Recent Tester Goodies

Being a tester for cookbooks is soooo much fun!!! And tasty, too!

Almond Lime Cake with Rosemary Lime Frosting, from the upcoming Vegan Girl's Guide to Life by The Urban Housewife. One of the best cakes ever!!! And the most beautiful! Sweet Potato Pie, from the upcoming Vegan Bakesale by Carla of The Vegan Year blog! I loooooove me some pie, and anything sweet potatoes, too. Perfect combo!

And finally, Chocolate Cereal Squares, also from the Vegan Bakesale cookbook. So much crispiness and chocolatiness all in one!!! Yummmm!

I've Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day...

It's been pretty cloudy and rainy here in Missouri over the past week or so, but my days have been brightened up with little ray of sunshine: Citrus Bundt Cake! This is a tester recipe for the upcoming Vegan Bakesale cookbook (courtesy of Queen V from the Vegan Year blog!). Let me tell you, this cake is absolutely perfect!!! So much citrus to make any day feel sunny, but not overpoweringly so to where it tastes like lemon cleaner! And this is truly the moistest cake I've ever eaten. Ever. The bundt cake got drizzled with an Agave Citrus Glaze, another Vegan Bakesale test recipe...for even more of a sweet and tart punch.Since cake and ice cream are made for each other, I did my culinary duty and paired this lovely, citrus-y cake with some simple vanilla soy ice cream (I used So Delicious this time). And it was just awesome!!
