Pink Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease and lighly flour three 9×2-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with waxed paper.
3. In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not over beat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended.
5. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Cool the layers in pans for 1 hour. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.

No Bake Vanilla Cake Batter Truffles
Yields: 20 to 30 truffles depending on size preference. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
Ingredients:
- 1 c vanilla cake mix
- 1/4 c sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp agave (optional and you can just use all sweetened condensed milk if you don’t have agave on hand)
- 1.5 to 2 c chocolate chips
Procedure:
- In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, and stir to combine.
- This mixture should be quite solid and not runny, but not so dry that you can’t mold it into balls. If you find that your mixture is a little too runny, add a touch more cake mix. If it’s a little too dry, add more sweetened condensed milk/agave. I ended up using about 1.25 c of cake mix to get the perfect consistency.
- After you’ve made the dough, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes and then remove and roll into balls.
- After the balls have been made, refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes minutes or until well-chilled, ensuring the melted chocolate will adhere and set up properly.
- Melt the chocolate chips, and dip the chilled cake batter balls into melted chocolate. Using parchment paper is a tip I’d recommend when working with melted chocolate. Place truffles in freezer or fridge to set up.

Vanilla Pizzelle
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Procedure
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder; stir to combine.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and yolk. Gradually, whisk in the sugar, then the vanilla and melted butter. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture. Set the batter aside while you heat a pizzelle iron. I use VillaWare Prego Nonstick Pizzelle Baker.
After the iron has been heating for a few minutes, open the cover and spray the top and bottom of the imprints with oil. Close the iron to finish heating.
Drop a scant tbsp of the batter just a bit further of the center of each imprint, close the cover, and bake the pizzele until the steam stops coming out from between the plates.
You can peek without ruining them – if they are too pale, close the iron and bake longer.
Transfer baked pizzele to a wire rack to cool. Repeat the process, there’s no need to grease the iron again. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment paper in an air-tight container.

Vegan Vanilla Sex Bob-Omb Cupcakes
Makes 6 Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (+1/8 teaspoon)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup non-hydrogenated margarine
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped clean
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
Procedure
1) Preheat the oven to 350F. In a measuring glass, whisk together the soy milk and cider vinegar. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to curdle. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the margarine and sugar until slightly fluffy. Add the paste you’ve scrapped from the vanilla bean and the two extracts. Then whisk in the soy milk mixture. Slowly, while stirring with a wooden spoon, sift in your dry ingredients and stir slowly until the batter has just come together. Do not over mix.
3) To bake: Place one tablespoon of the batter down into each of the cupcake liners. Then place a vanilla sandwich cookie (recipe below) on top of the spooned batter. Add two more tablespoons to each of your liners, and cook for about 25 minutes - or until you cake tester comes out clean and the tops of your cupcakes are golden. Set out to cool before adding the pastry cream.
Vegan Vanilla Sandwich Cookie
- 1/4 cup non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup soy milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 Tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine, softened
- 2 Tablespoons non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 a vanilla bean, scraped clean
- 1/4 vanilla extract
Procedure
1) Preheat the oven to 325F. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
2) Cream together the shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and soy milk and cream together. Add the dry ingredients and stir with wooden spoon until everything comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and cool for at least ten minutes.
3) Take dough out and roll between two sheets for baker’s paper until about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut out circles (which should be the same size of the bottom of your cupcake pan) and bake for about 12 minutes, or until just golden. Set out to cool.
4) While the cookies are cooling, make the frosting: Cream the margarine and shortening together until fluffy, then add the vanilla you’ve taken from the bean and the extract. Add the powdered sugar a 1/4 of a cup at a time and mix until all together. Spoon the cream onto one of the cooled cookies and sandwich another on top.
Vegan Vanilla Pastry Cream
- 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 1 cup soy milk, divided
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 vanilla bean, scraped clean
Procedure
1) In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of soy milk and the flour until it forms a paste. Set aside. In a small pot, add the rest of the soy milk, sugar, and the paste from the vanilla bean. Whisk to combine, then add the flour mixture. Over medium heat, whisk for about five to six minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Add the lemon juice, and whisk for about another minute. Take off the heat, transfer to another bowl to cool. Place some plastic wrap directly on top of the cream, so a skin doesn’t form. Let cool before topping the cupcakes.
