healthy cake”. And they did not intend that to be a compliment. The
constraints were set,
if I intended to
please them the cake needed to be not only eggless but also fluffy,
delicious
and tender rather than substantive. Substantive had been totally
acceptable

you are
sitting in your vegetarian kitchen wondering what to bake as a special
eggless
dessert for that all important event coming up: the
wedding, the shower, the 25th
anniversary, the graduation or whatever, wonder no longer -- this
is the
eggless cake to bake. A
real crowd
pleaser, this eggless pineapple coconut kefir cake was
originally designed for an engagement party
of a mere 1200 people, though you will find it scaled down to family
size here.
Having discovered a sure fire, work every time, solution to eggless
baking with
the eggless chocolate raspberry kefir cake, I was drawn to the delights
of the
tropics for this event. What does that mean? Why, pineapple coconut of
course!
This cake is so light and fluffy it almost floats off of the plate. It
is
simply superb. I use a thick pineapple filling and a coconut whipped
cream
frosting. Oh My! Enjoy! Fluffy

Orange Chocolate Cake Preheat
oven to 350º This
cake is
so tender, so chocolaty and so sweet-tart with the orange peel bits and
bobs in
it that it is bound to become as much a favorite in your vegetarian
kitchen as
it has in ours. It is simply superb. You
can even
make your own candied orange peel from organic oranges for this treat.
We’ll
tell you how below (or follow the link) however, here is a word of
caution on
that score – if you love candied orange peel and chocolate covered
candied
orange peel as much as we do -- you will want to triple the recipe!
MMMM MMMM
MMM! Yes! Eggless Chocolate Covered Candied Orange Peel makes a great
gift too!
So you will want to do that as a separate project which is scheduled
for a
different day. Prepare
two
18 X 11 cake pans
with butter and flour
and place a waxed paper liner you have cut to fit in the bottom of each
pan. 4
Cups

and Sugar for ten full minutes until it is very light and fluffy. Mix
dry
ingredients together. Add them alternately with the Buttermilk and RO
Water.
Pour into the prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until a tester
comes out
clean when inserted into the middle of the cake; the cake pulls away
from the edges
of the pan and is springy to the touch. Allow to cool on a wire rack for ten minutes before turning out onto a large wire rack. When cool fill with our Orange Cream Filling and frost with Chocolate Ganache or our Sour Cream Frosting 3a

