Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Layer Cake
Eric told me that his favorite cake I had ever made was a Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake I made for his birthday a few years back. So I decided to make one again this year! Chocolate peanut butter is after all one of the best combinations ever! So I made my chocolate cake […]
Vegan Berry Rose Layer Cake
It’s tradition that every year I make my own birthday cake! I suppose I could just buy one, but it’s fun to make my own and pick a flavor. So no matter how busy I am at the time, I always bake one! This year I decided on a Vegan Berry Rose Layer Cake! Layers […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Lavender Cheesecake
I realized recently that it’s been far too long since I’ve made cheesecake. There was a time when I was making one about every other week, because it is one of my all time favorite desserts. It’s been a few years now though so I decided that I needed to make one last weekend […]
Vegan Marbled Banana Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel
Having over ripe bananas is always fun, because it allows me to think of something interesting to make with them! Banana bread is a go to but I thought I’d be a little more creative when I had some recently and make some Vegan Banana Marble Coffeecake with Pistachio Streusel! It turned out so yummy […]
Vegan Maple Date Carrot Cake
It’s carrot cake season! Every spring I have to make at least one, and so recently I decided to bake a carrot cake because it’s tradition and it just sounded so good! This time I decided to make a Vegan Maple Date Carrot Cake, because maple and dates go so well with the spices in […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Orange Doughnuts
I am loving all things citrus lately, and also anything involving chocolate. So last weekend when I decided to do some baking, I wanted to combine chocolate and orange since it is such a heavenly combination! I thought about making a cake, but I decided that it would be fun to make baked doughnuts instead […]
Vegan Gingerbread Cupcakes
It is finally looking a bit like Christmas around here with a bit of snow on the ground and not so brown outside. So I have been baking some festive treats! Of course I made some Christmas cookies, but also I have been craving gingerbread so I decided that I needed to make some. As […]
Vegan Maple Date Pumpkin Cakes
I am all about enjoying the pumpkin baked goods lately. It is something I look forward to every year, pumpkin spices and pumpkin treats rolling back around! Last weekend I was in the mood for some pumpkin cake, but I didn’t want to make a giant one, or one I had to frost, so what […]
Vegan Maple Apple Spice Cake
Since fall is finally here, and apple season is in full swing, I am all about the apple baked goods lately. It is the perfect time to do some baking now that it is cooling down a little outside. I was really craving some spice cake, so last weekend I decided to bake a Vegan […]
Vegan Apple Crumb Cake
It’s starting to cool down here slightly, the days are getting shorter and I can tell fall is knocking on the door. Apple season is here and I couldn’t be more excited! I love fall and all of the goodies that come with it involving apple, pear and pumpkin! I picked up some apples last […]
Vegan Raspberry Lavender Cake
Today is my Birthday, and the last couple weekends I have been choosing fun activities to celebrate it, because everyone gets a Birthday month right? So a couple of weekends ago we did something I have always wanted to do, visit a lavender farm! We went to The Lavender Barnyard in Farmington MN, and it […]
Vegan Vanilla Almond Rhubarb Cake
I have always loved all things rhubarb, so I get excited when rhubarb season rolls around here in Minnesota. My grandma used to grow a bunch behind her garage and she would always make the best rhubarb treats, especially her strawberry rhubarb sauce! It has actually been rhubarb season here for a while now, but […]
Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes
I have always had a love of all things lemon when it comes to desserts! I love tart lemon bars, lemon pound cake, lemon poppy seed muffins! There is just something so delicious about the aroma of lemon zest and refreshing about the balance of tart sweet lemon. I especially love to make lemon desserts […]
Vegan Lemon Pistachio Carrot Cake
I am sooo ready for spring and all of the things that come with it. It has been snowing for a few days here in Minnesota right now so it doesn’t feel like spring quite yet. Yesterday we went to a flower show just to escape the snow and cold and forget about the fact […]
Vegan Samoa Doughnuts
