http://www.veganbaking.net/ 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 71-1539 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/71-carrot-cake-9-by-13-inch Just to update that I tried to substitute the oil with applesauce and it didn't work. Unfortunately came out underdone and rubbery. I may try one more time without the oil ( and just not replacing it with anything), but it's hard to see such a great cake ruined. Marie - your original is still the best! ]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 20:24:43 -0400 788-1531 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/788-chocolate-cake-2 i love this cake, would have given it 5 stars, but it totally sticks to my non-stick pan and comes out a mess. What are you doing that I'm not :( ]]> Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:28:17 -0400 71-1527 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/71-carrot-cake-9-by-13-inch Thank you so very much for this recipe. I love it (as did my husband) and will certainly be making it again. The texture is amazing. It is moist without being stodgy and I appreciate that this recipe has a lot less oil than other carrot cake recipes I've tried and the fact that the pineapple gives moisture and body without a noticeable pineapple flavour. Now that I've tried it almost as written (I substituted Xylitol for the sugar and Sweet Freedom for the molasses) I plan to make the following substitutions next time around: 1) Put in half or less of the nutmeg (was too strong for me) 2) Try pecans instead of walnuts 3) Grate half the carrots with a fine grater separately. I think I processed them too fine this time around and didn't really notice them at all in the finished cake. I like to SEE the little bits of carrot in the finished cake. I was also considering trying to reduce the oil even further by substituting either orange juice or applesauce for part of it. Haas this been tried by anyone before and, if so, can you advise / warn about the results? ]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:32 -0400 71-1515 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/71-carrot-cake-9-by-13-inch I made this cake today - the best carrot cake I've ever had (and I'm spoilt when it comes to cake). The method is unusual and the amount of carrots and pineapple seemed way too much, but it worked out perfectly and made a very moist, flavorful cake. Thank you Mattie! ]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:37:15 -0400 774-1505 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/774-sugar-mamas-gluten-free-vanilla-cake Oh, I can't wait to make this cake. I'm missing the coconut flour. But I'll just have to go out and buy some. I was wondering if you could convert this into a chocolate cake? I've only recently gone gluten free, and until then had my very favourite vegan chocolate cake that I used as a base for anything - cupcakes, layered cakes, you name it. So I'm still learning about the different flours in gluten free baking, but Im thinking 1/2 cup of cocoa powder shouldn't affect the consistency too much, right? ]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 12:53:13 -0400 774-1486 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/774-sugar-mamas-gluten-free-vanilla-cake I tried this cake last weekend and it was amazing! I can't tolerate a lot of oil so this recipe is perfect in my books because I could eat a nice big piece and not feel sick after. It reminded me of the gluten and dairy filled cake my mom use to make on our birthdays when I was a kid :) ]]> Sun, 10 Mar 2013 15:44:49 -0400 456-1469 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/456-parsnip-cake I was so excited to try this! Never had parsnips before and was intrigued by the unique idea of putting them in a cake. I was so pleased with the result! I made this cake with the easy cream cheese frosting and it was amazing!! Beautiful cake too. Definitely recommend this!! ]]> Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:08:07 -0500 71-1453 http://www.veganbaking.net/cakes/sponge-cakes/71-carrot-cake-9-by-13-inch So great!! I'm a big lover of carrot cake and I thought our local health food store's restaurant made the best. I can say that this recipe beat its pants off! It was pretty easy to put together and baked up beautifully. The spices are incredible and the cake is moist. Pair it with the vegan cream cheese frosting linked above and it is absolutely divine. Love it! Thank you! ]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:43:26 -0500
