If there’s no chocolate in heaven, I’m not going!!

This is the dark chocolate peel effect cake I created at Slattery’s.

Chocolate cake with fudge filling, coated in velvety dark chocolate ganache, dark chocolate fans, dark chocolate baubles and dark chocolate ‘peel.’

Stunning.

Vegan carrot cake cupcakes with vanilla frosting. Delcious!

Recipe taken from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World;

• 2/3 cups flour
• 1tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup soy yogurt plain (I used raspberry!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup finely grated carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup raisins

Oven - 180 C / 350 F

1. Mix sugar, oil, yoghurt and vanilla in a big bowl.
2. Sift in flour, salt, baking powder, spices and fold in.
3. Fold in carrots, walnuts and raisins.
4. Bake 26 - 28 mins.
5. Cool, frost and enjoy!

I used vanilla vegan butter cream icing, however I think these would taste even more awesome with vegan cream cheese frosting, if you are lucky enough to be able to get vegan cream cheese where you live!!

Ciao bella ♥

You said I must eat so many lemons, cos I am so bitter…

Here’s what y’all have been waiting for, my delicious, light and moist vegan lemon and lime cupcakes. I adapted the recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz’s book - Vegan Cupcakes (Amazon, £6.99). You will need a cup measure for this.

Ingredients;

• 1 Cup soy milk
• 1 tsp apple cider binegar
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup vegan margarine
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• Zest of 1 lemon and 1 lime

I kind of made up the frosting because I am not sure what shortening is… I used approximately;

• 1/2 cup vegan margerine
• 2 tbsp soy milk
• 2 - 3 cups icing sugar
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• Zest of one lime
• Bitter lemon food dye

and of course the obligatory dusting of disco dust, in lemon!

These came out super light, fluffy and delicious, they were obviously rated as delicious by all that tasted! 

Stay sweet you guys ♥

Cupcakes I have made recently, yummy yum yum ♥
