I Owe You a Recipe

Let Them Eat Cake!

It's been a few weeks since my Birthday, but this cake is still blog worthy!  My brother brought up some of his cookbooks, and I had a hard time trying to decide which yummy recipe to choose.  But when I saw this bad boy, it was pretty much decided.  Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter!?  Well I know who doesn't...my husband...but it was my birthday, so he didn't get to vote.  I got this one out of Sarah Kramer's book, In La Dolce Vegan.  

Here's my adapted version:
Happy Harmony Chocolate Peanut Butter Delight
Topping:
1/4 cup vegan cream cheese
2 TBS. all natural peanut butter
3 TBS. sucanat
1/4 cup Tofu
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Blend all together except chocolate chips, when blended-fold in chocolate chips.

Batter:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup spelt flour
1/4 cup kamut flour
3/4 cup sucanat
3 TBS. carob powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
 
Mix all of the wet ingredients, and all of the dry ingredients separate, and then combine them.  Grease 8 inch cake pan, and pour in batter, then top with pb mixture and stir in, then finally top with pecans.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 min.   

Loved it!  Happy Birthday to me!
