Some Things Vegans Eat - Baked Yums!
Vegans don't only eat tofu and veggies. We also love cake - at least, I do. Cake, and muffins, cookies, bagels, and pretty much anything sweet and/or chocolatey. This edition of Some Things Vegans Eat is dedicated to delicious, delicious baked goods.
Carrot-pineapple muffins, each with a little pineapple chunk in the top. These were more cake than muffin and made a fantastic snack at uni.
This is an improvised marmalade cake, which was only okay. To be honest, the only reason I made it at all is because I had a severe craving for Macho Fudge Sauce, from Urban Vegan. This sauce is rich and hearty, and I thought I should probably put it on something, rather than just eating it alone. The cake made an excellent vessel for the still-warm fudge sauce.
Once refrigerated, Macho Fudge Sauce thickens right up, making it dollop-able.
But when you leave it at room temperature it become spreadable, so we cut the cake in half and sandwiched some Macho Fudge Sauce in the middle. And spread some on top. Sure, this is a bit of a cheat - I just showed you the same cake with the same topping three times. But it was gooood, so it deserves it.
Andy made this chocolate-orange cake, with okara, and topped it off with a spiced orange glaze. This was really good.
Bagels with sultanas and sunflower seed - great for breakfast, or a perfect afternoon snack.

These desserts look so appetizing!!
