Since changing the way we eat, I am re-learning how to bake using very little fats and oils while also eliminating eggs, butter, and dairy. Tuesday was my hubby's 34th birthday and I found a recipe for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting in the McDougall's book, The Starch Solution. The recipe looked easy enough to make and I had Augustus pick up a few ingredients that I didn't have on hand at Trader Joe's on Monday. Also, the recipe called for a 8 X 8 pan, which I have, but doesn't look very festive. So, instead I used a bundt pan and it came out beautifully. The girls loved the results and were happy to see that birthday baking is still alive and well in our household. So, yay, to our first delicious and successful vegan birthday cake! I know there will be many more to come.
