This past week Mike celebrated his birthday and I decided to bake him a birthday cake.
I'm not a baker, but I must say that I have been enjoying baking more and more.
I grabbed our go-to baking cookbook, "The Joy of Vegan Baking" by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau and I got to work.
Mike's favorite recipe out of that book is the Chocolate Cake recipe. I also used the chocolate frosting recipe!
The cake came out perfect and delicious. Mike loved it.
Now don't laugh at the photo! I said it was deliciousness, not that it came out photo worthy!
The reason I wanted to write a post about this is because making the cake was so simple! I communicate with blog readers all of the time and many of them don't bake because they believe they couldn't do it, that it takes too long and is too complicated. The chocolate cake took less than 15 minutes to make!
Grab a recipe you think looks interesting and go for it! Make something delicious for someone you love or a neighbor or a co-worker. You will have a blast and you'll be able to spread vegan deliciousness which always is a win!
