Vegetarian Honey & Nut Cup Cakes

Once in a year, my family will eat vegetarian food for 10 days, (Not a vegan but almost a like, it’s a Chinese vegetarian that base on the Buddhist believe. We won’t eat animal product (include dairy products) plus some of the vegetable (onion, garlic, and etc.). So, I have to find some bake goods, which don’t use egg or butter (actually, my family don’t strict to the rule and the dairy products are welcome, ^ ^. But some of my friends are very strict). I got the idea of this cup cake from my friend (Koy), who told me about the banana cake that she made by using coconut milk.

I never making this kind of cake before, I always use the recipe from the macrobiotic cookbook, which don’t use the dairy product and egg too. But the recipe from macrobiotic cookbook is not challenging me any more, and I want the new recipe that makes a moist and soft cake.

I use honey and soft brown sugar (with can’t be use in macrobiotic recipe), which I think they will make the texture of the cake moist and soft. But the first trial was a not good enough, the cake flour made the cake too soft and too moist.

So the second time, I changed the cake flour into all purpose flour. The all purpose flour give the cake more structure, and I’m happy with the result now.
