Hey friends! I was going through some old pictures on my computer (not that old, I just gave myself a digital camera from my birthday this year, but you get the idea) and for my boyfriend's birthday, I made him the most DELICIOUS CAKE I have ever made.
*cue dusting off shoulders*
It's called Triple Chocolate Fat Pants Cake, and the recipe can be found in Babycakes NYC, a baking book I HIGHLY recommend. Instead of making chocolate chip cookies to go on and in the cake though, I caved and bought some Newman's Os, making kind of a cookies-and-cream cake. Needless to say, the cake was devoured at Jeremy's birthday party! And I had no problems bragging about it hehehe, not to mention telling everyone who would listen that it was Vegan and gluten free.
In Babycakes NYC, the recipes are often gluten free and use natural sweeteners like raw agave nectar, and incredibly nutritious coconut oil which has gotten a bad rap for its saturated fat content. For more nutritional info on coconut oil, visit my dear friend's blog here:

Newman's O's are delicious and your cake looks like it's from a bakery. Girl you deserve to be proud of it. I love this post. You are so awesome. God Bless and have a beeeeeautiful weekend.
