Vegan Birthday Cake

by 田草川(たくさがわ)かおる

Hi this is KK, Sushi Artist / Healthy Muffin Maker / Mum 🙂

Thank you for visiting my blog.

 

I love to cook, but there are some things that I can’t cook everyday, and one of them  is “Decoration Cake”. Technically, yes I can bake them, but when you are only a family of three (and a third one, 20 month old baby), it is difficult for us to finish a whole cake, no matter how tasty it is.

So, I use every occasion as an excuse to bake a cake, and here was another chance! One of our friends at playgroup was turning 2, so I decided to do a cake on my morning roster day. That was my no egg, no sugar, no butter Birthday cake.

I just introduced the photo on that day, here is the recipe to it!

 To make a rectangle cake tin or 18cm round tin

 

 

 

Ingredients

-280g Organic plain flour

-20 g Cornflour

-20g Cocoa

-1 Tablespoon Aluminium free Baking Powder

-1 pinch Salt

-100 cc Oil (I used rice bran oil)

-100 cc Organic Maple syrup

-300 cc Organic soy milk

 

Method

Step 1: Line the baking tin with grease proof paper, preheat oven at 180C; Shift all of the dry ingredients (flour, cornflour, cocoa, baking powder, salt) into a large bowl; Mix all the wet ingredients (oil, syrup, soy mik) in a large bowl

 

Step 2: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mix with a spatula but do not over beat; Pour int tin and bake at 180C for 20min (square tin)/30min (round tin) ; test with a skewer to see if it is cooked in the center before taking out of the oven to cool

 

 

To decorate, I cut it in half, placed some banana in the middle and covered it with Tofu Cream. For the letters, I mixed 1 Tablespoon Cocoa with 1 Tablespoon Maple syrup in a small bowl, place it on a glad wrap, poked a hole in it and drew the letters. Taste just like chocolate, but its dairy free!

Hope you enjoy cooking them 🙂

Hi this is KK, Sushi Artist / Healthy Muffin Maker / Mum 🙂

Thank you for visiting my blog.

20120525-084956.jpgToday is my roster to do the morning tea for playgroup, and since we haven’t had a birthday party for a while, I decided to do a cake!

This is a no egg, no sugar, no butter chocolate sponge cake with no butter, no sugar, no egg, no cream cheese, no icing sugar, no margarine cream!

Even the letters are written with dairy and choc-free icing.

 

Want to know how it’s made?

Stay tuned! I’ll try to write it when I come back from playgroup 🙂

 

 

By the way, as usual, it’s super easy, all made in one bowl!

Cookie Monster Cake

Hi this is KK, Sushi Artist/ Healthy Muffin Maker/ Mum 🙂

Thank you for visiting my blog.

 

I call myself “Healthy Muffin Maker” and most of the muffins I make are very healthy, but there are times in life that I make “not-so-healthy” cakes too! Especially special moments like birthdays and anniversaries need to be celebrated in a special way.

So, I do make regular cakes too! However, I do try to make them healthy as possible by using organic ingredients and less sugar as possible.

This cake was made for one of my best friends on her birthday. I made everything except the marshmallows, which I would have made if I had more time to prepare 🙂 !

The inside is chocolate cake with cream cheese filling and coffee syrup, the outside is whipped cream slightly tinted with organic food coloring to make it look purple.

I hope I can share some inspiration with this cake. If you need a recipe, let me know 🙂

It is not as hard as you think, just takes some patience to do the icing… Was great fun making it! Thanks for giving me the opportunity Candice 🙂 !
