I ordered a new cook book this week, I mainly get them from the library but this one looked so good that I knew I would want to keep this one, plus it was just £5 with free delivery. It came yesterday and I had a good drool looking through it. So I decided the first thing I would make would be the chocolate cake as I knew everyone would eat that. I already made the carrot cake from the vegan website last week but forgot to photograph and post
The organic cacao powder was expensive but well worth it, it tastes amazing in the cake and when you open the packet it smells wonderful. I followed the instructions precisely today and the cake came out brilliant I'm sure I will be making a lot from this book. It is quite a size too, I suppose I didn't expect it to rise without the eggs but it just shows there are ways around these things.
I didn't do the icing as I always feel it can be a bit much, too sweet and just extra expense. Also some types of frosting mean that the cake has to be consumed straight away, this is no good if there are only a few of you or you want it to last.
This is the book, it is a joy to look at as there is a full colour photograph for every recipe.
oh that looks lovely, may have to get that book!
