It's been a loooong time...
Well it's been a long long time and I'm not sure anyone reads this anymore but I thought to update.
So I became Vegan and I'm mostly going to use this to update on my progress.
Today I celebrated my corgi daughter's first birthday with a party. A few friends came over and we had snacks and played Resident Evil 5. I made a vegan chocolate cake with vegan chocolate mint icing. It was delicious, very different from a regular cake but worth a try for non-vegans alike.
It's very simple all you need is...
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar
5 Tbsp. oil or melted margarine
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
and then..
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Using a fork, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a 9-inch square baking pan. Stir in the vanilla extract, vinegar, and oil or margarine.
• Add the water and mix well.
• If desired, top with the chocolate chips.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool.
I would recommend baking it slightly less at first as mine came out a bit hard around the edges. I will post a bit later with other food updates. I should be going and doing homework :D See y'all~
