WOW!!!!! Toffo, that cake looks fabuloso! What is the white frosting made from?
Gwydion, I made it up as I went along, using up what I had in the fridge.
Saute up onion and diced veg (I used a carrot, some French beans and um, can't remember, maybe some sliced red pepper.
Chuck in some Puy lentils (or plain green lentils) along with some stock (you could use a splash of wine if you like as well as stock) and some herbs (I used dried herbs de provence).
Cook it all a minute or three, stir in some tomato puree and cook another min, then tip into a dish and top with sliced potatoes (that have been par cooked) and some tomatoes and courgette, or whatever else you need to use up. SPrinkle with some herbs.
Pop into the oven at about 180 degrees and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Anyway, back to that choccie cake!!!

Great stuff and I love your blog JBrocks, I spent a good half hour going through it this afternoon.
What's in the tofu salad? Tofu?
Normally I use firm tofu and vegenaise, but no vegenaise here, so this time I used: silken tofu, lots of mustard and soy sauce, celery, scallions, relish, turmeric, and baby dashes of curry powder, coriander and garlic powder.
fab food y'all!

Hahaha, moist it was. Perhaps runny, if you will. I put in too much soy sauce...
All the cakes look awesome! And breakfastses. And Noodle's french bread pizza, I want it.

Great looking food everyone. Those waffles & cupcakes look v yummy Kitteh... as does everything else tbh lol. And I'm quite intrigued by your beetroot cake, noodle - it looks really good. Too much lovely looking stuff to comment on in this thread really but I'm impressed with/jealous of all of your culinary delights :P!

bexi - that beetroot cake it soooo good, it's from the "cook yourself thin" programme, which is decidedly non-vegan, but I changed the honey to light agave nectar, and the eggs to egg replacer, and made sure I used dairy-free dark choccie, and it tasted the same, so rich and decadent! I didn't frost it, it doesn't need it. Also I cooked it for 1 1/2 hours, not 2.
Here's the original recipe, just veganise! :

Yesm, the orig. recipe is by Dreena Burton - http://viveleveganrecipes.blogspot.com/ - but I use brown rice flour instead of wheat flour. I leave out the cocoa to make the white ones but I have made them w/ cocoa before, just as good. I also add a bit more oil or maple syrup to get the dough at a good texture ie. not to dry. Oh and I find you can leave out the agave if you don't have any on hand, but being a rawbie you probably have some! And obviously I leave out the mint choc. in the white variation!

Oh, that wasn't a scramble, more of just a mash. I'm no scramble expert, but I've seen people use silken for that runny texture, I bet it would work.

Thought i'd share these with you, as was a luscious meal: I've arrived back at my parents for a while as they are moving from old family house, and as i walked through the door i found my dad (the one man who did not understand my veganism) was cooking up a vegan lasagne for us to have. Roasted vegetables and a nice attempt at a vegan white source using free & easy cheese mix with fake parmasan sprinkles! Not only was it yummy but i was so unbelievably happy he had made such an effort.
