DID YOU MAKE THESE MUD CAKES CAUSE YOU WANTED TO PROVE TO YOUR PARENTS THAT VEGANISM ISN’T ABOUT EATING GRASS?
Tag @veganbakesbysarakidd on Instagram and hashtag it #veganbakesbysarakidd so we can show other peeps that grass isn’t on the menu.
These are delicious! I used wholemeal self raising flour, it is organic and stoneground, so fairly fine texture. Also used golden syrup instead of molasses as I didnt have any. I could have eaten the uncooked batter with a spoon! I used cupcake cases and the cakes are yummoh!!! Thank you Sara
Thanks so much Maree! Glad you loved them
So I’ve made these three times now. The first time I pretty much stuck to the recipe but used Nuttelex not shorteningand carob molasses cause thats what I had on hand. Third time I omitted the mollases water and cinnamon.( I prefer them without cinnamon). I leftbout the water and molasses accidentally but they we’re still absolutely delicious!
Thanks Sara!!!
Thanks beautiful lady!
