Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Roll

fullsizerender-copy-2Hello friends!

My dad has a bit of a sweet tooth. The one dessert that his mom constantly had around the house for the holidays was a fresh, homemade pumpkin roll (and pies and cookies and all that good stuff, too). But let’s not get distracted, I’m here to talk about pumpkin roll.

I also have a strong love for all things pumpkin flavored, and I don’t believe that these baked goods should be stuck in the month of November. No, they should be enjoyed all-year long. Continue reading “Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Roll” →

Recipe: Vegan German Chocolate Cake

Hello everyone,IMG_1880

I’ve known that my partner’s favorite cake is “German Chocolate Cake” for a little while now, but I never set out to make it. Perhaps I found it a bit daunting. Or I didn’t want to tarnish his favorite cake.

Well, I finally decided there is no time like the present. Like any good baker, I first did some research on the cake’s history and found a very basic recipe to veganize. It turns out the cake isn’t even from Germany! Continue reading “Recipe: Vegan German Chocolate Cake” →
