/2 cup of spirit* Bring the milk, sugar and cinnamon to a low boil in a pan stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and stir in the coffee. Leave to cool. Once cool add the spirit and chill in the fridge. It will keep for 2 weeks. Serve over ice or straight up but make it cold. * Spirit - I use Cachaca but have heard that people use tequila too.

Interview With Lisa Goddard of Lily and Dilly

Image
If you've eaten vegan cake in Manchester City Centre in the last few years then chances are you'll have eaten cake baked by Lisa Goddard of bakery Lily and Dilly . We caught up with Lisa to find out what set her on the vegan baking path! So, Lily and Dilly? What made you set up as an independent bakery and where does the name come from? Having worked as a stop frame animator for 12 years, I was getting rather fed up with short term contracts, so the last time I was made redundant, I decided not to chase work round the country, and if that meant a career change, then so be it. A friend of mine had just set up The Cocoa Emporium as an independent Chocolatier, so I gave her a hand whilst navigating through the benefits system, mostly to get me out of bed on a morning! Doing baking for her farmers market was fun, as it was one of my main hobbies, so when she asked if I fancied getting a little shop  with her, it seemed a nice chance to start something new. We got the shop

Growing your own, bargains and a breakfast recipe

I've started sprouting again! In my old flat I used to do sprouting all the time. The flat was in an old 1930's building and had radiators run from a central boiler room and it was always nice and warm. The constant warm temp made sprouting pretty fail safe. Now I'm in a Derbyshire stone house where it's not as warm the results haven't been as great and I gave up trying  but with this very hot summer we are having I thought I would give it another go and I'm glad I have done. As I already have the seeds it kind of feels like free food too! I'm using these sprouts  from A Vogel. This week I've grown alfalfa but pictured is my first attempt from the week before which was a mix of radish, lentil and rocket which grew into lovely peppery tasting sprouts that we used to garnish our bowl meals for the week. These took 4 days to grow and I nearly gave up on day 2 because I could see mold. Luckily I googled and found out that it wasn't mold at all but r