Samoas were always my favorite Girl Scout cookies growing up, what’s not to love about a vanilla cookie with chewy caramel, coconut and chocolate?! So now I love making desserts with that same flavor profile. I have made cakes, cupcakes, replica cookies, granola, energy balls. This time I decided to make Vegan Samoa Doughnuts! I […]
Vegan Strawberry Rosewater Cake
Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays to make desserts for because I love all things pink and berry flavored! So this year I thought it would be fun to make a Vegan Strawberry Rosewater Cake! I know Valentine’s Day is not for a few weeks, but I make stuff for the entire month […]
Vegan Marble Peppermint Cake
It’s not exactly a white Christmas here in Minnesota right now, we had rain last weekend, it is above freezing and it is rather brown outside. That is ok though. It is better for driving, perfect for running and I am still feeling festive as ever! We visited a Christmas market last weekend, made a […]
Vegan Marbled Pumpkin Layer Cake
We are getting into the final part of fall where the colors are starting to fade and it is getting more chilly. So I am soaking up every last sunny day before it is completely brown outside and the leaves are gone, enjoying running through the crunchy leaves (one of my favorite parts of fall). […]
Warm Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cakes
I love a good pumpkin cake, whether it be a layer cake a loaf cake or cupcakes! There is just something so quintessentially fall about it and enjoying baking it in your kitchen while relaxing on a crisp cool day! I was craving some pumpkin cake last weekend and I wanted something simple so I […]
Vegan Marble Birthday Cake
Today is my birthday, and I always make my own birthday cake. Most people are surprised when I tell them, but I actually like making it because I think it is fun, and that way I always get exactly the cake I want. I think making cakes is enjoyable and kind of relaxing! This year […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Mug Cake
Sometimes you just want cake, but you don’t want to make a whole giant cake, and go through the trouble of frosting it. Which is where mug cakes come in! They are perfect for a single serving of cake just for yourself and want it fast! Which is why I decided to make this Vegan […]
Vegan Tahini Chocolate Cake
I am a big fan of tahini. It is good in savory applications like hummus, dressing and sauces, but it is equally good in desserts. I had bought a bunch of tahini for making halva, and decided that a chocolate and tahini dessert will be amazing. What I decided on was a Vegan Tahini Chocolate […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Lava Cakes
A few years back I had seen peanut butter lava cakes pop up a few times on Pinterest and said to myself, I have to make those. They just looked too good not to try making. Of course the ones that I had seen were not at all vegan, full of sugar, dairy and eggs. […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Doughnuts
It may technically be spring here in Minnesota but we are getting some pretty wintery weather lately, like a few inches of snow and below freezing temps. But I am so ready for spring, so I am just putting up spring decor, and making spring food and pretending it isn’t cold outside. Things like carrot […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Layer Cake
I think I lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch for a while when I was little. I didn’t really like other types of sandwiches at that point (I hated everything with lunch meat, makes sense that I am vegan now) and they were just so darn delicious! My Mom always bought raspberry […]
Vegan Almond Praline Cake
Around the holidays I like to make candy, things like peanut brittle and almond praline brittle are one of my husband Eric’s favorites! I made some almond praline brittle last weekend, because I thought it sounded good, then I thought about how good it might be as an element of texture included in a cake! […]
Vegan Butternut Squash Maple Layer Cake
There was a chill in the air here, but then last weekend it shot up to almost 80F degrees in Minnesota! I have been spending a lot of time outside running, walking and just hanging out because we gotta enjoy the warmth while we can before the snow flies soon. But I am still enjoying […]
Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Apple Doughnuts
Last weekend Eric and visited a local apple orchard where you can pick your own apples. This week they were offering sweet tango apples which are a good balance of tart and sweet, so that was what we ended up picking. It was a beautiful day to walk through the orchard, the sun was shining […]
Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake
It is always a good occasion for cake as far as I am concerned. Which is why I decided to make this Vegan Vanilla Confetti Cake randomly this week. I had 3 weeks off from working between my old job and starting a new one and I am not used to having all of this […]
Vegan Brownie Caramel Ice Cream Cake
It has been warm every day here in Minnesota, and although I am somewhat getting used to it, ice cream still always sounds good. I like a dish of regular ice cream, but this week I decided that what sounded really good was an ice cream cake! I always loved Dairy Queen ice cream cakes […]
Vegan Blueberry Vanilla Layer Cake
For my Birthday every year I like to bake myself a cake, this year wouldn’t be any different. I had a Vegan Vanilla Blueberry Layer Cake in mind way in advance, I had bought the ingredients, then this week happened and I almost delayed making the cake (but didn’t because I am posting it obviously). […]
Vegan Raspberry Banana Cake
You would think that it being summer and hot outside would deter me from heating up my oven to bake things but it really doesn’t at all, because when I get it into my head that I want to bake something I go for it, hot kitchen at all. I am used to working in […]
Vegan Hummingbird Cupcakes
One of my more popular recipes on the blog is a Vegan Hummingbird Cake that I made years ago! It is something I like to make in the spring, and I feel like it is perfect for Easter and Mother’s Day! I recently was craving that cake, but I didn’t really want to make a […]
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Layer Cake
The weather here in Minnesota just seems to want to stay cold, in fact we had snow for Easter last weekend, and earlier in the week. But that isn’t stopping me from enjoying the flavors of spring and looking forward to a warmer season. We don’t really get strawberries here until the end of May […]
Vegan Peaches and Cream Layer Cake
Last week, I had the idea to make a peaches and cream layer cake. I admit I was inspired by some peach jam that I had just opened up that Eric’s Dad sent home with us when we visited him in Michigan last fall. He makes some of the best jams, and this peach jam […]
Vegan Zucchini Carrot Cupcakes
One can never get too many veggies as far as I am concerned. I try to get a large variety in my meals, so I sometimes like to add them to dessert as well, because why not?! Especially since you usually can’t taste them in there if you put them in things like carrot cake! […]
Vegan Mini Strawberry Cakes
I am sooo ready for spring! We are getting little glimpses of it here in Minnesota in between the really cold days, but I can’t wait until all of the snow melts and we have green plants outside again, especially towards the end of spring when early strawberries are in season! It will be a […]
Vegan Raspberry Vanilla Cake
If I were to pick a favorite cake flavor, this Vegan Vanilla Raspberry Cake would be it. In fact, this is one of the flavors we ordered for our wedding cakes. It was so heavenly, I told myself I would need to make one for myself at home sometime. Well, that time has come, I […]
Vegan Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Last weekend I was in the mood for something sweet. Cake sounded good, but what kind to make? Well, when I saw the huge pile of bananas on my counter when I got home, I decided something with banana was in order. I had enough bananas in the freezer for smoothies so I needed to […]
Vegan Matcha Mint Doughnuts
I can’t believe it is already Christmas this week! Time has flown, and as always this time of year is busy, so instead of making a cake this week when I felt like making a treat, I decided to make doughnuts instead! I like to enjoy doughnuts with my coffee sometimes on the weekends, and […]
Vegan Peppermint Mocha Cake
It was looking a bit brown and grey outside here in Minnesota, since it has been pretty cloudy lately, it gets dark early and all of the greenery has died plus we had no snow. That is until this weekend! I woke up to a blanket of fresh snow on the ground and honestly it […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake
Pumpkin is my jam ever since fall started. I make so many pumpkin cookies and scones at work lately and they always sell really fast so apparently I am not the only one. I have been making cookies, cakes, and pumpkin spice lattes at home, but what I I have really been craving lately that […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte Layer Cake
Everyone is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes this time of the year, and I am not surprised, since I am a big anything pumpkin lover myself. And, I admit that I buy them from local coffee shops. But they have to be good ones made with real pumpkin and spices not just fake flavoring. We […]
