When I first went vegan six years ago, getting hold of a brownie, a slice of cake, or a dessert which didn't contain eggs, butter, or milk was pretty difficult. That meant that when I did visit a café or restaurant where it was possible to indulge a little, I did. A lot. Gradually, vegan cakes began popping up everywhere, but my old mindset remained: "Quick — a rare vegan strawberry sponge cake has been spotted! I must eat it now before it disappears into the undergrowth!"
But if you're eating cake every day because you continue to believe it is difficult to find cake to eat, your waistline is going to suffer. Not to mention your sense of logic. Try this instead: don't swear off cake forever. That would be too cruel and to be honest — for me, at least — it's not sustainable. Instead, choose to eat dessert once a week instead of every day, and when baking for yourself, choose some delicious, nutritious desserts like these vegan cookie recipes.
