2-year-old Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday, my dear Gabrielle...... I hope to make you a lovely birthday cake every year!

Vegan Chocolate Cake

Recently my little one has been saying "chocolate cake, chocolate cake, yummy...". Honestly, I had never given her chocolate cakes before.  I think she must have had it in childcare center, sigh....

Anyway, this is an awesome recipe for chocolate cake lovers especially for vegans.  My very first time to try an "eggless" cake recipe and the cakes turned out really well, surprisingly moist, yummy!

Well, actually, I once made an eggless cake, not on purpose, but by mistake.  I remember there was a time I forgot to put eggs when making a cake and it turned out rather dense, but, it was still quite nice to eat.  My dad said "a cake cannot be called cake without eggs in it!" (well, if you speak Chinese, you'll know what he meant!).  I think he's wrong this time, haha!