Vegan Cookies and Cream Doughnuts
I don’t normally buy store bought cookies, but since I was gifted a more “natural” version of some Oreo type cookies, and they tasted good, I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to make something cookies and cream with them! It was funny, because I had the unopened package sitting in the cupboard and […]
Vegan Apple Cream Cheese Coffeecake
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own I have been seeing all sorts of delicious apple desserts in my newsfeed lately, and have been excited to start making my own! I love a good apple pie, apple muffins or apple scones, but what I decided to make first was some apple […]
Vegan Blueberry Muffins
When I was little, on weekends my Dad would sometimes bake blueberry muffins, and I thought it was one of the greatest things ever. I got super excited when he let me mix the batter and eat the excess batter out of the bowl that didn’t make it into the tins. They were always […]
Vegan Matcha Vanilla Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
For my Birthday this year I decided to make my own cake despite being a bit busy, and that is why it has taken me a while to type up the recipe. I have been busy planning my wedding and I just moved a few weeks ago, and this was actually the first item I […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes
I love cookie dough more than actual baked cookies. Maybe I am weird, but that is the part of the cookie baking process that I enjoy most, eating the cookie dough! So, I like to enjoy it in other ways as well. I have made cookie dough truffles, and chocolate chip cookie dough hummus, and […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Roll
I was buying carrots for a recipe and all there was to buy was a giant bag of carrots, not the bulk ones I normally buy. I only needed one or two for my recipe but I bought it because they were an important part of it. I had a lot of extra carrots leftover […]
Vegan Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Roll cakes used to intimidate me, but now I find that they are easier to make than a layer cake because the frosting is far less fussy (if they have any). So when I had some over ripe bananas and I was craving banana cake this week, that is what I decided to make. I […]
Vegan Raspberry Bismark Cakes
When my Mom would take me to the bakery when I was little, one of our favorite things to get were the raspberry bismarks. We loved the tart raspberry jam inside of the sweet fluffy doughnuts with a vanilla glaze. We were talking about them the other day and how we hadn’t had any in […]
Vegan Irish Oatmeal Layer Cake
The first time I ever attempted to bake a layer cake, it was an Irish oatmeal cake. It was for my Mom’s Birthday. I had just graduated high school, and I was just getting into baking. It seemed simple enough after I read the directions. But…simple it was not for me at least. It seemed […]
Vegan Raspberry Cupcakes
I started this blog 11 years ago last week, and although it seems like I have been making recipes forever I still can’t believe it has been that long! I started this blog back in 2010 as a way to share recipes with others, since before that I had simply been posting them on […]
Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Cake
I haven’t made an actual layer cake in a while, so when I was craving chocolate cake this week, I decided to go for it. They are a little more work than other cakes, and I am a busy person, so when I have time to make one, it is usually a relaxing day to […]
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Roll Cake
For Christmas this year I thought I would make a yule log. Because they are so festive and so pretty! But I have to admit, roll cakes are something that I like to make year round because to me they are easier than layer cakes but you get just as much delicious filling! I like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
For Thanksgiving, part of the tradition at my house is to always have some fabulous desserts. Pumpkin pie is traditional, but sometimes I like to switch it up a little bit with the pumpkin desserts. I made some pumpkin creme caramel before and pumpkin cakes, and this year I decided that a vegan pumpkin pie […]
Vegan Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Roll
October is over and I hadn’t baked any pumpkin cake yet this year! I made other pumpkin things like pumpkin bars and cookies but no cake, my favorite thing! It has been a bit busy this Fall, more busy than normal it seems for me. But it is being busy with all good things like […]
Vegan Apple Pie Cupcakes
