Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately so many of the traditional breakfast foods are not Vegan. Luckily there are some very creative recipes to help you out. Here is a favorite one in my household.

Question:
How do you make a good vegan birthday cake? http://lowfatveganrecipes.com/how-do-you… #vegan
RT @vegancook101: how do you make a good vegan birthday cake? http://lowfatveganrecipes.com/how-do-you… #vegan
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add the oil, vanilla, vinegar and water. Mix together until smooth.
3. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
You can replace some ingredients with other things, such as vanilla instead of cocoa. This is known to make a very tasty cake.
Use a good vegan cake recipe. I suggest picking up a copy of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. Not only can you make her some awesome cupcakes from it (or even adapt a cupcake recipe to a regular cake,) but you can give her the book as a birthday gift too. There are delicious frosting recipes in there, too. I like the Mexican Hot Chocolate cupcakes the best so far.
Happy Birthday to your sister, and congrats on her as a new vegan!
Do you have an idea of what kind of cakes she likes? (i.e chocolate, vanilla, carrot, coconut, etc).
4 good cake recipes:
An amazing Carrot Cake:
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
2-1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or allspice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup light brown cane sugar
3/4 cup cane sugar
3 egg equivalent in Ener-G egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups finely grated carrots
1 can (about 14 oz) crushe’d pineapple, drained
1 cup shredded coconut
nuts and raisins optional
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon, spice, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, mix sugar and eggs until creamy (works best with an electric mixer) – add vanilla, then add vegetable oil. Mix wet and dry ingredients together and add carrots, pineapple, and coconut.
I prefer a thicker cake, so I used a 9×9 glass pan. But if you prefer thinner cake with more servings, use a 13×9. Grease pan. Smooth batter into pan. Bake for 40 – 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Be sure to let the cake adequately cool before frosting.
Faux Cream Cheese Frosting recipe:
1 package vegan cream cheese 1/3 cup vegan soy margarine (like Earth Balance), softened. 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 cups vegan confectioners sugar
With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and margarine. Add vanilla, then add sugar.
This entire recipe tastes just like the real thing! It just made it last night and it is so delicious!
Serves: 9, Preparation time: 20 minutes
