I was in Portland all last week with lots of awesome ppkers and I had 2 types of vegan irish oatmeal cake(i'd never even heard of irish oatmeal cake,heh)and it was the best and there was a lot of amazing things and fun things that happened.

Peanut Butter Mousse Cake,and other old things.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bluberry Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream and Vegan m&ms(Whizzers)
standard vanilla cuppers from VCTOTW but with chocolate chips and bluberries.Insane amounts of frosting.I brought these to BLINGO at BLIM last month and everyone said they reminded them of Dr.Seuss.We watched "Get Crazy",it's a great movie.Blim is really awesome and Yuriko actually has a bingo machine with blowing air and everything.Oh,and people really liked the cupcakes,and I won the first bingo.I still haven't put up the wallpaper stuff though.

Last Saturday night I went to Joanne and Glenn's house and we had a cupcake baking party.We also went all over Richmond looking for cupcake baking tools that Joanne didn't have.But we found them all!Yay!

Joanne had one for breakfast.


Cookies N Cream Cupcakes from vctotw.Mine had like 3 inched high of icing on it.





Joanne also had 2 of these for breakfast.



Joanne is also crazy and had to fold up the sides of some thing so make some box to give the neighbors cupcakes in.Then we found a container and all her pointless hard work was wasted.


But enough about Joanne,here's Glenn:

Peanut Butter Coffee Cake which I got from a recipe of veglicous blog.





here's the recipe but with the few moderatiions I made:
Peanut Butter Coffee Cake
2 1/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
2 tbs. flax meal + 6 TB water
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg (or be lame and use pre-ground)
pinch of salt
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 1/4 c. soy milk
3/4 c. peanut butter, room temp (I used creamy, but go for chunky if you want a chunky cake)
1/3 c. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375F. Lighty grease a 9 x 13" baking dish.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, soda, nutmeg, and salt. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat with a mixer until everything is moistened and the peanut butter is evenly distributed. (A minute or two.) Pour into the prepared dish.

Topping
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
pinch of salt
1/4 c. peanut butter
3 tbs. EB

Mix the sugar, flour, and salt, then add the peanut butter and EB. Use your fingers to mix until crumbly, then sprinkle over the top of the batter.

Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until it passes the toothpick test.

Rugelach!

Who doesn't love Jewish pastry?Especially when it's vegan!
I made this for Father's Day just cause.They're orange/chocolate and apricot/fig.
