Vegan Carrot Cake Waffles
When I was little, I loved it when my Mom would make Belgian waffles. They were light and fluffy and so delicious! She made a recipe that used egg whites folded into the batter and they always came out just right. Now as an adult I still enjoy making waffles, and make them quite a […]
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 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 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 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 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 Peach Muffins
One of my favorite things to eat on weekends when I was little were muffins that my Dad made. Yes, they happened to come from a box, but there is just something so delicious about fresh baked muffins on a lazy weekend morning! I loved muffins in general as a kid. I would eat the […]
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 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 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 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 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 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 Neapolitan Ice Cream Cake
I always liked neapolitan ice cream. It seemed kind of fancy with its 3 flavors layered together and it meant that you didn’t have to simply choose one flavor of ice cream which was always hard for me. But I haven’t seen any vegan neapolitan ice cream for sale, so I thought I would make […]
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 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 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 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 […]
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Yogurt Cheesecake in a Jar
Cheesecake is my favorite dessert. It was even before I went vegan. I thought I would never enjoy it again when I had to give up dairy, but boy was I wrong! Vegan cheesecakes are even more delicious than their dairy cousins if you ask me. In fact, it was a raw cheesecake that made […]
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 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 […]
Vegan Mocha Almond Chocolate Waffle Cake
When we get to the end of the year, sometimes I decide that I need to make a recipe that I have had in my head for a while, yet never got around to making. Well, this year it was a waffle cake. I have been wanting to make a waffle cake since last year […]
Vegan Gingerbread Cake with Caramel Frosting
I realized this week that I haven’t made a layer cake in a really long time. Really long to me is 3 months, because it used to be that I made them at least every other week, or some sort of cake every weekend. I have just been pretty busy with the holidays and other […]
Vegan Black Bottom Cupcakes
When I was little, my Mom would bake some pretty amazing things. Mostly things that were passed down from my Grandma or from the old church cookbooks. Things like 7 layer bars, banana chocolate chip bread, or black bottom cupcakes. Black bottom cupcakes were amazing, especially to my 8 year old self. If you haven’t […]
Vegan Pumpkin Turtle Cheesecake
I see food items and recipes all the time that I say to myself I would like to veganize. There was a magazine next to the checkout line when I was at the store and said it was all pumpkin desserts. On the cover was the most glorious looking pumpkin turtle cheesecake. But of course […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Caramel Lava Cakes
Happy first official day of Fall! I thought it would be appropriate since it is to share my first pumpkin recipe of the season with all of you! My Mom recently asked me if I would make some pumpkin lava cakes, and of course I could not say no because they sounded amazing. I have […]
Vegan Almond Poppy Seed Cake
Did you know there is such a thing as poppy seed butter? Well I certainly didn’t until it popped up in my Facebook news feed from Raw Guru! I was intrigued, and I really wanted to try some! So, I was super excited when it was included in a box of goodies that they sent […]
Vegan Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake
I make my own Birthday cake every year, and half the time when I tell people that, they are baffled as to why. I even had someone tell me that it was sad that I made my own, and someone else should make me one or buy me one. But that is not how I […]
Vegan Carrot Crepe Cake
Whenever there is a holiday, I feel that a delicious dessert is in order to be served with the meal. Growing up there was always something for dessert, like the pies at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the sweet giant cinnamon rolls and Swedish rice ring that were always served with Easter brunch when I was […]
Vegan White Mulberry Pecan Caramel White Chocolate Cheesecake
I draw inspiration from many things. A non-vegan recipe I see online, or just walking through the produce department. Or, my favorite, when someone gives me ingredients to play with and make something fabulous. Vivapura was kind enough to send me some of their awesome products to use in my recipes, and I could not […]
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cake
An occasion such as Valentine’s Day, deserves the perfect decadent rich chocolate. So, I decided to make one last weekend. Eric and I celebrated early since the actual holiday is during the work week and I am working. We went for a long walk around Minneapolis in our favorite area, then hit up our favorite […]
