Happy Birthday BL & Pina Colada Cake

By Alexandra Caspero on April 5, 2013

It’s no secret that my honey, BL, is one of the most important people in my life. For the past five years, he has been my fearless recipe taster & guinea pig. He came into my life as a Midwestern meat and potatoes guy and is now a veg, kale-loving California boy.

Is my cooking good or what? ; ) 

Pina Colada Vegan Cake

Thanks B! For every bite.

To celebrate the big 3-0, I made him a Pina Colada Cake: Vanilla-Pineapple base, pineapple jam, coconut frosting & topped with toasted coconut and dried pineapple.

Too much? Not a chance.

I can’t take all the credit though, I basically veganized a Food Magazine version. I used Chef Chloe’s vanilla birthday cake and Earth Balance products in place of the butter.

Fantastic! It was perfection. I haven’t enjoyed a cake this decadent in a long time.

What’s your favorite birthday cake flavor?
