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.

Halloween Halfling Meatloaf
This is a great tasting and scary meatloaf. Our guests got a big kick out of it. I prefer to bake my meatloaf on a slotted broiler pan to let the grease drip off. You can use spicy sausage but I prefer a mild sausage.
