Chocolate Cake with Vegan Chocolate Ganache

This cake is the proof that being vegan doesn't mean you having to miss out on anything - and that includes a good chocolate ganache! This recipe is super simple with no "fancy" ingredients (that's what we like!) and it makes the perfect celebration cake! Ridiculously easy to make and the ganache only calls for two ingredients, you really need to try this yourself to believe how good it is!

Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

As I'm sure you've all realised by now, I'm a big chocolate fan. You can guarantee that if there's a recipe where chocolate can be involved, I'll make sure it is. Recently I was craving making something minty, and as in recent weeks I'd been indulging in a few too many dark chocolate/ mint chocolate combinations I knew it was going to be a chocolatey minty creation. 

Vegan Chocolate Orange Brownies

This year is going to be the first year in my life (that I can remember) where I won't be having a Terry's Chocolate Orange 😱 So unless some miracle happens before Christmas and a vegan version of a chocolate orange appears I'll have to make do with these Vegan Chocolate Orange Brownies!

Gluten Free + Vegan Chocolate Cake (Nut Free)

This was a big, new, scary challenge for me. Past attempts at making anything gluten free have not gone well for me - I'm talking dry, falling apart cakes that just did not taste great. Last week I was invited to attend a birthday party for my sister-in-law and her fiancé and I offered to make a cake for them. This was a big take-on for me, as I needed to make it vegan and gluten free to be able to suit everyone's dietary needs at the party. Well, I'm glad to say it turned out pretty well and everyone said it was super tasty!! This recipe for a gluten free and vegan chocolate cake doesn't require any fancy ingredients that you can't find at most good supermarkets, always a bonus!

Blueberry Loaf Cake with a White Chocolate Topping

Last week whilst food shopping I spur of the moment picked up some blueberries with no real idea what I was going to make with them, which meant they ended up going in the freezer to prevent them going off whilst I decided what to do with them. The next day I picked up some vegan white chocolate, again with no clear idea what I was doing with it. Both these ingredients sat in the back of my mind for a few days before I decided that I would be making a loaf cake with the blueberries, as blueberry muffins are something I already knew I could do (and they've already been featured on my blog...) and I'd never made a blueberry loaf cake, ever!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

To be totally honest with you, the reason I made these cookies was simply that I wanted comfort food! Since turning vegan I've been unable to simply pop down to the shops and grab a bag of fresh baked cookies from the bakery section, I have to put more effort into getting my sugar fix!

Chocolate Beetroot Cake (Vegan)

I made this Chocolate Beetroot Cake for my parents' 30th Wedding Anniversary, and it went down a treat! This was the first time I had attempted making a vegan cake since turning vegan and thank goodness it worked!

Vegan Cookie Dough Truffles

These truffles are such a treat. Something that you just want to eat 5 in a sitting treat. Or more, you know, if you're feeling wild 😜Seriously though these cooke dough truffles are super tasty and super vegan. I always feel like such a winner when I make tasty vegan treats, not that there's anything too complicated to it, but just that I've succeeded again in proving that vegan doesn't equal boring!

Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Donuts

If you've read my blog before, you'll know I am getting really into making donuts (baked donuts that is) since purchasing these silicone donut pans. I love experimenting with new flavours, and seeing as mint and chocolate are up there with my favourite flavour combinations, it would be rude to not make it into a donut!

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

I don't even know where to start with this cake. 

Just look at that icing.

This is quite possibly one of the yummiest cakes I have ever made and I am so pleased to be able to share it with you all.

Double Chocolate Chip Candy Cane Cookies ~ Vegan

As it's December, I thought it was time to start some Christmas themed baking, and what's more Christmassy than candy canes! 

Vegan White Chocolate Gluten Free Cookies

I am beyond pleased with how these cookies turned out - they were crunchy on the outside but wonderfully soft on the inside. This is also the first time (I'm 99% sure it was the first time!) that I've made gluten free cookies... bonus points, they're also vegan!!

Homemade Vegan Maltesers

These have long been on my list to try and "veganize" - and as far as I know there aren't any vegan maltesers available on the market... so I decided to make them myself!

Vegan Orange and White Chocolate Donuts

As you can probably tell from all my donut related posts recently, I've been really enjoying using my new donut pans! These donuts are wonderfully tasty, with the zesty orange and the smooth white chocolate complementing each other beautifully.

Chocolate Orange Cookies (Vegan + Nut Free)

The idea behind this recipe is a totally selfish one from my part. My boyfriend was enjoying some store bought chocolate orange cookies, and obviously they're filled with dairy and eggs so a total no-go for me, so I decided why not make my own?!

Vegan White Chocolate and Raspberry Cookies

Since giving up dairy and eggs, I feel like I've really been missing the supermarket cookies you see her in the UK. I've made my standard chocolate chip, double chocolate - but I knew there was one more I needed to try (not oat and raisin, does anyone actually like them?!). Obviously White Chocolate and Raspberry!

Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffins

These Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins are really something else - the combination of chocolate and banana is one I use regularly, although it can take a little bit of skill to master. Not sure if I should call it skill, but rather careful mixing, as the chocolate and banana can make the batter a little heavy and more difficult to bake, don't let this deter you from making it though, I promise it's worth the effort!

Christmas Reindeer Shortbread Biscuits (Vegan)

A few years ago I had some friends over for a movie night at Christmas time and my friend brought me some shortbread made to look like reindeer, with chocolate covered pretzel antlers and cute little red noses. I knew I needed to have a go at them and make myself some cute Christmas reindeer shortbread biscuits!

Vegan Chocolate and Banana Bread

This chocolate and banana cake is something I used to make all the time a few years ago. Since then I've cut out dairy and eggs, so I've had to improvise a bit in order to still make such a rich and tasty cake.

Beetroot, Chocolate and Cherry Birthday Cake ~ VEGAN

This cake was made for a non-vegans birthday, to eat with a group of non-vegans, and they all loved it! In hardly any time you can rustle up a birthday cake fit for the cover of a food magazine!
