My daughter has gone vegan (and given up alcohol) for January. Every Sunday my family comes to tea and I make cakes and puddings and I am coming to the end of my tether over vegan recipes. My usual offerings are traditional and made with pure and simple ingredients.
Vegan cakes and bakes require weird stuff (xanthan gum, soya milk containing dozens of unheard-of chemicals etc) huge quantities of oil or baking powder. After buying all these odd and expensive things I follow the recipes and the results are horrible, flat, tasteless.
I feel so sorry for children raised as vegans, never tasting a proper wholesome cake. Victoria sandwich anyone?
