Some recent pictures from our wee world...
I made these cakes a wee while ago and they got devoured by all instantaneously! So I had to make them again, and again, and again! By far the best cakes I have ever made! I kind of just made up the recipe from many years of vegan cake baking experience! Luckily I wrote down roughly what I did so I hope these are just as good! MMM... yeah they are. I put a lot of chocolate in them so they don't really need a frosting, they always get eaten before you can do that anyway! The smell when they come out of the oven made my tummy rumble.
Here is the recipe! (vegan of course!)
Cherry, Chocolate and Rum cakes...
Ingredients:
2/3 cup vegan chocolate chips (I used chocolate buttons last time!)
1/4 cup cherry soy yogurt (I used Alpro cherry yogurt, one wee pot)
1/2 cup black cherry jam / preserves
1/2 cup coconut milk (or soy milk) (or chocolate coconut milk -oh my! :D)
3/4 cup brown sugar (or granulated sugar if you must!)
1/2 cup rapeseed oil (canola oil)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons of rum (I used dark navy rum)
1 cup and two tablespoons of all purpose flour
1/3 cup cacoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F and line your muffin pan with your cupcake/muffin liners.
Mix the yogurt, jam, milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and rum into a large bowl and mix until no large lumps.
Sift in the flour, cacoa, baking powder and baking soda and again, mix until there are no large lumps. Add the chocolate and give it another good mix!
Fill the liners until they are between 3/4 full and full and then pop them in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
They will be done and ready to transfer to a cooling rack when you can pierce each cake with a spike and it comes out clean (not covered in sticky uncooked cake ingredients!) :)
They are soft and spongey, I think the yogurt and jam makes them really moist and lovely! :)

Oh my goodness, these photos are adorable. And thank you for a delicious vegan baking recipe! I've been a pescetarian for 9 years and recently became lactose intolerant, so I'm pretty much there! Baking is a lot tougher now that I've switched, will have to try this out! x
You look gorgeous and cherry-licious! :D I am craving cakes right now... they look SO yummy! Your hair looks lovely as usual, you always give me inspiration to cut bangs in my hair... but I'm not sure if I ever will have the guts to actually do it! :)
Looks so yummy! I have completely fallen in love with your blog <3

teehee thanks ^..^ They were yummy, if I wasn't feeling so lazy I'd make more and just sit and eat them all :) Oh you should just go for it and cut bangs! Summer means your hair grows faster doesn't it!? So if you hated it you could just grow it out swift! :) x

If you could send some of those cupcakes I would definitely be on board! I think I'm going to print the recipe for my mother, who has decided to go from vegetarian to full vegan and I couldn't be prouder of her efforts. Your hair and outfit look so good with the cupcakes and sitting here reading about how wonderful they are before breakfast is making MY tummy rumble.
Thanks for visiting my blog, I hope you come back :).

I think your hair looks beautiful, I wish I had that colour, but after dyeing it black for years is taking a lot of work to change it.
