Desserts Done Right

Never much of a baker, I always kept my distance from measuring cups and hand-mixers. Until recently, when I realized that as parent to a 5 year old with food allergies, my best bet is homemade. So you have a one-bowl vegan chocolate cake from the Minimalist Baker at the top.

To the right is a dessert that is more up my alley. Simple, fresh and oh-so-pretty. Slice up oranges, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings, maybe a pinch of sea-salt, and be done with it.

And finally, we have a vegan carrot cake. It’s nothing if not labor-intensive but the end result more than makes up for it. Plus, it is really low on the guilt factor as you are basically eating veggies for dessert, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