Vegan Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Frosting
Today is my blogaversary! 8 years ago I decided to start a blog, just looking to share recipes with friends and family. I had previously just been posting them to Facebook but I figured that wasn’t a very organized approach, and I wanted them all in one place, so I created a blog on Blogger.com. […]
Vegan Double Chocolate Cheesecake (Nut Free)
Since that nut free Vanilla Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake I made last weekend turned out so good, I decided that this weekend I needed to make a chocolate one for all of you chocolate lovers out there. You know who you are, the people who can never resist anything chocolate, and always choose it over vanilla. […]
Vegan Vanilla Sprinkles Cupcakes
Sprinkles have always made me smile. On cupcakes, on doughnuts, on cookies…they are just so adorable and when I was little the little colored balls caught my attention every time. They were a must for most of my Birthday cakes growing up, and I remember begging my Dad to buy me and my friend a […]
Vegan PB & J Cupcakes
I make a dessert every weekend, it is just a thing I do. Not something simple like cookies, usually a cake, or a pie, or cheesecake. Something worth getting super excited over. Not that cookies are not exciting, but they just don’t get me going like cakes and pies do. I usually come up with […]
Vegan Banana’s Foster Cake
I wanted something spectacular for my New Years dessert this year. I just made cupcakes for Christmas instead of a layer cake, and although they were really delicious, they just don’t have the same pizzazz that a layer cake does. I thought about going seasonal, and making something snow related, you know, like a white […]
Vegan Peppermint Swirl Ice Cream Cake
I know it is Winter, and it is chilly outside, but I still love to enjoy ice cream when I am home and all nice and warm in my pjs. So, I still make ice cream year round, because it is fun to come up with new and exciting flavors, and I need something to […]
Vegan Mexican Dark Chocolate Layer Cake
Last weekend we celebrated Eric’s Birthday, and he totally lucked out because the weather has been fabulous and warm here lately and his Birthday didn’t fall on Thanksgiving this year. Some years it does and it is kind of not fair since who wants their Birthday on a Holiday when everything is closed and you […]
Vegan Maple Sweet Potato Caramel Mini Bundt Cakes
I am so not ready for Winter yet. It is technically still Fall, but it totally feels like Winter. The snow was flying last Friday, big fluffy clumps of flakes floating down, like the type you build a snowman with. It looked like a snow globe outside, and this was actually the second snow like […]
Vegan Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Chip Cake with Fudge Frosting
I hate to waste things. So, I have little containers in my freezer a lot of the time with odds and ends like extra strawberry puree, canned pumpkin or that 1/2 can of coconut milk in a container I had leftover. I find uses for it all too! Sometimes it doesn’t even make it to […]
Vegan Pumpkin Patch Coffeecake
When I was little, my Mom found this delicious Fall coffeecake recipe in the local newspaper, and she made it her own by adding oats to the topping, extra spices and swapping out a portion of the oil with more pumpkin. I always looked forward to it, it was so good! Like something that you […]
Vegan Apple Spice Cake with Caramel Frosting
Last week was 90 degrees here, so not very Fall like at all. In fact, Eric and I went for a walk, and it was so humid you would swear it was July, and he found some ripe raspberries still on the bush! They are never usually around after the end of July, so that […]
Vegan Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffeecake
The Minnesota State Fair has been going on the past few weeks, and it seems like everyone in the state is headed out there. I know most people go there to eat food, but in the past, I have mostly gone to look at stuff. I love looking at the giant prize winning vegetables and […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes
Last week was really kind of stressful for me, between being super short handed at work, and just being super busy. I felt like I was just mentally tired, physically tired, emotionally tired and I needed a hot bath, and a glass of wine, and a massage, and to sit and watch movies, or maybe […]
Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake
I have seen poke cakes on Pinterest and Facebook but I have never actually made one or tried one myself. Probably since most of them are made from boxed mixes and jello or already prepared ingredients and I prefer to do things myself. But I decided last weekend to make one, since I had lots […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Raspberry Layer Cake featuring Driscoll’s Berries
This post has been graciously sponsored by TheFeedFeed & Driscoll’s! All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting the brands that support me! Did you know that the Minneapolis-St Paul metro area is the raspberry consumption capitol of the USA? According to research by Nielsen Company, we consume more than 132% more fresh raspberries on average […]
Vegan Dark Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Caramel
I took a poll last week on Facebook to see if people preferred chocolate or vanilla and chocolate won by a landslide! I guess I am usually a vanilla girl, my blog is called Fragrant Vanilla Cake after all, but I guess I was surprised that it wasn’t more split down the middle. Chocolate is […]
