After my last vegan baking attempt gone wrong (RIP to the pumpkin cupcakes that refused to rise), I decided to dust myself off and give it another go. This time, I knew I had to find a vegan baking blog that was tried & true, so fate intervened when Little Blog of Vegan came up on my instagram feed. Her feed was filled with creative, plant-based desserts, and convinced me that vegan baking definitely offers just as many creative avenues for baking as regular baking. It was hard to pick which recipe to go with, but since I was still recovering from the pumpkin cupcake flop, I went with a simple 9-ingredient flourless chocolate cake (which looked more like brownies to me, but either way.. looked delicious).
