http://www.veganbaking.net/ 76-1645 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/76-white-cake Hi Mattie! Haven't tried this recipe yet, but I trust your recipes. I was just wondering if I could tweak it into a jelly roll with any success. How fragile is it? Some people said it has a good moist, crumb so I think I am going to try it....I will hook you up with my results :) ]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:08:59 -0400 764-1639 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/cupcakes/764-pumpkin-cupcakes-with-spiced-icing * Half the applesauce, so 2 TBS will make the perfect amount of batter for 12 cupcakes. To shave chocolate you can either melt dark chocolate down and wait for it to solidify and then shave with a spoon. Or if in a hurry you can shave the squares with a butter knife. ]]> Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:55:07 -0400 764-1638 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/cupcakes/764-pumpkin-cupcakes-with-spiced-icing I changed these to make them healthier. 3/4 cup coconut sugar (which has a low-glycemic index. Not a perfect sugar replacement because of the sucrose, but better than refined sugar for sure. http://authoritynutrition.com/coconut-sugar/) Coconut oil is controversial so I decided to go with canola oil. 1/4 cup applesauce instead of blackstrip molasses to make it less sugar heavy. I used egg replacer instead of chia seed just because I was out, works great. I used whole- wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose white. I used ground cardamom instead of ginger, because I was out. Instead of frosting I used shaved dark chocolate as a garnish. I had a little bit more batter than was needed, but it made a great left-over giant cookie. Husband approved, and he is used to very traditional baking. ]]> Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:11:41 -0400 549-1636 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/cupcakes/549-vanilla-cupcakes-cream-method Well, they smell like heaven! I've been asked to make gluten free and vegan (in the same batch!) cupcakes for my sister in law's wedding; never tried it before! I was so excited to find your blog posting with this recipe. I haven't tasted them yet, but they smell like heaven! Thanks so much for your help.

Add to that his multitude of food allergies/sensitivities and the inability to have ANY salt in anything, and making a birthday cake for him is, well, challenging. This recipe started with most things that he could have. I did substitute a few things: vinegar for lemon juice; flour-- 1/3 sorghum, 1/3 almond meal and 1/3 sweet rice; guar gum instead of xanthan to avoid corn and I used coconut oil-- oh, and I used canned coconut milk instead of the other type that has all the other ingredients that he can't have-- like salt. It was really good and even the non-gluten-free people gulped it down and asked for more. For a frosting, I powdered natural sugar, added some coconut oil and a splash of coconut milk (the canned stuff). It was really good! If I'd had some maple syrup, I'd have substituted it. He had a great birthday yesterday and thanks largely to this recipe. Thanks! ]]> Fri, 07 Jun 2013 15:25:07 -0400 788-1620 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/788-chocolate-cake-2 Mine didn't rise ... did anyone else have this problem, or could take a guess why this happened? Tastes great regardless :-) ]]> Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:47:00 -0400 76-1611 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/76-white-cake Do you think this would translate well to cupcakes? ]]> Thu, 30 May 2013 12:36:15 -0400 774-1594 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/774-sugar-mamas-gluten-free-vanilla-cake I made this cake today and followed the recipe exactly (except for white rice flour instead of brown). It cooked beautifully but fell very flat as it cooled. The texture is gummy. Any ideas? I noticed the recipe has no eggs? ]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 18:07:37 -0400 69-1575 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/69-banana-walnut-cake I am very new to veganism and this is the very first recipe I've used which doesn't contain dairy and it's great! I was worried that without eggs a cake just wouldn't be a cake, but it works and is delicious! I baked it for an extra ten minutes (35 min in total) as it wasn't done and it came out perfect. I frosted it with chocolate ganache made from 250ml coconut cream, 1x tbsp caster sugar, 1x tbsp cocoa powder, 1x tsp vanilla extract and 200g dark chocolate - melted together in a bain marie. This made enough to ice two cakes so I have frozen half the mixture for next time. ]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:54:45 -0400 549-1541 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/cupcakes/549-vanilla-cupcakes-cream-method As I will be using this for a cake size portion, I notice that you use 11/2 tsp of flax seed instead of a Tsp. (I'm so used to whole "eggs" in my recipes). Would it make a difference if I used an "egg" measurement (1Tsp. flax to 3Tsp. of water) in the recipe? Also, can I replace apple cider vinegar for white vinegar? ]]> Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:18:02 -0400
