happy birthday!

Today my blog turns one year old! This is my 52nd post, which means I have posted one post for every week of the year! Its a good start to something great, I can feel it. And to celebrate, I baked my first vegan cake! Yes, my first! I am not really a big dessert person, unless its a square of dark chocolate, but this birthday called for a cake :)

Here is the recipe I used to make this vegan carrot cake.

As this was my first attempt at a vegan cake, it didn't turn out quite right, it all ended up tasting delicious but the cake was a little too moist, and the frosting a little too oily, so I am just going to post the link to the recipe I used until I have perfected it.

I am determined now, to make the most perfect vegan carrot cake with creamy coconut frosting, so be expecting a revised and personalized recipe coming at some point! But in the mean time, give this one a try, maybe you'll have better luck than I did, and don't buy creamed coconut for the frosting, apparently its not the same thing as coconut cream.

And happy birthday to Almost Vegan! One year and counting!
