Vegan Raspberry Zinger Coconut Cake

2012Feb 21

Pink coconut cream icing is lightly dusted with a layer of shredded coconut for this coconut cake.

I'm pulling out all the stops for this love-filled Vegan Raspberry Zinger Coconut Cake. Maybe it's because in my pre-vegan and pre-vegetarian days I used to love Raspberry Zingers. It's odd the things you give up when becoming a vegetarian. Most people think a little snack cake would be vegetarian, but these Hostess Zingers are made with animal shortening. That's what you call a nice way of saying "lard." I've decided I'm a better person for giving those up and now an even happier person for creating a vegan (and gluten-free) way of making the cake myself. I may be vegan, but that doesn't mean my sweet tooth will be denied!

Vegan and gluten-free chocolate pie with dreamy whipped topping.

It's time to dip my toe back into the sugar pond and the best place to start is with this Dreamy Almond Chocolate Pie. Sweet, but not overly so, and with the added value (and flavor) of a simple (and gluten-free) Chocolate Almond Crust, this pie has become one of our family favorites.

Double Decker Brownies

2012Jan 20

This vegan double decker brownie features a peanut butter cookie crust with a coffee-infused chocolate brownie on top.

Today it's time to take a little sidestep from all this overly healthy eating and enjoy some Double Decker Brownies. It's part of a new series I'm calling Free For All Fridays! Here's my theory, all work and no play can be kind of boring. Hmm, come to think of it, I don't think that's my saying. Oh well, let's go with it!
