My dd is turning 1 soon, looking for a yummy healthy vegan cake recipe...

[freethinkingmom]

I was thinking carrot or zuccini (sp). I'd like to do a tofu type of frosting. I could sweeten with maple syrup.

I'm visiting my folks and am far away from my cookbooks at home! Dd's gramma is throwing a birthday party and I want to have a cake so she isn't "left out" of the cake part!

Thank you all in advance!!!

I posted a birthday carrot cake out of my vegan baby cookbook before xmas sometime. it's refined sugar free too. i think the thread was called awesome vegan baby cookbook or something like that. i haven't got time to type it out again right now, but if you can;t find the thread & are interested, let me know & i'll give it a go later.

Hi,
One of the Moosewood books has a wonderful vegan choc cake recipe. You can do a peanut butter frosting with it or a few other glaze options that they list. I've made it many, many times for non-vegans/non-vegetarians and it is always a hit.

Uh, Julie, can I plead sleepy? Seriously, I was just perusing the threads in one of my fave forums and saw yours. Man, I'm still sleepy after all these years...

No problem, it was sweet to think back to that time and how life is different.
