Why, you ask? Because it’s the eve of my 29th birthday and I’m feeling a little sappy (and vain). Like whoa, 29 is almost touching 30. Look out world. First, let’s talk about the cake: 1 BowlSimple methodsSuper chocolateyMega moistNot too sweetAdapted from this bad-boySummeryBrimming with coconut whipped creamLoaded with berries Who’s ready to party? Second, in celebration of my birthday, I give you 29 things I’ve learned thus far in life: I went with coconut whip “frosting” for summery vibes, but you could totally opt for a traditional frosting if you prefer. A few options include my Vegan Chocolate Ganache, Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting, and Vegan Buttercream. Or, keep it simple with a dusting of organic powdered sugar or cocoa powder. The berries kind of make it, especially in summer! So whichever frosting route you decide to go, definitely consider these as a finishing touch. Make this cake for your own birthday (like I did), or for family and friends. It’s the perfect treat everyone will be able to partake in and fully enjoy. If you do, let us know what you think!
