Book Publishing Company is doing an online promotion called, "Luscious Vegan Desserts"!
Click here to enter to win a free dessert book or buy one! I was sent a review copy of More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally. It has a great collection of dairy and egg-free recipes ranging from cookies and puddings to smoothies. The first chapter detailed the essential ingredients and equipment for a "nondairy, egg-free baker's dessert kitchen." This was VERY helpful! My only complaint about the actual recipes was that they didn't have nutrition facts. The recipe I decided to try out first was the Virtuous Vanilla Cake. Of course, you may know by now that I have trouble following recipes, so here is a link to my modified version. I can't help it - I don't like being constrained :-).
I was quite impressed! The cake turned out kind of spongy and similar to a pound cake in texture. I loved the vanilla flavor and the sweetness level was perfect for me. I do regret not using coconut oil in place of the canola oil though. I used olive oil since that is what I had on hand. It worked out just fine, but it would have been neat to see how coconut oil would have worked :-).
Yay for cake that's full of wonderful ingredients!
Have a fabulous Halloween weekend!

I hope you have a wonderful Halloween weekend too! Thank you for sharing this with me...I adore making vegan desserts, but I don't do it nearly as much as I should!
