Vegan Vanilla Cake with German Custard Frosting
This vegan vanilla cake is magical. It requires some experience and patience to make it, but the result is mind-blowing. The German custard frosting is light like a feather and has a very subtle sweetness to balance rich and moist cake. Yes, it is greasy AF but it stays soft and moist for several days…

Vegan Persimmon Bread (with Raisins, Walnuts and Pumpkin Seeds)
This vegan persimmon bread is incredibly flavorful, rich, soft and moist. It is loaded with sweet raisins, crunchy walnuts and pumpkin seeds, and a nice touch of lemon zest and warm spices.
