    Recipe Easter Muffins with Saffron and Bitter Chocolate

    Some of you may know that I'm not a fan of sweet things and consequently not a very experienced cake-maker. However, I thought I'd make a bit of an effort for Easter.

    Recipe 'See in the Dark' Chocolate Torte

    Ok. I finally got on the 'vegetables in cakes' bandwagon (thanks mainly to @classic33). I had to experiment a lot, but here's my kind of carrot cake - I called it 'see in the dark' because of the old saying 'carrots help you see in the dark'.

    The early hours of the morning should not be mixed with any recipe involving chocolate and certainly not one which sounds as good as this one does! And I have found a very dangerous website, one that contains lots and lots of desserts which can easily be made vegan. This is from there...
