baked treaties

Sometimes it is not I baking treats for people; sometimes people bake treats and give them to me! This always excites me, because, as I have mentioned before, I like eating things. A lot.

I especially like baked things, because good vegan baked treats can be so hard to find. So it is a delight when people turn up and give me a container of baked treaties!

This post contains things baked by Jo in recent weeks, that I have eaten.



Jo baked a lemon and lavendar slice for the Aussie cookie swap (which, incidentally, has a number of vegan participants, so you should join!). This was very lemony, and the lavendar was really subtle. It was delicious, but very sweet! I could only have a tiny bit at a time.



Also delicious was this apple cinnamon cake. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it was kind of smushy and pudding-y in the middle, and a little bit dense and gooey, which made it really fun and tasty to eat. I would like to make this cake!

I would upload or link the recipes, but I appear to have lost them! SAD FOR ME.

OH WAIT UPDATE: Jo has dropped links + details of mods in the comments! They look like this:

Lemon slice
I used McVities digestives instead of Granitas, and instead of .5 cup sweetened condensed milk I used .25 cup soy milk and .25 cup sugar. Plus, I added dried lavender - I put maybe two tablespoons into the base, then some sprinkled on top of the icing. In the icing, instead of butter I used equal parts Nuttelex and Copha, so it would set more solid than just with margarine.

Apple cake
But instead of canned "apple pie filling" I just cubed some apples, sprinkled a little sugar over them, then microwaved them until a little soft, before using. I also used a lot less of the sugar+cinnamon on top of the cake.

Thanks Jo!
