Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake














72. Organic Vegan Chocolate Cake
A friend of my fiance's family, Mr Victor is vegan and eats organic foods, so when he put me up for a challenge to make his lovely and most capable wife, a birthday cake, I jumped at the opportunity! Well, not before doing some research myself, that is. Victor says she makes the most wonderful Toufu cheesecake, so I wasn't about to put myself up against the best, so I opted to make an Organic Vegan Chocolate cake instead.

I prayed very hard too and Viola! My Organic Vegan Chocolate cake!

It is made of Billington's organic brown sugar, Waitrose's organic soymilk, dutch cocoa and some toufu! I topped it off with a ganache I made out of soymilk and cocoa and I must say that I am thankful for this order as it has allowed me to learn so much about baking for people of different lifestyles! Also, I must say that I am impressed with how vegans can make a cake without eggs...*Wow*

So far, I've made diabetic-friendly cakes and now, here's one more to my list - Vegan and/or Organic cakes!

Paris Sticks

Paris sticks really are super flaky, melt-in-your-mouth vienesse cookies, sandwiched with jam in the middle, and ends dipped in chocolate!

Again, these make wonderful gifts for the Christmas season!

Cupcakes

















For Engagement parties!

Delightful milk cupcakes so fluffy and white, they symbolise purity. Topped with Lemon cream cheese and choice of sesame seeds or mini hearts sprinklers, these are just the perfect gift to say "Blessed Union"!

Almond Espresso Biscotti
















Just in time for CHRISTMAS!
These twice baked biscotti are filled with nibs of almonds and espresso beans. They're perfect with your daily cuppa as they're absolutely aromatic! A hint of cinnamon perks your taste buds up too. And don't worry, as usual, they're not too sweet.