Semi Sweet
Chocolate along with 10 oz. of Milk Chocolate. When melted whisk in 2

sprinkle with the

Eggless Chocolate
Whip
together
½ pound Butter with 2 pounds Confectioners Sugar until light and airy.
Add 1
Cup 3c
Eggless
Chocolate Covered Candied When
you are
at the market be sure to select organic oranges. Place 2 Cups of orange peel that has bee prepared in this way along with 1 ½ Cups cold RO Water in a heavy enamel covered cast iron pan (like Le Creuset) bringing it slowly to the boiling point. Be sure the water is actually boiling – then drop the temperature to a simmer which is 5 degrees less hot than a boiling. Simmer ten minutes or longer, drain well. In order to be sure that the finished candied orange peel is not bitter or tough, you will want to repeat the process 4 times; draining well each time. For each cup of peel prepare a syrup of 1/4 Cup RO water and ½ Cup Granulated Organic Sugar. Add the parboiled peel and cook gently until all of the syrup is absorbed and the peel has become fairly transparent. As
the syrup is absorbed and begins to diminish in the
pot, you
will want to shake the pot pretty consistently and also lower the heat
to
prevent its burning and sticking. When the syrup has been totally
absorbed lift
the peel from the pot and spread it on a wire rack which has been
placed over
waxed paper to dry. Decide
at
that point if you intend to candy it with granulated sugar or coat it
in
chocolate. If
you intend
to use granulated sugar then you will need to put 2 Cups of sugar on a
piece of
waxed paper and create a well in it. Lift the cooked peel into the
sugar and
turn it about, coating all sides of the peel. Allow to remain in situ
until dry
enough to remove to the wire racks again. Let dry completely and store
appropriately in an air tight container. You will want to prepare these
on a
dry day as humidity will present some major challenges to a perfect
product. 3d
Chocolate
Covered Candied On
the other
hand, if you elect to coat the candied orange peel in melted chocolate
then you
will need to proceed differently. In
order to
prepare the melted organic dark or bittersweet chocolate in your
vegetarian
kitchen you will need the following items: a double boiler, a wire
rack, a
candy thermometer, a room thermometer, and a nutmeg grater and a food
processor, as well as a candy fork. It
is best to
have your vegetarian kitchen at an even 70 degrees without a lot of
circulation
in the air – so turn off your kitchen fan. Grate
one
pound of Green and Black Organic Dark Chocolate, Dagoba Organic Dark,
Newman’s
Own Organic Dark or Semi Sweet Chocolate or you can use Callebaut
Belgian
Chocolate. In your food processor place the grated chocolate in the top
of a
double boiler over hot water. Keeping an eye on your candy thermometer,
stir
constantly until the melted chocolate reaches a temperature of 130º.
Remember
that chocolate requires your close attention. It is very important to
work
consistently with the chocolate as you don’t want the cocoa butter to
precipitate out of the chocolate and separate. Once the chocolate has
reached
130º, remove it from the heat and the hot water bath allowing it to
cool to 88
degrees. Heat
the
water in the bottom of the double boiler to 90 degrees before replacing
the top
of the double boiler containing the chocolate back into its place. Before dipping the candied
orange peel into
the chocolate make sure the peel is at room temperature. I
know this
sounds terribly finicky but by monitoring the temperature of the
chocolate and
the orange peel you will ensure that the chocolate does not change
color and
streak with beige or grey, or become toughened and brittle. Place
waxed
paper under the wire rack to catch any chocolate drips which can then
be
returned to the pot and re-melted for later use. Immerse the peels a
few at a
time in the chocolate and lift out with a candy fork placing them to
dry onto
the wire rack to cool and dry. Store
in
an air tight container. Variations
on
the Theme 3e Eggless Candied Organic Lemon, Lime and Grapefruit Peel can all be handled as you would eggless candied organic orange peel. 3f
Eggless
Candied
and Chocolate Covered Pineapple For Candied Pineapple use canned sliced pineapple. Drain well and reserve the juice. Dry the pieces thoroughly with absorbent paper towel. In a large, heavy pan, enameled cast iron, like Le Creuset work perfectly, add 2 Cups Sugar and 1/3 Cup Light Corn Syrup to the juice. Stirring constantly bring to a boil, add the fruit but allow it some room so that it is all immersed and is not overly crowded in the pot. Simmer until it becomes transparent. As the syrup diminishes shake the pot and lower the heat. Lift pineapple from syrup drain on wire racks which have been placed over waxed paper, until thoroughly dry. Proceed as above for chocolate covered Pineapple. 3g

Apricot Cheese Cake
This
variation on the theme came about when I inadvertently left a
pan of apricots simmering in water throughout lunch one day. They
cooked and
cooked and cooked until there was only a soft tangy sweet apricot
sludge in the
bottom of the pan. What to do? Obviously, find a use for it. Now I do
it on
purpose! If you love our Eggless New York Style Cheesecake and you also
love
Apricots, well, this recipe will definitely take you over the top in
your
vegetarian kitchen! Crust:

Chocolate Cheese Cake
My
Dad would
call any attempt at improvement on perfection “gilding the lily!” He
would ask
“When something is perfect just the way it is then. . . how could you
possibly
improve upon it?” To which we answer now as then “Silly, add chocolate!” Add
2 ounces
melted Semi Sweet Chocolate to above batter. Proceed as directed. Top
with
Chocolate Curls before serving. For
Chocolate Curls:
The
hardware
you will need for Chocolate Curls is: a double boiler, a flexible putty
knife,
a long off-set metal spatula and a baking or cookie sheet. Of course,
you will
also want some really excellent organic chocolate, like Green
& Blacks,
Newman’s Own, Dagoba or whatever your favorite might
be. Be aware that
some chocolate candy companies add bits and pieces of fruit and nuts to
their
candy bars which would definitely change the look of your Chocolate
Curls and
may not work well at all. Melt
Organic
Bitter Sweet or Extra Dark Chocolate in the top of a double boiler,
stirring
constantly. Spread on the baking sheet as quickly and evenly as
possible. Allow
to cool for about 6 – 7 minutes. The chocolate needs to set-up to the right consistency before you begin to try to curl it. If it is too cold and firm it will shatter into shards; however, if it hasn’t set up properly yet it simply will not curl. The angle to hold the putty knife at to achieve a perfect curl is somewhere between 33º and 45º though it seems to be an individual matter of personal comfort. Go for it. Experiment and have fun!