The weather has been fabulous here lately, and I have really enjoyed getting out and enjoying the fall colors and activities. Last weekend we went for a hike along the St. Croix and then made a stop at Pleasant Valley Orchard to do some apple picking. I normally do this earlier in the season but […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Roll Cake
Sometimes you just feel like making a really good chocolate cake. I was in that sort of mood last weekend. So I decided to make one. I had some raspberry jam on hand and I thought it would be perfect with a dark chocolate cake. I decided to make a roll cake, because a layer […]
Vegan Mocha Roll Cake
I feel like my Birthday crept up on me this year. There has been so much crazy stuff going on, and so many changes, including my kitchen remodel that just wrapped up a couple weeks back (thank goodness) that I forget what month we are in. But I still decided to make a birthday cake […]
Vegan Vanilla Cake In a Mug
It was Friday, at the end of a long week, and I was in the mood for some cake. But I didn’t want to go through a lot of trouble to make it, because I also wanted to relax and enjoy, so I decided to make just one small cake for myself to enjoy that […]
Vegan White Chocolate Mango Raspberry Cheesecake
I can’t believe it is already July! Time has flown this year with all that is going on, and I feel a bit out of sorts as to what month it is lately since I am not in my usual routine. I haven’t done much cooking and baking lately because my kitchen has […]
Vegan Raspberry Swirled Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecake has to be my all time favorite dessert! Even before I was vegan I would make it or buy it a lot. There is just something so crave worthy about the creamy rich texture, and I love that I can make whatever flavor I am craving at the time. I have over […]
Veggie Lentil Soup
It is so weird to think that 15 years ago I really didn’t eat any lentils, or even know how to prepare them. I now love them and make them at least several times a week, usually in soup form. Last weekend I felt like a classic lentil soup, not a chili, or a curry […]
Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Roll Cake
I was craving chocolate cake last week, but I didn’t want a layer cake, so I made a rolled one! It may sound harder to make a rolled cake, but it is actually easier and faster once you get the hang of it. Plus you don’t have to frost anything perfectly which is nice sometimes. […]
Classic Vegan Carrot Cake
Spring is finally here! Well, calendar wise at least, it is still a bit chilly but there are glimpses of it with the pussy willows popping out along the pond, and a few plants starting to sprout out of the ground, plus of course the longer days. After winter I am all about anything over […]
Grandma’s Banana Bread Veganized
My Mom made the best banana bread when I was little. It was my Great Grandma’s recipe, passed down to my Grandma, then to my Mom. Written out on a recipe card, from a time long before we could look up recipes online. I have tried many different kinds, we often had some at church […]
Vegan Peppermint Marble Cake
St. Patrick’s day is less than 2 weeks away, so it is the perfect time to make all things green. Especially fun desserts. Cakes are my favorite. So even though I made a green cheesecake last week, I decided to make another different green cake this week. Last year I made a peppermint vanilla cake […]
Vegan Grasshopper Cheesecake
When I was a kid, my Mom and I used to go to this local diner that had the best grasshopper malts. I loved those things. Smooth peppermint ice cream base, with gooey chocolate fudge, it was totally heavenly! So sometimes now, I like to create desserts with those same flavors. I have […]
Vegan Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cupcakes
Chocolate and oranges are a match made in heaven. My Mom used to buy dark chocolate oranges, shaped like an actual orange with sections when I was little and I thought they were the coolest thing ever. I mean chocolate is already the coolest, but make it shaped like and orange with orange flavor, even […]
Vegan Vanilla Berry Rose Doughnuts
Since it is Valentine’s week, I am using that as an excuse to make all things pink and girly. Yes, that includes making cards and whatnot, but desserts are part of that too. I had already made some chocolate, so it was time to whip up something else so I have a nice variety. I […]
Vegan Vanilla Cake
I can’t believe that I started this blog 10 years ago. Although it didn’t really start as a blog. It started out as a way to share my recipes all in one place, somewhere other than just in my Facebook notes. I was experimenting with new recipes all the time, and sharing the good ones. […]
