Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

Vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake

(AD) I can’t think of anything better than a decadent piece of cake to get me through a long and stressful week. If you’re looking for a yummy, sweet treat that’s completely plant-based, you NEED this vegan chocolate fudge cake! I don’t often eat cake, but when I do it has to be homemade. I’ve always found homemade to be so much more delicious with a better texture. Shop bought cakes can so easily be dry and far too sweet with not much else in terms of flavour. I usually make a cake when I have people coming over, but the restrictions that we all faced over the last year and a half changed all that. All of a sudden [...]

Having said all that, some mornings I wake up and the That's why I love breakfasts that you can prepare in advance - either the night before or a couple of [...]

Vegan Gluten-free Matcha Pistachio Butter Cookies

Vegan Gluten-free Matcha Pistachio Butter Cookies

Deliciously light and so pretty, these matcha pistachio butter cookies are the perfect treat to enjoy this New Year's Eve! I've taken a simple butter cookie recipe and made it both vegan AND gluten-free. Although I used oats instead of flour, it's not the healthiest dessert I've ever made as there is a lot of dairy-free butter in there and I used icing sugar to sweeten. However, it's New Year's Eve in a couple of days and if we can't enjoy an indulgent treat now, then when can we? Right? I dipped them in matcha white chocolate (I made my own by mixing matcha powder in melted white chocolate) and topped them with chopped pistachios to make them even fancier, [...]
