a blog for food lovers.

I love food! I mean, who doesn't right? I love experimenting with food almost as much as I love eating it. I want to share my recipes and experiences with others who might want to try out something new with me. Enjoy! :)

About Me:
My name is Heather. I'm 25 years old and still living at home in New Hampshire with my parents. I'm an independent contractor, and I mainly do promotional events throughout the New England area. I am also involved with promoting local and national artists and on occasion I'll get the chance to travel on the road with them. Photography and Cooking are big hobbies of mine, and my blog is my stomping ground to share them both. I hope you'll stick around for awhile, I've got a lot to share!

*NOTE: I am currently on tour representing the Keep A Breast foundation. I am living on an RV for most of the year and will be updating about food I cook on the RV as well as dining out eats!

Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

2 cups soy milk

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup canola oil

2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup all-purpose whole wheat baking flour

2/3 cup cocoa powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder  


1. Preheat oven to 350 F and oil your pans. Dust them with a little flour if you’d like. 

2. Whisk together the soy milk and vinegar in a large bowl, and set aside for a few minutes to curdle. Add the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract to the soy milk mixture and beat until foamy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in two batches to wet ingredients and beat until no large lumps remain. 

3. Pour into cake pans, making sure to evenly distribute the batter. Bake for 26-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack and let cool (10-15 minutes) before taking out of pan.


For the peanut butter frosting:
 1/4 cup margarine, softened

2 tablespoons shortening

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners sugar

1 to 2 tablespoons soy milk


1. With electric handheld mixer, cream together margarine and shortening at medium speed till smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla and beat until very smooth, 2-3 minutes. Beat in sugar; mixture will be very stiff. Dribble in soy milk a little at a time, beating continuously till frosting is pale tan and very fluffy.
