This recipe is for a dense yet somewhat spongy vegan basic vanilla cake. You can top it with a basic vegan chocolate or vegan vanilla buttercream frosting.

Cool it completely before topping it with your favorite vegan buttercream frosting.

Homemade Hash Browns
These mashed potato hash browns are perfect for breakfast and a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes. If you like, you could fry the hash browns up and then freeze them in airtight bags. You can pop them in the toaster to reheat them!
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
No two aglio e olio recipes are alike, but this one is pretty true to the classic method. The key is slowly toasting the garlic slices to a perfect golden brown in the olive oil. If it's too light, you don't get the full flavor and if it's too dark it gets bitter. My advice? Do it perfectly.
