And strapping young lad says "greedy bastard" is a more accurate term for him :)  

I've been making the vegan cake from your first post way too often too.  The baking soda/vinegar combo is fantastic for a quick cake and I've been substituting a variety of ingredients (tonight's had grated random apple that needed to be used up).  Co-op's red-head said her mom has a few egg-free cake recipes like that that were from rationing.

Hey, DivaKama (one of the members of the veggie co-op) Thanks for your testimonial! A little bit of applesauce is good in the cake too. (I'd completely forgotten that I made it for dessert that night. I guess the happy cake memory was blotted out by the negative experience with that non-dairy ice cream-like susbstance. Yeech! I'd sooner go without.) It's kind of a kitchen sink cake -- you can add a lot of different things to it. I know we talked about adding chocolate chips - have you tried that yet? It's good and makes it even more chocolatey although not as vegan if the chips are made from chocolate with milk products in it. Using coffee instead of cherry juice is good too. (We are talking about a vegan chocolate cake recipe than ran on Grist last year, I think in July.) I am, at present, conducting high-level super secret experiments involving this cake recipe and candied ginger and ginger juice. If you see any puffs of smoke from this side of the river or hear me shouting "Eureka!" you'll know what I'm up to.

I make a similar recipe, only with chocolate peanut butter frosting. (Google Deep Chocolate Vegan Cake, you'll find it.) You don't need any butter, trust me, but do use the best slave-free chocolate you can find.

If you're lucky enough to live in the south try the  kale recipe with fresh collard greens. Fatback's no match for garlic and olive oil. Finger-lickin' good, y'all.

There are indeed many egg-less cake recipes dating back to war ration days. Many of them are in the old Joy of Cooking (you know, the one with all manner of critters in it). I made heavy use of them while I was in Peace Corps, as eggs of certain freshness were hard to come by.

The new Joy of Cooking has a delightful, unusual vegan orange cake that is delightful with (what else) chocolate frosting.

I have nothing to add about kale, except that it's my favorite vegetable ever. Ever!

I just made the curry -- delicious.  And so easy.  Roz, you didn't specify when to add the spices, so I tossed them in along with the tomatoes.  That worked, but what did you intend?

Thanks for your comment. You're right that I left out the timing for adding the spices. Just as you surmised, they go in with the tomatoes. I'm glad you liked it. - R.
