This vegan and low-fat cake recipe uses applesauce instead of eggs or oil, making it nearly fat-free and guilt-free! Though its a little bit heavier than other cakes, the generous amount of cocoa makes this vegan cake absolutely heavenly.
Vegan Low-Fat Chocolate Applesauce Cake
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 cups flour
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 tbsp cornstarch
* 2 tsp baking soda
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/3 cup cocoa
* 1 1/2 cups applesauce
PREPARATION:
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan. Note: You can use other cake pans, but because this cake is a bit heavy, layered cake pans are not recommended.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Add applesauce and mix well until batter is smooth.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, until done. You can always tell that a cake is finished baking by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, that is, not covered in batter, then your cakes is done baking.
Frost, if desired, and enjoy!

Aww... that is so sweet. Here is an idea, you could get Port Finest Reserve Casal dos Jordoes, which is an organic/vegan Port that sells for about $30.00. I would suggest pairing it with a vegan Stilton or other blue vein cheese or with a vegan dark chocolate or carob. If you live in NYC take her to Candle 79 (Lex and 79th). The food is spectacular and the desserts too, I am not remotely close to a vegetarian and love to eat here!

Avocada fudge recipe
Ingredients
1 avocado, ripened
1/2 cup margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
PREPARATION:
In a medium sized saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
Once margarine is melted, puree with avocado in food processor or blender until perfectly smooth. Be sure there are no chunks of avocado left!
Return mixture to saucepan over very low heat and aff the rest of the ingredients,except the walnuts, adding the powdered sugar a portion at a time.
Once all the sugar has been added, the mixture should be thick. Add walnuts if desired, and transfer to a loaf pan. Refridgerate until firm. Now, be patient! If you don't let it firm up, you won't be able to slice it up into squares.
The Vegan chocolate chip cookies in Vegan With a Vengeance are wonderful. I don't have the book with me, but just go to your local B&N or Borders and copy it out.
