when in doubt! bake a cake.

 well.....
my attempt at making vegan cupcakes was a fail.
because i'm stubborn.
i hate butter and buttery products. they just gross me out.
so, i tried to make frosting with a banana base.
i'm dumb.
this was the result. after probably 20+ minutes of beating it. (below)

a lovely overly-sweetened banana goo. 
  
 the cake part turned out super though! 
i used unbleached white and wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, a bit of apple cider vinegar, almond milk, cinnamon, and canola oil.
i ended up drizzling some of the banana goo ontop and that turned out as an awesome glaze sort of thing. 

today i took half of the goo and tried to revive it as a frosting. i added half a container of tofutti cream cheese. it definitely got thicker! but not fluffy in the least bit, so i added some flour and made it into a 
cake.

oh! the stirfry at the top is what i made for dinner. i make healthy food too sometimes! this is halved baby bella mushrooms, chopped scallions, halved brussel sprouts, chopped broccoli, and immitation chicken strips sauteed in soy sauce and a bit of olive oil with minced garlic.

what to do with the rest of the goo... dump it all ontop of the goo-cake i made? oh dear.
