Gimme some sugar!
By jen | April 23, 2009
Growing up, my mom used to buy Entenmann’s brand baked goods all the time. Entenmann’s isn’t exactly high quality stuff, I know, but I remember loving the buttery flavor and the moist, dense texture of their pound cake. I’d been eyeing the vanilla pound cake recipe from Veganomicon for a while and finally made it last night. Instead of making one large loaf, I decided to make mini loaves so I could more easily share them with friends. While it doesn’t taste like regular pound cake (the texture is a bit spongier and lacks the buttery flavor since the recipe calls for canola oil instead of vegan butter), it’s pretty darn tasty! I only wish I had some kind of whipped topping and berries to eat with it.
Next, I baked some chocolate mocha cookies for my friend Jeannie’s vegan professor who has tried a number of my baked goods and wanted to buy a dozen of these. I consider myself an amateur baker, so I’m flattered that anyone would want to buy my baked goods. These babies are soooo good warm and with a glass of soy milk!

The pound cake is called that because you will gain a pound for each slice you eat. I know this from first-hand experience, sadly.
Still, if I had it to do all over again, I would still eat the whole cake!

The cookies were amazing, and the pound cake too!!
I have been vegan for a long time, and these cookies were the best I have ever had. The Trader Joes vegan chocolate chip cookies are so dry and boring.
Thanks Jen for the amazing baked stuff. I am eating the delicious chocolate pecan pie right now!!
I really think you should go into business. I haven’t found a vegan bakery yet in the Bay Area. I went to one in Washington DC and it was great. I would buy everything.
Thanks again,

mmm can’t beat chocolate!
