Hope it was a great one....Happy Birthday, Johanna! Hope it was a great one. And how lovely that it included CHOCOLATE. <BR/><BR/>The cake looks great, and I'd bet it doesn't need frosting. I also tend to love cake batter (and there's no worries about salmonella with vegan batter!). The two Giraffes (Gourmet, perhaps, if not Green?) on the table are adorable.<BR/><BR/>Just a word about the bean brownies: I'll be posting my own recipe next week, which took several tries before working out. The first few batches were too "beany" for my taste as well. I also found the trick to be blending them very well before adding to the batter, and I'm guessing that it did make a difference using kidney beans rather than the specified black beans, as I think beans may have different densities once cooked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17736517370082136652008-02-01T07:42:00.000+11:002008-02-01T07:42:00.000+11:00Happy Birthday, Johanna!

And glad you mentioned the egg I forgot to add to the ingredients (will fix that) - it only needs one so yes, I think the condensed milk must do the trick - I believe that condensed milk can make anything taste good - I have one more recipe from this week made with condensed milk - never rains, it pours :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-29250775777129894542008-01-31T22:29:00.000+11:002008-01-31T22:29:00.000+11:00Happy birthday Johanna!What a spread.

Other fudgy cake recipes I've seen have a lot of eggs but it looks like condensed milk does a fine job instead.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.com
