Book of Revelation

"And a blanket of silence hovered over the interwebs.
And then, with the quiet rustle of 100 dried leaves, the words:
'We are so not googling ass tubes.'"

-Book of Revelation (Ass:Tube)

Asstubesayswhat?

Ok. So maybe I'm having an uncharacteristically prudish or naive moment or something, but WHAT THE FUCK IS AN ASS TUBE??

Please dear god: someone just TELL me!!!

In the past few days, that's apparently been the #1 search drawing people to this blog, and that just seems WRONG seeing as I don't even know what one IS!

How you will now win my undenying vegan devotion:

Would someone please please please google this for me and leave me a comment explaining what it is??

I can't really google it at work, you know what I'm saying?

And I have an urgent desire to know.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Chocolate Cake with Oreo Buttercream Frosting

*Shouting at the top of my lungs*

CAKE!

CAKE!

IT'S NO FAKE!

FECES

CHOCOLATE CAKE!

*/end shouting*

I made this for me and my brother since our b-days are 2 days apart (there's actually 3 of us born within the same week--yes, my parents apparently only shacked up once a year in the spring, and then they were done for the rest of the year). We ate it while half-groggy and slightly tanked.

It is the easy chocolate cake from Vegweb. And boy was it easy. *COUchocolateSLUT'SmorelikeitGH*

I was able to bake it in two cake pans. It was nice and moist. And it was delightfully chocolatey.

I topped it with the fluffy buttercream frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World which is like the best frosting recipe ever. Half the frosting I added crushed oreos to, so as you can see, the cake is half and half.
