The Chef: LyndsayThe Menu: A delicious and nutritious blend of quinoas, both red and regular, topped with Punjab Eggplant (thanks, Trader Joe's!) and tofu. A mixed-greens side salad with sliced red onions, avocado, and a light sprinkling of Daiya finished off the plates.
The Goods: As you may have already read on Press Pass, we had a little something special for dessert today, namely a yummy Almond Milk Chocolate Cake from local confectionery Violet Sweet Shoppe. Um, how can you not eat something this adorable?
We served slices of this behemoth à la mode with scoops of Coconut and Mocha Almond Fudge Purely Decadent with Coconut Milk. Sometimes, when it's Monday you need a little something sweet! To share the sugar, um, figuratively, we have a totally sweet deal! All this week, we'll be giving away Sarah Kramer's latest work, her 2010 Go Vegan! Calendar. Just leave us a comment with your favorite cake-and-ice-cream flavor combination, and we'll pick one winner each day. Go! Comment! Win!

Favourite ice cream - German chocolate cake (caramel, coconut, chocolate, brownie pieces - *heavenly*!) :9
Chocolate cookie dough coconut "ice cream" on chocoalte cake..... So many desserts in one!
I made some vegan marshmallows this summer and smushed them with some vanilla Soy-Good Ice cream and strawberries, and plopped it on-top of some simple pound cake …yumm
I like Isa & Terry's Boston cream pie cupcakes with Neapolitan ice cream coz I can never decide which flavor I like best
Chocolate cake, cherry ice cream - yum!
I am a monotone cake/ice cream flavor person: Chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream. The coconut milk-based ice cream is great!
Coconut Cake with purely decadent Vanilla
Home made banana chocolate chip ice cream on top of Peanut Butter/Chocolate tofu mousse pie with a graham cracker crust. Worth a little cellulite!
This cake looks amazing!
There are so many cake and ice cream combos I love... Let's say today's choice would be homemade vanilla ice cream on top of a decadent apple cake. I didn't have dessert, so now I'm having a serious cake and ice cream craving!
My favourite is vegan german chocolate cake with vegan coconut milk cookie dough ice cream! yummm!
Rum, peach cake with lemon glaze and strawberry ice cream. All vegan, of course.
I would have to go with Turtle Trails by Purely Decadent and chocolate cake.
That cake is gorgeous!
chocolate cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream (made with coconut milk)
ooo...I'm digging Ani Phyo's "The Real Cheezecake" with "Vanilla Macadamia Ice Kream" from AP's Raw Food Kitchen.
xox
I love Trader Joe's cherry chocolate chip soy ice cream. That and chocolate wacky cake rock.

I love anything dense and chocolaty, with Mudd Pie on top!

Favorite cake is chocolate or any combination of chocolate w/peanut butter.
My favorite ice cream flavor is peanut butter chocolate. HAh

my fave icecream and cake combination is a toss up between either coffee and biscotti tempt icecream or mint chocolate coconut milk icecream with vegan chocolate cake and butter cream frosting!
Favorite cake: vanilla bean-almond with fluffy buttercream frosting

Mmmmmmmmmmmm..
chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, with mint chocolate cake.
coconut milk ice cream & chocolate cake...mmm
I like gingerbread cake with a very lightly flavored lemon ice cream. Yum!
vegan Red Velvet Cake and Vanilla Bean Coconut Milk ice cream!
Mmmm... that cake looks so yummy! My favorite combo is chocolate cake and mint chip ice cream.
I'm the lone weirdo...I want my cake and ice cream separate! Actually, I'm a sorbet girl anyway. So...
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and raspberry sorbet!
(Spumoni ice cream is my favorite, but I can't find it in a vegan version anywhere...anyone know where I could find it?
I'm not a big ice cream girl (haven't found a vegan version that I absolutely must have), but give me some carrot cake anyday. (well, probably not since I have more than 100 pounds to lose)...but ahh, a girl can dream!
Just discovered your blog and love it!

Oh, nothing says comfort food to me like warmed apple crumb cake a la mode with Purely Decadent Made with Coconut Milk Vanilla Bean ice cream.
I love "ginger macadamia coconut carrot cake" from "vegan with a vengeance" and simple soy dream vanilla ice cream. Its absolutely delish! It reminds me of autumn but I eat it anytime of year, cause I mean its yummy cake and ice cream! :D
Best cake-Lemon Lavendar
Best ice scream-Humbolt Toffee
I love purely decadent chocolate ice cream. Even my non-vegan husband eats it when there is "real" ice cream. Any ideas on how to hide something in the freezer?
Flourless Chocolate Cake with mocha rum glaze - for those of us who are flour intolerant and chocolate happy this is the ideal dessert. Our women's group has celebrated each other's birthday for many years and one of us always makes the cake. This is what I'll make when it's my turn again!
I love chocolate cake with coffee ice cream. Yum!
coconut cake (or maybe lemon) and neopolitan ice cream (coffee ice cream also totally rocks)
Ice Cream Cake: homemade vegan strawberry IC between two layers of dark chocolate cake covered in pink vanilla buttercream. Oh yeah!
I love a vegan chocolate cake with vegan cookie's n cream ice cream. The first combination of chocolate and vanilla and it is pure vegan bliss.
My homemade chocolate cake with homemade peanut butter soy ice cream.
white cake with milk chocolate frosting (thick, thick, thick, rich and gooey, please!) and mint chip soy-dream ice cream............... so boss
Chocolate Cake with Orange-Dark Chocolate Ganache....with a heaping side of Purely Decadent Coconut Milk Chocolate Ice Cream.
Mmmmmm....
The cake looks scrupdillyumpcious! I sure do love chocolate! As for the ice cream, I have not been able to find the coconut milk ice cream in any of the local grocery stores. It sounds wonderful and would like to give it a try!
Banana cake and hand-mixed peanut butter ice cream. Yummy!
