If life gives you lemons...

Ehhh... make chocolate cake?

It's VeganMoFo, and which way to start can be better than chocolate cake?


Well, I finally gave notice on Monday, thank you all for your support, which is exactly what I was needing. The worst thing about these situations is that they actually make you think that you might not be right, whereas another person looking at it from the outside realizes that you are right quite fast.

I went to the doctor yesterday morally destroyed, and she gave me a sick leave for the rest of the week, so now I have some time to put all my thoughts together in one piece.

I was going to talk about chocolate cake, wasn't I?

About a month ago, I found Mori-Nu silken tofu in a Japanese store in Frankfurt. I bought a couple of packages and started thinking of the possibilities. My birthday was approaching, and I had to have a tofu cake. I just had...

(By the way, this Mori-Nu really makes a difference. It was a lot better than other silken tofu I've tried, and it tasted a lot better too. Now I understand everything...)

There was this chapter of Law & Order with the vegetarian extremists, and the police was so worried they were going to deliver a poisonous tofu cake! We're still laughing about that, man... I just couldn't resist making a tofu cake...

And where do I look a cake recipe? Tofu for Two, of course... I don't know why, but their sweets are always my favorite... And so I decided to try the Dream Chocolate Cake (with that name, who wouldn't?).

Everybody loved it. I ended up telling about the secret ingredient (you know? poisonous tofu of course), and they still loved it.

So last weekend, foreseeing that this was going to be a tough week, I made it again.



It's not a great picture, bear with me. It's rather dark outside these days.

I love the cake, but I don't understand why Anni and Heiki described it as "not very cakey at all". I find it totally cakey!
