I have heard that Sea Salt is supposed to be good for clearing up acne. I know when I go to the Ocean my face does always clear up. What I was wondering is does anyone have a ...

Candy Corn Cake

October is right around the corner & thoughts have already turned to Halloween! While most are getting creative with costumes, many vegans are figuring out what candies they can eat! Packaged candy corn cake at your local store typically is packed with animal products like gelatin, egg whites, & beeswax, so members of the PPK were missing this sugary little tradition in their lives. Well, miss no more!

Here is a recipe for Homemade Candy Corn cake in scrumptious vegan version. With some clever substitutions, it worked! This recipe is not for the faint at heart, while the dough is easy to make, the production process is time consuming just a little boring! I recommend having a candy corn cake party with friends, so you can all get together to enjoy both the making and eating of these goodies together! You could also eat them uncolored, but how Grinch-like is that?

Here are the ingredients:

1 cup sugar
2/3 cup corn syrup (preferably organic, avoid high fructose corn syrup!)
5 tablespoons Earth Balance (or other vegan margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup powdered soy milk
a pinch of sea salt
Red & yellow food coloring

And here are the Instructions:

In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup, Earth Balance, & vanilla to a boil over high heat-Reduce the heat to medium & boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally-After 5 minutes, remove from heat.

Sift the powdered sugar, powdered soy milk, & salt into medium bowl-Add the powdered sugar mixture to pan & stir to combine-Let the mixture stand until slightly warm to touch, about 20 minutes-Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces.

Consider putting on surgeons' gloves, so you don't stain your hands. Add several drops of yellow food coloring to one piece of dough & knead food coloring into the dough until smooth and color is even. Repeat using red & yellow food coloring (for orange) with the second piece & leave the last piece white, but knead it until smooth. This isn't an easy task & could take up to 15 minutes!
Roll each piece into ropes of equal length (don't roll too thin or the dough will break) and push the three ropes together to form a long rectangle.

Using sharp knife, cut the ropes into triangles. Some will be white tipped & some will be yellow tipped.

This made 110 candy corn cakes, all larger than the store bought ones you're used to! You could easily half this recipe and still have a ton to share with others or for 'treating' little rascals. I made mine somewhat large, as they're easier to work with, but you could make smaller ones.
