Gluten free Meat cake

I think it was vegansaurus that first introduced me to meat cakes. Knowing that I was about to reach a major milestone in my life, I needed to mark the occasion with something out of the ordinary. It was to be  meat cake. I based the recipe on a fresh new stomach's thanksgiving cake. I used just over 1.5kg of tofu to make a multi-layered tofurkey cake with mashed potato icing. I made it GF too by using tamari instead of soy sauce and topped it with massel gravy just before serving.

Thanks to K for the pics and to the wonderful folks at Las Vegan for accommodating my peculiar cake eating ways so readily.

The lazy man's vegan double down

A recent post on vegansaurus! introduced the world to a veganised version of the KFC monstrosity, the double down. The recipe required more effort than I was willing to give so I had to be creative/lazy.

I used:

2 redwood's vegideli bio schnitzels

3 redwood's vegideli bio rashers

A few slices of  gouda style sheese

Ketchup

Fry up the rashers and schnitzels and then assemble.You should get something like this:


This was my first time trying the redwood schnitzels and I maybe overcooked them as they were a little tough. Rashers were nice and crispy and sheese is good stuff.
