Recipe for Disaster

Last night I made a vegan cake and everyone in my family hated me for it.

'Chocolate Avocado Cake' to be precise. There's me, buzzin on making something gluten free, vegan - all coming from plants not the animals. Pretty healthy minus the shit loads of sugar.

"Why have you put loads of guacamole on top of a cake?" and "How many eggs did you use?"

I don't have a picture of the cake so you can just look at my face when I realised how disheartening it is to slave away for a few hours in the kitchen just to cook up something so unappreciated. But you can click here to see what everyone else's look like.

So, I did what any other self sympathising person would do - used a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut ma self a nice slice of hearty (sorry!) green cake to eat at my desk for lunch...it didn't go down too well there either.

I love avocados. I don't really like cake. So as unappealing as an avocado cake may sound to the majority of people, to me it sort of sounded like a way in to Mary Berry's crazed clique and all the great British that love getting their bake off.

It wasn't tremendously bad. I think I will have a second attempt. Although I would like to find a healthier version without so much sugar. Any recommendations? Please let me know!

I defo's over done it with the lemon juice in the icing. It made me wince a lot but I tried to style it out into a smile so I could pretend that at least I enjoyed my creation. The cake itself was spongy yet a Sahara desert style dry. And as for the aesthetics, it wasn't overly pleasing on the eye. So for now I will stick to making clean, healthy, savoury eats which can be found over here. Please feel free to take a look around.

Traumatised, I returned to what I am best at. Drinking.
