I've been meaning to make some sort of pumpkin-spice cake or cookies for a few weeks now, and I finally got around to it today. It is absolutely heavenly, easy to make, and better yet, its vegan!
I didn't take step-by-step pictures because, well, I mostly made it up as I went along. So here's basically what I did.
Ingredients:
1 box of Spice Cake mix (if you're going for a vegan cake, just check the ingredients on the box. The one I used was Duncan Hines Moist-Deluxe)
1 can of pumpkin (instead of oil)
Ener-G egg replacer (equivalent of however many eggs your box of cake mix requires)
1 cup of chocolate chips (*optional; make sure they're vegan - I used Ghiradeli)
Directions:
Follow the directions on the box of cake mix, substituting Energ-G egg replacer for eggs and 1 can pumpkin (or applesauce, if you prefer it) for oil.
I stirred in 1 cup of chocolate chips for good measure (because isn't everything better with a little chocolate?).
Use baking times on the box - mine baked for about 30 minutes.
Let it cool completely before putting on icing.
The icing:
Ingredients:
1 block of silken tofu
3-4 tbsp. lemon juice (to taste)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
a pinch of salt (to taste)
Blend all the ingredients together (using a hand mixer) until creamy. Spread over the cake once its cool.
Eat up!
