Chocolate Cake & Baking Mix plus The Homemade Vegan Pantry Cookbook


Chocolate Cake and Baking Mix is a fantastic staple to have in your pantry. An easy mix that can be turned into countless chocolate desserts.

I am lucky to have a chance to share with you a recipe from a new cookbook titled The Homemade Vegan Pantry, the Art of Making your own Staples.

From condiments, thru non-dairy necessities, meatless wonders, soups, pastas and grains it is all wrapped up with sweet endings.

Miyoko Schinner has been a leader in gourmet vegan cuisine for decades. A restaurateur and baker she also revolutionized at-home vegan cheesemongering with her cookbook Artisan Vegan Cheese.

I discovered Miyoko through Miyoko’s Kitchen. A wonderful blog featuring artisanal vegan cheeses and it is a home away from home for me.

This is just a taste to explain the expertise that is on the pages of this new lovely cookbook. Color photos throughout and variations for more cooking adventures.

Anxiously, I have been waiting for her next cookbook. Today I have the opportunity to introduce The Homemade Vegan Pantry and a recipe to you.

Without further ado here is Miyoko’s introduction and recipe:

With this in the pantry, you’ll have no reason to deny yourself a chocolate fix when the mood strikes. If you’re looking for that perfect chocolate cake—rich, complex, but light— look no further. How about deep, fudgy brownies (pictured opposite)? It’s right here. Or almost guilt-free and oil-free chocolate muffins? Got those covered, too. Best of all, if you have kids like mine who tell you at ten o’clock at night that they need a treat to take to school the next day, you’ll be the supermom who can whip out amazing desserts “from scratch” in moments.
