chocolate cake, was Tomato-infused falafel in pitas a vegan option

[Guest guest]

I haven't made chocolate cake, but I've experimented with lots of

" egg replacers " such as applesauce, prunes, ground flax

seeds, pumpkin, etc. My favorite is pumpkin. This weekend I made some

pumpkin muffins based on a recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. I used

extra pumpkin instead of oil, and a lot less sweetener, and added too

many chocolate chips to one batch. The muffins with chocolate chips

are incredibly rich, moist, and dense, especially when they are warm

so the chips are melted.

 

Some recipes from VwV, Veganomicon, and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over

the World are online at www.ppk.com.

This sounds delicious - I'll give it a go! On the subject

of recipes, could anybody help out with a foolproof chocolate cake

recipe? When I was a vegetarian, I had no trouble baking, but

since I turned vegan, cakes never seem to work. I've tried

various recipes, but they either turn out too crumbly, or chewy and

dry. My daughter has asked for a chocolate cake for her birthday

in a few weeks' time, and I'd love it to be a vegan one.

Thanks very much, I'll look at the website. I've never heard of replacing eggs with pumpkin, but will give it a go the next time I get a squash delivered in my organic vegetable box. Cheers, Kathleen
