OK, so there are several holiday foods we made that I want to talk about - the first of which is FAT PANTS CAKE! Oh My Gosh - is this good or what??? It is vegan and gluten free - believe it or not - and it tastes like a little bit of heaven for those of us who can rarely eat baked goods. This one is to die for and it totally competes with any cake that has flour and eggs in it! It is a combination of brownie-like chocolate cake, yummy, yummy frosting made with coconut oil, agave nectar, and soy milk, and chocolate chip cookies. Yes! You read correctly - those are chocolate chip cookie bits spread over the cake (and layered in between with the frosting). It just tastes unbelievably good - I can't even put it into words. Think explosions of chocolate, velvety vanilla frosting, crunchy cookies, and the varying textures of cake, cookies and chocolate chips. And the ingredients are so good you don't have to feel any guilt - fava bean/garbanzo bean flour, brown rice flour, applesauce, coconut oil, arrowroot powder, vegan chocolate chips - it's very wholesome. It is called "Fat Pants Cake" for a reason - it weighs a ton and I'm sure has plenty of calories, but it is so good who cares?? There comes a time to indulge, eat cake, and relax. This cake is the one! The recipe can be found in the book, "Babycakes: Vegan, (Mostly) Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York's Most Talked-About Bakery"
