Hello there!
I wanted to try something different today- baking! I really love cooking and since I’ve gone vegan I’ve been learning so many tricks and new recipes. I wanted to share a quick cake recipe that only requires two ingredients- box cake mix and soda. I also tried vegan coconut whipped cream, it was my first time making it and honestly, wasn’t as good as I had thought it would be. I shared a quick glaze recipe too.
Cake:
1 box of Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
1- 12 oz. can of Ginger Ale (or any soda)
An oil and flour for making the pan nonstick
Combine mix and soda until mixed well, minimal lumps. Grease and flour pan. Follow box instructions for pan size and oven time. COOL COMPLETELY before flipping it out of the pan… I think I got too excited and dumped mine early, causing the cake to stick.
Coconut Whipped Cream (if you want to try):
1 can of Heavy Coconut Cream (refrigerated 8 hrs+)
2 tablespoons of Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
Using a chilled bowl and beaters (15 minutes in freezer should do), whip all ingredients, slow at first and increasing speed, with an electric mixer until fluffy, 2-5 minutes.
Glaze:
Powdered sugar
Some liquid (play around with it)
I used lemon juice and vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients, more powdered sugar than liquid and adding more sugar if too thin or liquid if too thick, until desired consistency is reached.
Another alternative is to mix one box of cake mix with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of applesauce, instead of soda.
Please let me know if you try it out! Duncan Hine’s mixes are for the most part vegan, I think their angel food cake mix has egg, so watch out. Also their cake mixes typically go on sale and I have seen them as cheap as 10 for 10. The shelf life is pretty good so you could stock up for parties or that inevitable sweet tooth.
Let me know what you guys want to see next, more vegan recipes or anything?
I know this isn’t as funny as some of my other stuff, but it’s kind of hard to make baking into a comedy skit. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have fun!
Well wishes and toodleloos!
