raspberry choc mud cake

finished

I got home from work on Tuesday to find Vegan Indulgence sitting atop my computer. It was published by Aduki just in August, and I only heard of it on Tuesday - it was Davyd, in this instance, whose vegan finger was on the pulse. The book looks fantastic. It's a tiny thing, $11.95 only, filled with things that look rich and delicious.

The raspberry choc mud cake was indeed, as expected, rich and delicious. I've been cutting the tiniest pieces, and still going in to some sort of temporary sugar overload.

This was my first attempt at a layered cake, and as you can see from the photo above it was a very messy experience. I think it would help if I had a spring-form pan, which I could then wrap around as I worked up the layers. But messy or not, it was still a tasty outcome (ie, cake).

Other things that look great: black forest cake, passionfruit melting moments, orange and fig slice.

I'm so glad you kicked off with this cake! It was the first vegan cake I ever made, and I'm very proud of the recipe. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book!

Kristy, I just tried the choc melting moments tonight! They were rich and tasty! Though I didn't make quite as many as the book said.

Hi Leigh! I've made two recipes now, and I'm really excited by how well they've gone! Thanks for sharing them with us. :o)