Vegan Tiramisu Cheesecake
The first time I ever tried tiramisu was at an Italian restaurant with my Mom when we were on a family vacation. I wasn’t a huge fan of coffee at the time, but it still sounded interesting so I ordered some. It was fabulous! Layers of soft cakey lady fingers with a hint […]
Vegan Raspberry Rose Cheesecake
I know we are far from summer, but I am missing summer berries, so I thought I would make a raspberry cheesecake to remind me of it. When I was little my favorite kind of cheesecake was the kind with the raspberry swirls. Whenever someone had one of those cheesecake variety packs with all different […]
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Lava Cakes
After a hectic week last week, I decided that I needed to bake something chocolaty. Brownies or chocolate cake sounded good, maybe with peppermint. I had seen someone making some peppermint brownies on a morning show I was watching and the combo of chocolate and peppermint sounded amazing at the time. I didn’t however want […]
Vegan Gingerbread Roll Cake
I made some gingerbread cookies a few weeks back, and ever since then I have been craving the flavor in the form of cake. Not that there is anything wrong with cookies, but I am a cake kind of girl! I was thinking a gingerbread layer cake with vegan “cream cheese” frosting, revamping one of […]
Vegan Hot Chocolate CBD Cupcakes
This post is sponsored by Weller CBD but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. Tis’ the season for baking holiday treats, and although I love cookies, I thought some cupcakes were in order last weekend. We had just survived a snowstorm that lasted almost 3 days, and the sun was finally back […]
Vegan Chocolate Roll Cake
I had just made a rolled pumpkin cake and it turned out so well, I asked Eric if I could make him a chocolate rolled cake for his birthday. His birthday happens to land on Thanksgiving this year so we are kind of celebrating on different days before and after it since most places will […]
Vegan Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling
Cake rolls and jelly roll cakes were something that intimidated me for a long time growing up. So for a long time I was scared to make one, until finally a couple of years ago I made a vegan chocolate chestnut yule log for Christmas and it wasn’t that bad. In fact, it turned out […]
Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole and Vegan Sweet Potato Maple Cake with McCormick Spices!
This post is sponsored by McCormick® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. There are so many things to be excited about around the holidays! Seeing friends and family you might not normally see the rest of the year because they live far away, the celebrations, and of course the amazing food! […]
Vegan Sweet Potato “Cream Cheese” Muffins
Pumpkin has been getting all the love around here, I am not going to lie, I admit I get a little obsessed in the fall, since I am pumpkin deprived the rest of the year and it is one of my all time favorite things. But you know what else is my favorite thing? Sweet […]
Vegan Caramel Apple Cheesecake
I made a visit to a local apple orchard a few weekends back, and I still had some apples on hand, so I decided that I had to make something really delicious with them. Pie sounded good, but you know what sounded even better? A cheesecake with the elements of apple pie included. A caramel apple […]
Vegan Pear Spice Doughnuts with “Cream Cheese” Glaze
At one of the apple orchards that we always used to go to growing up, they always made these cinnamon sugar doughnuts that you could smell from far away because they always seemed to have the aroma venting out of the building as if to entice you to buy one. I never did end up […]
Vegan Cinnamon Roll Cake
At work in the deli last week, one of my coworkers decided to bake a cinnamon roll cake for our hot food bar. We don’t usually make desserts for it but it is always nice to swap things up, and a lot of people have a sweet tooth. Plus, who doesn’t like warm cinnamon scented […]
Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Swirled Cheesecake
Back when I first went vegan, I was really into raw style cheesecakes. I say raw style because they were not always technically raw, but they did not need cooking and many of the ingredients were raw. I probably made at least 75 different ones, because there was a point at which I made one […]
Vegan Apple Streusel Muffins
I made apple scones earlier last week, and when I still had apples on hand, I decided that I needed to make some more apple goodies. I usually make apple crisps and apple pies and that sort of thing but this time muffins sounded good. I don’t make them often after all, and I was […]
