Hello Lovelies, now that the girls birthday celebrations are over I can move on and totally get involved and enjoy all Christmas related things. I'm currently working on recipes for a delicious vegan Christmas menu and will hopefully share them with you soon. It will include ideas for a soup, salad, main dish and desert- everything vegan of course. And I would also love to create a festive cocktail. So I might shorten my writing here a bit and post more recipes, but I mean thats what you are here for, right?!
So the first recipe I want to share with you today is for a Christmas inspired cake, that is very close to my heart. It has been my Dad's favorite cake and I can't even tell you how many times he made it. We all really loved it and that's why I really wanted to create a vegan version (the original recipe was from one of those woman magazines, hehe my Dad always bought them because he liked the crosswords - and the recipes :-). I had to exchange a lot off ingredients and also improves a bit. We changed the canned apricots that the recipe asked for to fresh persimmon, since I never use canned fruits (except jackfruit)! And the result was surprisingly very delicious from the first attempt. My mom and I have been very happy and it was as good as we remembered it to be.
So here is the recipe:
