2022-08-10 11:56:50 +0000 UTCHi there, it's in the comments on the Youtube video. If you click the "YouTube" logo, it will load in YouTube, and then you can see the recipe below the video. The cake is DELICIOUS! Lots of fat in it, but holy jesus it's good LOL

2022-07-08 03:58:59 +0000 UTCI made the cake for Mother's Day weekend and I'm curious...I think the cake needs to actually cool in the oven, so bake for 35 minutes, then turn off the oven and wait for everything to come to room temp (Like you would a cheesecake).. When I baked this cake, at 35 minutes, mine was still liquid in the center at 35 minutes. I ended up baking 3 cakes of this, I made cake pops for my son's 3rd grade class (added mini choco chips & dipped in vanilla candy coating with sprinkles). So the cakes I made, I ended up cooking for 45 minutes on 350. No matter what I did, they deflated, so this is why I'm thinking it has to actually cool in the oven. Sorry for the ramble - the cake recipe itself is DIVINE...amazing how butter, fat, and sugar do such magical things..lol Thank you so very much for sharing the recipe, Christine!

2022-05-16 18:59:47 +0000 UTCAbsolutely amazing, as always. I wish I were getting married so Christine could make this for my wedding!

2021-11-18 03:20:04 +0000 UTCI love this! My kids and I began the process of going vegan about 6 months ago. The hardest part is definitely the beginning since you have to relearn how to cook and bake without eggs and dairy. After that ... It's a cinch! I really appreciate all the hard work you put in to conquer this challenge. This cake looks delicious ! Thank you for sharing it with us !

2021-10-09 04:55:33 +0000 UTCThey sell cake strips for the outside of the pans to bake evenly for anyone who doesn’t want to cut a cut pink towel. 😉

2021-10-09 04:55:19 +0000 UTCI think in this case it's not an all-or-nothing black and white situation. My aunt has chickens, we eat their eggs when we are visiting/nearby, and in general my immediate family gets our eggs locally from a farm which isn't engaging in that kind of behavior- so while many factory farms' eggs aren't produced humanely, it's okay IMO to do some research and find a humane place to source eggs. We are carnivores/omnivores in general and there are some things we can only get from non-vegan sources. I also have IBS and cannot eat a lot of fruits and veggies!! I feel like if you can buy locally from a farm that is engaging in humane practices, I see no issue in getting eggs. Just as your fruits and veggies (and chocolate) ideally shouldn't be coming from large companies that engage in inhumane labor practices/environmentally destructive farming practices, either (see: oat products., avocados, quinoa). I fully respect & support people wanting to do the best thing they can and not wanting to participate in factory farming!!

Misty McIntyre Goodsell
2021-09-14 14:24:04 +0000 UTCThat being said, I still buy eggs since many of the protein alternatives available in a plant based diet bother my stomach (IBS sucks)…
Meredith Kiyomura
2021-09-06 23:46:19 +0000 UTCHi Cora I was curious about this too. The issue with buying eggs has to do with male chics being culled. Every year in the US 300 million male chicks are killed at hatcheries that solely raise chicken breeds for egg production. Hatcheries cannot tell if a fertile egg is carrying a male or female chicken. Once the egg hatches and they find that it is a male they get ride of them. Vox has article about it https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22374193/eggs-chickens-animal-welfare-culling
Meredith Kiyomura
2021-09-06 23:42:01 +0000 UTCI get the plant based diet because I eat primarily plant based. However chickens will lay eggs regardless if you eat them or not. So why not use then in baking? It doesn’t hurt the chicken. I guess I have a different outlook because I have my own chickens. And they just lay eggs, so I get them. Also another alternative is using plant based butter and egg substitute, or apple sauce. Those work great when I bake vegan

2021-08-20 18:47:09 +0000 UTC1. Designing and sewing miniature Victorian attire for the cats and Gertie to wear 2. Nothing makes me feel at home more than someone’s pets- so again, the cats and Gertie. 3. I convince the town to bury a time capsule and I secretly bury the body in the same location. The spot remains untouched until 100 years in the future when the townspeople dig up the capsule, by which time I shall be very dead.

2021-08-14 23:59:03 +0000 UTC1. Any kind of Halloween decorations because it’s my favorite holiday. 2. I would bring my own pillow 🤷🏻♀️ But the host having pets always bring a level of comfort to me since I’m an animal lover. 3. I guess since I live near the coast the best way to get rid of a body would be Dexter’s method, although I easily get motion sickness.

Maybe we can each keep one shoe. 2. A freshly washed blanket and some Iranian cardamom tea! I’ll bring some if you're all out! 3. Where to hide a body…Make it a coat rack! just widdle the bones into a base and upholster with skin. The coats will do all the covering up necessary! I'll need some help suturing the seams.

2021-08-13 15:43:26 +0000 UTCI’m curious who Rachel Cherry is. My husband found all these videos streaming on that account. I’m a patron and usually play these unlocked videos through Patreon (which plays them on YouTube). My husband found these same videos via a suggestion from YouTube which took him to Rachel Cherry’s account. She has 55 Christine McConnell videos in her playlist. I’m confused 😳

2021-06-13 12:04:24 +0000 UTCThank you for putting so much effort into creating a delicious plant-based recipe! I love that your actions align with your love of animals and I think it's really important to continue speaking about it. I'm also plant-based and my fiance and I are planning an entire fall harvest vegan menu for our wedding this September.

2021-06-11 05:49:45 +0000 UTCVanilla Marshmallow Cake Ingredients: 3/4 Cup Soft Miyoko's Butter 1 Cup Cane Sugar 1 Tbsp Vanilla 1 1/4 Cups Soy Milk 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 2 1/4 Cups and All Purpose Flour 4 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder 1/2 Tsp Salt 2 cups Dandies Mini Marshmallows 1/8 cup Butter 1/2 Heavy Coconut Cream 350 Degrees for 35 minutes (Don't open oven before hand) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Prepare your pan as shown in tutorial In a stand mixer (or large bowl using a hand mixer), combine 3/4 cup soft Butter, 1 cup Sugar, 1 tbsp Vanilla. Cream together set aside. In a glass bowl mix 1 and 1/4 cups Soy Milk and 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar. Whisk together and set aside. This creates a plant based version of buttermilk. In a saucepan combine 1/8 cup Plant based butter, 1/2 cup Coconut Cream (The solid part at the top of the can) and 2 cups Dandies miniature Marshmallows. mix together and set aside In a large metal bowl with a sifter placed on top add 2 1/4 cups all purpose Flour, 4 and 1/2 tsp Baking Powder, and 1/2 tsp Salt. Sift together and then whisk to full combine Heat saucepan with marshmallows on stove with medium heat mixing constantly until marshmallows are nearly dissolved. Then pour marshmallow mixture into your stand mixer with your butter and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Remove bowl from stand mixer. In quick succession, add half buttermilk mixture and half flour mixture into the bowl you removed from the stand mixer. Mix quickly. Then add the remainder of the buttermilk and flour. Mix quickly and scoop into the prepared pan. Smooth top with a spatula and place on middle rack of 350 degree oven (Do this quickly so less heat escapes the oven). Bake for 35 minutes and do not open the oven before the time is up (it will cause the cake to deflate) Once time is up, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. After that time, you can release it from the springform pan. If you plan to create a sculptural cake with this, chill it in the fridge before cutting and stacking. If you've made this as a dessert for the same day, slather with buttercream and serve warm (It will taste incredible) Buttercream Frosting 1 cup Miyoko's butter - One box (cool room temp) 3 cups confectioners sugar 2 tsp Vanilla 1/2 tsp Salt In a stand mixer or large bowl with hand mixer, cream butter. Add one cup of confectioners sugar (powdered sugar) at a time and mix thoroughly before adding the next cup. Add 2 tsp Vanilla and 1/2 tsp salt. Beat together until fluffy then slather on cake, fill a pastry bag or chill until ready to use.

2021-06-02 14:23:30 +0000 UTCOn the YouTube channel You've Been Desserted he has an amazing looking vegan chocolate cake. He's not a vegan baker, so it may not come up in your research, but it's the only chocolate cake recipe he uses.

2021-06-01 22:52:47 +0000 UTCI have a challenge for you now that you’ve conquered no eggs and dairy.....how about alternative flour like almond or coconut? I do Whole 30/Paleo/sugar free and trying to bake this way is kinda hard. I’d love to see how you’d tackle this.

Luke Johnson
2021-05-31 16:13:08 +0000 UTCI loved the comment about the 70s stove! Like you I am super interested in having an awesome kitchen. I couldn't find anyone willing to make the cabinets like I wanted for my kitchen, so I'm building them myself with all the details befitting of a 1912 bungalow. When I'm finished, it will look like it is original to the house. That said, there is a cabinet shop not far from you (about 2-1/2 hours in Claremont, NH) that has some incredible craftsmanship the likes of which is rare these days. You might give them a look. Check out their Victorian cabinets. They seem like the type that could build following your designs. They are at www.crown-point.com

2021-05-31 01:26:30 +0000 UTCLovely! I had the oddest experience after you cut the cake ... I smelled in the air the essence of the cake! ( thru my cell phone must be 5D). It lasted a couple of minutes... thought I’d lost my mind so I made it and BAM exact smell that went across me... MAGICAL Christine! ❤️thank you very yummy

Kaela PerLee
2021-05-30 05:08:02 +0000 UTCThe cake looks really good! I tried a plant-based cake recipe I got from Pinterest a while back...and it did NOT go well at all. Even the dog wouldn't touch it!

2021-05-30 02:08:18 +0000 UTCLOL!! Your face after tasting says it all! Thank you for sharing and bringing on the reality of experimentation. I personally am not great at baking but I can imagine that transitioning to plant-based ingredients will take a lot of time and effort. I love your episodes, this one in particular.

2021-05-29 15:44:54 +0000 UTCThis recipe is kind of a mix between my vegan chocolate cake recipe and my vegan vanilla cake recipe. They're my 2 basic recipes and I just tweak them for different flavours. Definately have to try this recipe, it sounds freakin delicious

Victoria Cooksey
2021-05-29 02:38:43 +0000 UTCBig question: Do you think subbing in a gluten-free flour would change the cake batter significantly? I would love to make this recipe in cupcake form for my DF/GF charge family. (the baby's first birthday is in August)

2021-05-28 22:46:32 +0000 UTCThis is perfect because I have a plant-based diet as well. I didn't know that when joining your patreon and am super grateful. 👍
Shannon R.
2021-05-28 19:56:49 +0000 UTCAs much as I appreciate those of you who eat entirely plant based products, I don't eat or cook this way. Surprisingly, many of my food allergies are to nuts, grains and legumes, especially soy. I would rather see episodes of foods that I would actually use.
Martha Colhoun
2021-05-28 19:49:55 +0000 UTCi highly recommend looking up "Gretchen's Bakery". She went vegan a few years ago and now has wonderful recipes you might enjoy. She has a Youtube channel as well as a blog.

2021-05-28 19:43:42 +0000 UTCDoes the recipe need soy milk or can you use oat/almond: soy makes me sick to my stomach.

Peggy
2021-05-28 04:53:41 +0000 UTCI see you have a white kitchen aid mixer You must have left your yellow one with the California cottage. Does this white one mean your new kitchen will be white or is it just that white goes with everything. For some reason I felt your kitchen would somehow go with the dining room in a green shade with pink accents. Time will tell. That cake looked fabulous. How long did it take to get that smooth surface without editing. Looking forward to the decorating.
Agatha Crookshaw
2021-05-28 03:44:22 +0000 UTCLook up some of her demo videos for her birthday cake recipe. She also uses a sheet of some kind of clear plastic inside the ring as she builds up the cake to keep it together as she does the inside work and then peels it off after she chills the cake. I think from there the crumb coat could go on. Here’s her link: https://youtu.be/zJH8ktb-YJQ

2021-05-27 22:57:52 +0000 UTCI also like using pudding as cake filling! I make a really simple chocolate pudding that can be made vegan depending on the milk and chocolate used. The recipe is here: https://missminamurray.wordpress.com/2017/05/24/in-the-kitchen-chocolate-pudding-1956/ You can also see me make the pudding in my very first cooking video: https://missminamurray.wordpress.com/2017/05/25/chocolate-pudding-the-video/ (not embarrassing at all...)

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
2021-05-27 18:55:55 +0000 UTCThis was beyond excellent. Next week is my first birthday since going plant based and I cannot wait to give this a try when I put together my birthday cake. This could not have come at a better time. I love to bake but have not yet attempted anything beyond dairy free cookies and scones (which were so delicious.)
Kaila M. Ingram
2021-05-27 15:29:42 +0000 UTCHi Luke, this recipe is pretty soft and fluffy but I also haven’t tried stacking and frosting this one and I have only worked with fondant once many years ago. I think you would need a recipe that is more dense and structural.
Cariushka
2021-05-27 10:39:56 +0000 UTCLove this! I’m actually in the midst of making a gluten and dairy free chocolate wedding cake (I can use eggs, but don’t need to) is this re I’ve firm enough for hold up under buttercream and fondant for traveling? tThe recipe I just made is too soft and pillowy.

2021-05-27 03:30:57 +0000 UTC* "Aquafaba" not aquafina... auto correct strikes again!
Angela Binford
2021-05-27 00:57:20 +0000 UTCHi Christine! Thank you for all your efforts! The cake looks great! I can't wait for the second video! I have been plant based since 2010. We don't eat many sweets but on special occasions I will make a cake or brownies. My blueberry lemon muffins are very popular with my AirBnB guest. They cook up high and light. I always double sift. I use ground flax seed and and water as a binder and a combo of baking powder and baking soda eith almond milk soured with lemon juice. Ground flax seed works great as an egg replacement for many things like cakes, muffins, pancakes, etc. I was watching the beginning of your video when you were assembling your first trial cake... I saw you pouring off the liquid from a can of chickpeas (which is known as "aquafaba") but I think you may have missed an important step which may be why the cake failed... Aquafina needs to be beaten to soft peaks like meringue. Creme of tartar may be used to help set the peaks. In a stand mixer start the Aquafina on low speed then increase to med high when it begins to froth. It takes some time to coalesce but eventually it will fir lovely high sift peaks. At this point you put the other ingredients together mixing just enough to make a loose batter but not enough to stimulate the gluten and make the cake tough. Then right before you are ready to bake, gently fold in the peaked aquafaba just enough to combine. Bake according to recipe directions and the cake should come out high and ever so tender. I hope this helps!

2021-05-26 19:47:59 +0000 UTCThanks everyone! I've never had hemp milk! I was worried that there was something molecular in the soy milk that made it the best option for baking. I will have to try these. Thank you!

Cariushka
2021-05-26 17:40:51 +0000 UTCI have an amazing vegan chocolate cake that is super easy. I have never tried layering it for decorating, only used it as a sheet cake and cupcakes. 3 cups flour 2 cups sugar 2 tsp baking soda 6 Tbls cocoa powder 1 tsp salt 2/3 cup oil 2 Tbls vinegar 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups water Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan (or for cupcakes just us the liners) and bake at 350 for 40 minutes for the big cake, 15 to 20 minutes for cupcakes. I don’t even get out my mixer for this one. It’s so forgiving and turns out great. And a very fudgie frosting that can also be handmixed is: 2/3 cup cocoa powder 1 stick (4 oz) vegan butter 3 cups powdered sugar 1/3 cup vegan milk 1 tsp vanilla Melt butter in a pan, add cocoa powder and vanilla and mix well. Alternately add sugar and milk, may need a splash or two more until you like the consistency.

2021-05-26 17:37:46 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this video! Have been vegan for years but I'm not the strongest baker or cook so when I have recipes that don't turn out, I give up. This was encouraging, inspiring, and looks delicious!!!

Hanna
2021-05-26 12:32:49 +0000 UTCMy daughter has a rare metabolic disorder called Phenylketonuria which basically means her body doesn't process protein properly and she has to remain on a super strict vegan diet for the rest of her life (and by super strict she can't eat regular pastas/ breads/ flour etc). I used to love watching all the wonderful baking but it would really get me down thinking how hard it would be for me to adapt it for my little girl to enjoy, so I cannot put into words how much I appreciate this plant based tutorial. Truly, thank you so much.
Bree Wolf
2021-05-26 11:42:53 +0000 UTCI read this on whatsugar.com. Domino sugar with lot numbers that begin with 1 or 4 are vegan. 1 is produced in Yonkers, NY and 4 in Baltimore, MD. I never knew about sugar being processed with bone char. Lot number 5 is not vegan.

2021-05-26 06:20:25 +0000 UTCI loved this episode! The Joy of Vegan Baking is another good reference source. Swapping flax meal and water for an egg worked every time!
Karl Beck
2021-05-26 03:49:20 +0000 UTCWhen I went plant-based, I had a similar adventure with baking. Like you, I figured out my recipe by starting with something that looked good. It just happened to be cornbread! I subbed almond flour for the cornmeal, added lemon zest and lemon juice, a little bit more sugar and poppy seeds. Your cake looks great.

Will try this recipe soon....it looks awesome and I am sooo glad you are plant based now, me too!! Also, I am gluten-free, so this should be interesting adding GF baking mix.

2021-05-26 01:39:22 +0000 UTCI recommend oat milk
Mononoke Adams
2021-05-26 01:08:36 +0000 UTCGood to know. I was thinking the Domino's confectioners' sugar might not be.
Leah Sherman
2021-05-26 00:05:15 +0000 UTCDoes almond milk work for you? I’ve subbed almond for soy with success many times.
Dave Burns
2021-05-26 00:03:20 +0000 UTCI'm so excited for this recipe because I've been WFPB for a couple of months now, and I miss my sweets! :)

2021-05-25 23:45:14 +0000 UTCZulka, the brand Christine uses, called Morena Pure Cane Sugar is vegan and can be found in any usual grocery store. I get mine delivered from Walmart.

2021-05-25 23:35:59 +0000 UTCMy mom would use heavy cardboard for cake board. She would cut the size she needed then cover it with heavy duty foil. If you have a cutting board that is the right size, you can wrap that in foil as well.
Christine Mooers
2021-05-25 23:32:21 +0000 UTCWhat would you recommend instead of soy milk? Have to stay away from soy for health reasons.
Elizabeth Goans
2021-05-25 23:23:14 +0000 UTCLove that you are plant based, I've been a vegetarian for about 8 years and with your suggestions and yummy recipes I may just move over to vegan
Brenda Karnes
2021-05-25 23:18:13 +0000 UTCIf you made the cake and then needed to scramble -say company is unexpectedly coming in 15 minutes- what could you do to the cake once it is frosted that wouldn't take much time?

2021-05-25 22:40:35 +0000 UTCThe cake looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. Fyi, you can find amazing vegan recipes from the Minimalist Baker https://minimalistbaker.com. I am constantly baking vegan goodies and highly recommend the site.

2021-05-25 22:25:39 +0000 UTCThank you for doing this recipe and sharing with all of us.😊 This is wonderful!🥬
Kris
2021-05-25 22:11:11 +0000 UTCThat was great! I don’t know anything about Vegan based stuff but I’m happy to learn. I have a vegan friend and she would be tickled pink if I made her a cake.

2021-05-25 22:08:14 +0000 UTCI have been plant based for 14 years now☺️I am super excited to try this recipe. My cakes taste great but are not fluffy.

Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-05-25 21:07:12 +0000 UTCAre you putting the frosting on too thick? I scrape it pretty thin. And if the frosting is too cold it will do this.
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-05-25 21:06:15 +0000 UTCI would never have thought to do it that way!

2021-05-25 20:55:56 +0000 UTCLove this. I do hope you figure out a vegan pudding recipe to add to the filling. I’ve tried over the years but haven’t been successful.

2021-05-25 20:14:09 +0000 UTCWow, thank you, that is super useful!
Olivia H.
2021-05-25 20:12:39 +0000 UTCI was so thrilled to see a vegan recipe and your beautiful words about being kind to animals!!! I recently tried the recipe from the channel "It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken" her Vanilla cake is so moist and fresh. The secret (as I'm sure you already know) is not to overmix. Lumps are ok for the oven and make it fluffier. I use it to make vegan tiramisu! (for non-dairy whipped cream, kosher grocery sections are your best friend!) Cheers!

2021-05-25 20:11:40 +0000 UTCAgar agar based!
Linda
2021-05-25 19:59:05 +0000 UTCWhy go out of the way for the marshmallows tho? You could make your own without the animal-based gelatin. I've done gluten-free recipes for diabetics in my family, I haven't tried the vegetarian or vegan. I love butter, cream and cheese. Don't think I could give those up, but on the other hand, my heart would probably appreciate it.

2021-05-25 19:43:09 +0000 UTC@Anna I have tried chilling for a half hour in the fridge. Maybe I just need to do the freezer or leave it for a while longer.
Amanda Ferguson
2021-05-25 19:41:42 +0000 UTCSo excited to try this out and right in time for my brithday! Thank you :)
Alexis
2021-05-25 19:29:27 +0000 UTCThis is my go to vegan sponge recipe. Vanilla sponge cup cakes (obviously this recipe can be turned into Victoria sponge cake) 400g self raising flour 140g caster sugar 2 tsp baking powder 400 ml Vegan Milk (I like almond breeze) 160ml rapeseed oil 2 Tablespoons of vanilla extract So, mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and all the wet ingredients in a jug then add the wet to the dry and mix with a wooden spoon to only just mixed. Leave the lumps. If you over mix and try and get out all the lumps, it will not rise in the oven Use an icecream scoop and put one scoop in each muffin case and put in the oven Gas mark 5 or about 200 c for about 15 minutes until brown. The freeze really well
Keely
2021-05-25 19:29:23 +0000 UTCYou don’t need to cut up towels you can buy them on Amazon they’re called cake bands. You soak them and wrap around your cake. Xx
Keely
2021-05-25 19:26:16 +0000 UTCChill the cake first, in the fridge or freezer for few minutes. That should help, also youtube tutorials for icing cakes, you can always learn something new.
Anna Óskarsdóttir
2021-05-25 19:16:06 +0000 UTCIt's so nice to see you baking again ❤ finding the vegan versions very inspiring! xx
Lorraine Donaldson
2021-05-25 19:05:44 +0000 UTCCannot wait to try these! My previous vegan baking experiments have resulted in what I have coined, "the taste of sadness". This looks much happier.
Laura
2021-05-25 18:57:01 +0000 UTCIs there a trick to crumb coating?Every time I make a layer cake and try to spread frosting for a crumb coat, I get a big chunk of frosting that peels off with cake stuck to it. So I have a spatula with a bunch frosting with crumbs and a big open spot of cake to cover. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Amanda Ferguson
2021-05-25 18:41:42 +0000 UTCVegan, YAY!!!!!! BTW, if you're looking for vegan pudding or custard, you might try Plant Based Italia's YouTube channel. He does amazing things.
Liz Mednick
2021-05-25 18:30:35 +0000 UTCThank you for the video! So soon after movie night!!
Linda
2021-05-25 18:13:59 +0000 UTCThis was a wonderful surprise! I have been vegan 4 yrs now. Cant wait to try!!
Linda
2021-05-25 18:02:34 +0000 UTCThis was a great tutorial! I really wanted to taste the cake - when you were handing some to your captive behind the camera I was reaching for it!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-05-25 17:46:35 +0000 UTCOh jeez! Is nothing sacred? Why must they put dead animals in everything?
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-05-25 17:44:06 +0000 UTCI was hoping someone would try it gluten-free! Please let us know how it goes!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-05-25 17:41:52 +0000 UTCI LOVE THAT IDEA!!!!
MichelleShari
2021-05-25 17:29:51 +0000 UTCI am always happy to see failed experiments! My vegan baking experience was a failure but I did learn to incorporate many things... vegan butter is amazing. I dont eat butter. I couldnt replace eggs or real cream. My trade off was to only purchase ethically farm raised animal based products. I pay double the price but it doesnt weigh on my conscious! I did purchase Dandies marshmallows this winter and I do have to say that I threw them out. They were awful!
MichelleShari
2021-05-25 17:28:58 +0000 UTCThank you for making this plant based recipe seem so accessible. I have a severe nut allergy and while I limit animal products in my diet, going completely plant based has always seems so intimidating! This looked about as easy as a standard homemade cake and also nut free!
Courtney
2021-05-25 17:26:46 +0000 UTCThe look of trying to be polite but you’re annoyed and disappointed when you taste the cake is legit. I feel for you! It’s a long road. I don’t know if this tip will be helpful but the pastry chef from New York, Christina Tosi, makes all her layer cake in big sheet pans and then cuts out the circles with rings and then the scraps get jammed into a ring for the bottom layer that no one sees. Might be a little easier than lining several spring form pans

Tammy Huth
2021-05-25 17:16:55 +0000 UTCAlmond milk tends to be a thinner consistency than soy and I'd worry that it would affect the texture of the cake. Ripple is a pea protein milk that I like in my chai lattes. It's has a similar consistency to soy and might be a good substitute.
Lynnetta
2021-05-25 16:59:37 +0000 UTCThank you for going out of your way to describe your reasons for going plant-based, it can feel scary to do so but it’s so important! Amazing to see many other fellow vegans in the comments too. Sending love from England 🌱💕
Kirsty
2021-05-25 16:55:46 +0000 UTCCan't wait for part 2!!! :) thank you for posting!
Lizzy
2021-05-25 16:44:33 +0000 UTCScarface!!! 😂 hahaha! The mishaps of baking! I so appreciate all the time and effort going into a final product that tastes just as good as it looks! So many frustrations, time, money and energy go into baking with proud results! Glad you could do this for us and I’m sure we all trust your end result because of your attention to detail efforts in all that you do! <3
Colleen Diane Sakane
2021-05-25 16:39:42 +0000 UTCI'd love to see a picture of the cake in the refrigerator! I think I'd need a separate walk-in. I love the 1970s stovetop, it makes me feel less bad about my 1980s gross stovetop. Not sure you are aware, but many sugars aren't vegan; they use bone char to make it "whiter." You can search for vegan sugar (I was shocked when I learned this is a thing!), I like Wholesome Organic, but I'm sure there are plenty other brands.
Leah Sherman
2021-05-25 16:36:31 +0000 UTCGreat a recipe, I’m so happy, really missed the recipes episodes. Can’t wait to discover it (tonight)
Cindy
2021-05-25 16:35:19 +0000 UTCI have to admit I actually REALLY like the episodes being divided up. It gives you more time to explain your processes and have some fun with it. Also, it really gets me excited for the next part. The dining room episodes were amazing and I love how this one is going as well. I really think you nailed it. Now I am super excited to see how this cake goes!
Nicholas Frig
2021-05-25 16:26:52 +0000 UTCLoved this and loved seeing the "first round" not a failure since it brought you to the final version! Looking forward to the decorating portion next. :-)
Jennifer Gabris
2021-05-25 16:14:32 +0000 UTCNon-dairy milks are usually pretty interchangeable in recipes. I find oat milk usually works best :)
Lily
2021-05-25 16:07:24 +0000 UTCI love that you shared the fail and what worked for you and was honest about it thank you so much 💖
Stephanie
2021-05-25 15:59:13 +0000 UTCDo you think soy milk can be replaced by, say, almond ect? I'm not plant based by my friends daughter has a dairy/soy allergy and I'd Love to pass this recipe on. Thank you!

2021-05-25 15:50:18 +0000 UTCPlease let us know how it goes with gluten free! If I made it, I would have to go gluten free too. Would love to hear how it turns out for you! :)
Buggie
2021-05-25 15:48:26 +0000 UTCRecently went plant-based myself. This is absolutely brilliant. There are insulating “cake bands” that you can buy, but this homemade version is genius. Can’t wait to see the decorating episode. And thank you for showing the train wreck attempt. It’s important to see the experiments that don’t turn out. Baking is a fickle mistress and too many times people get discouraged and avoid it. Thank you for doing the work to figure out how to make a skyscraper cake. ❤️

2021-05-25 15:45:51 +0000 UTCOh my goodness Christine :o this was soooo nice of you to kinda reinvent baking for us <3 I am unsure if I'll attempt to make it, but my birthday is only a month away so I have time to prepare mentally <3 love you

Kelly Anderson
2021-05-25 15:36:56 +0000 UTCYayy, I'm so excited that you are diving into vegan baking! I am vegan and always have a hard time figuring out how to follow elaborate cake baking (and decorating) instructions with plant based alternatives. My birthday is coming up in June so I am going to attempt to make myself a beautiful birthday cake!!
Taylor Makenzie
2021-05-25 15:36:04 +0000 UTCI'll have to do some modifications to make this cake gluten free as well and to make it fit into a much smaller oven. Can't wait to see the decorating!
Patricia Kelly
2021-05-25 15:33:12 +0000 UTCIt is always nice to have a captive to dispose of the evidence of your failures. Or does it just make it harder for him to try to escape?
Alexander
2021-05-25 15:31:45 +0000 UTCI appreciate that you shared with us your failed attempt. It feels more authentic somehow because I know you put in a LOT of work on your videos and projects to produce such beautiful, high quality videos.

Ken Gerleve
2021-05-25 15:25:27 +0000 UTCYum, I'm going to try it. We are partially plant based anyway, but I haven't found any good baking substitute recipes, they're usually very chalky, or use maple syrup which just has such an over powering flavor, etc. I had two birthdays to bake for this month choc full of dairy lol a strawberry icecream cake, and a German chocolate, I'm going to try and create dairy free versions for next year since they ask for the same every year lol