Vegan Marble Cupcakes
When I was a kid, marble cupcakes were always my favorite. I mean, you get the best of both worlds, chocolate and vanilla together! Also, they felt kind of special, because you usually would only get them at celebrations or birthdays! The weird thing is though, I have not really made many marble cakes since […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Muffins
Last weekend we took a trip up north to Duluth and we had to stop at a couple of gas stations along the way. I don’t usually pay attention to much in a gas station besides where the bathroom is on a road trip, but while I was in there some giant muffins caught my […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake
I have been wanting to make a peanut butter and jelly cheesecake lately. It all started a few weeks back when I made some peanut butter and jelly ice cream, and peanut butter and jelly white chocolates and I was going to make the cake right away but I decided to wait until my Birthday! […]
Vegan Snickers Almond Cheesecake
I loved Snickers bars as a kid. They were always the thing I traded other candy for on Halloween (well tied with peanut butter cups of course), because I couldn’t get enough of them. Well, as an adult I like to make my own home made healthier veganized version of Snickers, as well as Snickers […]
Vegan Strawberries and Cream Mini Loaf Cakes
I was planning on making something strawberry rhubarb last weekend but I wasn’t able to get rhubarb, so I just went with the strawberry instead! I wanted to make something I hadn’t made before, so I decided on a loaf cake. I don’t usually make them, since a lot of times I want cakes with […]
Vegan Mexican Chocolate Lava Cakes
Since Cinco de Mayo is this weekend, I decided to make something for dessert with a little kick. I had made a Mexican chocolate cake that was really good a few years back with a little bit of cinnamon and chipotle in the batter and that sounded good to make again, but I didn’t feel […]
Vegan Coconut Macadamia Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Frosting
This year for Easter, I decided to make carrot cake. How original, I know but there is nothing wrong with sticking with tradition. You know what tradition I miss? When everyone used to get all dressed up for Easter. I know some parents dress up their little kids all fancy, but I feel like the […]
Vegan Chocolate Beet Cake
I had two leftover beets from another dish I had made and I thought about juicing them because beet juice is amazing and packed with good nutrients, but you know what sounded even better than juice? Cake. Which was the other thing I was thinking of making with that beet. Cake almost always wins when […]
Vegan Peppermint Vanilla Cake
You know what I am super excited for? All things green outside. The snow is beautiful and all, but nothing compares to those first green leaves to start appearing in the Spring. It will probably be a while though, so I thought why not make something with a beautiful green color since I can’t enjoy […]
Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Banana Bread
Having over ripe bananas on your counter is a blessing as far as I am concerned. You can freeze them and use them for smoothies, or of course do some baking. There are so many things you can make! But I decided to go for an old classic banana bread when I had some ripe […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Lava Cakes
I had some leftover raspberry jam from another recipe, and I thought it would be amazing in a chocolate cake. But I didn’t really feel like making a big, tall layer cake. It had been a really crazy hectic week and something more low maintenance was more appealing. Don’t get me wrong, I love making […]
Vegan Triple Chocolate Cheesecake
It’s my 9 year blogaversary! 10 years ago, I randomly decided to start a blog to share recipes with friends and family since I was always posting them on Facebook anyhow. Little did I know that I would still be doing it 10 years later, or be reaching this many people! I have had fun […]
Vegan Hazelnut Flourless Chocolate Cake
I appreciate rich, dark chocolate much more this time of the year for some reason. Maybe because it is kind of like sweet comfort food, or because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so I feel like chocolate is in order, but whatever the reason, I find myself enjoying it more lately. Mostly just […]
Vegan Lemon Cheesecake
I have always loved all things lemon when it comes to dessert. Growing up, I loved those tart lemon curd bars with the powdered sugar on top, and lemon poppy seed muffins, or a good lemon meringue pie. I think I get it from my Mom, because she was the same way and tended to […]
