What have you baked today?

calleyw

made some scones. Not sure what I did wrong but they are rubbish.

A carrott cake and some brownies still in the oven. I will give most of it away. Just wanted to do some baking but don't want the calories :rotfl:

Next time I will make some gingerbread people. And I will eat one or two of them LOL!!!!

Yours

Can you post the recipe for this? Was it as nice as a cake made with eggs etc.? It looks fab!

http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4666/vegan-chocolate-cake.aspx

This is recipe I used with a few amendments:

- Doubled to fit 2 x 20cm sandwich tins
- Swapped the vegetable oil for sunflower oil
- Swapped the distilled vinegar for cider vinegar
- I used 4 rounded tablespoons of cocoa as heaped dried the cake out a little and level tablespoons didn't make it chocolatey enough

It's quite a rich, moist cake and you can't tell that it's vegan. My friend tested it on his workmates and they didn't know it was vegan until he told them For the fudge frosting I used:

- 110g of dairy free marg (I used the block form of Stork in the foil wrapper as it doesn't contain dairy, unlike the tub form).
- 400g icing sugar
- 60g cocoa powder
- 90ml unsweetened soya milk.

Put all ingredients in a metal or glass bowl, continuously stir over a bain marie until smooth, leave to cool and done! It's enough to cover and fill an 8 inch cake and looks like this:



Hope that helps!

Made some chilli and cheese scones, de-lish with HM tomato relish.

Haven't baked for months! My house now smells like a home.

Just put a dozen muffins and a tray of 14 scones in the oven. My pathetic attempt at Victoria sponge will go in next - no matter what I do and what recipe I use they're usually reminiscent of a couple of pancakes, but I keep trying!

Hi I've been lurking here - that vegan chocolate cake looks delicious!

I've just made banana bread (family are suddenly refusing eat bananas so they were over-ripe) and at the same time cooked a casserole of leftovers in the oven - smells great!

I'm curious, what size tins do you use and how many eggs do you use in your recipe?

I made a tray of cheese straws today, I needed to finish some puff pastry leftover from the last pie.
