So it DOES turn out you can have your cake and eat it too! This recipe calls for one heck of a sweet celebration! It’s got sugar, yes it does! But see? You can have cake as tasty as any other, without contributing to the massively destructive industry that is animal agriculture. If you’d like, you can skip the frosting, and snack on the cake part with a cup of chamomile tea in the evening.

Many of you would flip were you to see the original recipe we adapted from. FOUR whole eggs, whole milk, buttermilk, and butter, and you’re not just loading up on sugar but on extra saturated fat, cholesterol, not to mention hormones, antibiotics and steroids! Yikes!

P.S. There won’t be salmonella in this cake mix! We encourage you to try it!
