    Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on May 7, 2013 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes, Kids Can Cook

    This vegan mint chocolate chip snack cake recipe was an entry in one of our Dairy Free Recipe Contests. It was created by 10-year-old Thomas Makin of Rumson, NJ, but submitted by his mom, Teresa Makin – since he wasn’t old enough to enter!

    This moist, tender cake is dotted with dairy-free chocolate chips and infused with peppermint. It’s perfect for a casual dessert or mid-afternoon treat. Dust it with powdered sugar for a snowy effect and that extra touch of indulgence.

      Question – I have no cultured milk here (the nearest place to have it is probably 45 min away, so its not convenient either) and I was wondering if you think the recipe would work without it, and maybe additional milk? I’m really uncertain as to what part it plays in the recipe to make it work, so I’m totally unsure how to substitute. Thanks for the help!

        Note that I haven’t tested it myself, but I think mashed banana or applesauce would work well. Additional milk alternative might work also, but note that the cultured milk is acting as a bit of an egg alternative.

          Thanks! I think I’ll give it a go with some applesauce – I wondered if that might be worth trying. 🙂

        Any yogurt will work fine. We use soy or coconut milk yogurt to replace eggs.
