I haven't posted on here for *ages*! Still, in that time, I'm steadily heading vegan-ward and enjoying it all more and more. The coffee+milk issue was quite a bit one for me (noticed a thread going about that too so I guess it's not just a stumbling block for me!) but I've finally adjusted my taste buds to black coffee
The biggest problem I have at the moment is cakes/biscuits. I've got a definate weak spot for cookery books and have shelves of the damn things - so heading towards being a vegan has given me the perfect excuse to buy dozens more! Yey!! Trouble is though, I tried that delicious looking chocolate cake off the front of a Leah Leneman book and it was AWFUL In fact I didn't know whether to be sick or just laugh - it was totally bitter and the layers of cake all slid off one another!!
Attempt two was slightly better - an orange sponge cake. Again though, it was quite bitter. It was edible this time but let's just say I didn't go back for seconds.
Any ideas? Where on earth am I going wrong? Could it be becuase they were both made with wholemeal flour?
Are there any really good tried and tested recipes out there please? I'd really appreciate it!
