Cupcake Quest

phyllisOctober 21, 2012

Well. i tried to bake a vegan cupcake last weekend and it failed miserably. I could not take them into work they were so bad.

I tried to buy one with a five mile radius of my house in Stamford CT and while  I found a very pretty one, but the taste was awful.

But the silver linings ( yes there are two) to this post are:

I ran my first virtual race and it was a blast.  It was fun to join the Run with Jess facebook grouphttps://www.facebook.com/RUNwJESS?fref=ts  and sign up get the tshirt and record my time.  I will try harder and recruit others to run next time.

The baker at Mrs Greens gave me the following suggestion for a good vegan cake and ITS DELICIOUS!

He said its from the Depression when eggs and butter were expensive and people were forced to bake without it. Go figure.

 

Chocolate Wacky Depression Cake

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup cocoa powder

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together by hand.  Add all the wet ingredients until well combined.  Pour into a 8×8 pan which has been prepared with non stick spray.

Bake for 30 until done.  Allow to completely cool before serving. .  Enjoy!

So one day later, I am having my cake and eating it too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plus I ran 4.5 miles today so it is especially deserved!

    Appreciate you for sharing these kind of wonderful posts. In addition, the best travel in addition to medical insurance plan can often eradicate those concerns that come with vacationing abroad. A new medical emergency can in the near future become very costly and that’s likely to quickly put a financial stress on the family’s finances. Putting in place the suitable travel insurance bundle prior to setting off is definitely worth the time and effort. Cheers
