You Are My Sunshine

November 10, 2009 · 27 Comments

With the absence of the sun on this overcast day, I turned to My Sweet Vegan by Hannah Kaminsky to brighten my day!  What could do this better than Lemon-Lime Sunshine Bundt Cake?!  Not much, that’s for sure.  There’s just something about a bundt cake that seems so special.

I’ve somehow accumulated a bunch of lemons, so I left out the lime and went straight up lemon.  Besides that, the only other part I had to change was because I don’t have any vegan butter at the moment.  I realized this after I had started, so I scrambled to find a substitute.  Just using oil instead crossing my mind, but then I realized I had just bought a jar of coconut butter and used that instead.  Coconut and lemon pair perfectly!  A match made in tropical heaven.

On top, I mixed together a quick icing of half a package of Tofutti cream cheese and a big drizzle of agave nectar.  I gave this a stir in my stand mixer and that’s that!  We dug into this cake right after lunch.  I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I adore the lemon flavor.  I’ve written before about how I used to avoid citrus desserts but I find myself liking them more and more with each bite.  I can definitely get down with this.  The sunshine bundt cake is a light and fabulous treat.

Now, backing up a bit to lunch.  I made soup and sandwiches this afternoon for my buddy Chris and I on his lunch break.  I know, I know.. I’m such a great friend!  I made two kinds of soup, split pea and lentil.  Oh, and by make, I mean I opened two cans and heated them up on the stove.

The sandwich is hummus and avocado on that incredible 7 Grain with Flax bread from Rudi’s Bakery.  You know what else I used this bread for today?  Breakfast!  (See what I did there?  Nice transititon, if I do say so myself.)

Mmm, I can eat White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter every single day.

Anyway, so I’m going to run to the store so I can get to work on a dessert that I’m making for a contest.  I hope it comes out well.  I will report back tomorrow!
