This must be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made ... Or at least it would have been, had the morning not been a comedy of errors. First up the butter I was melting in the oven (no I don't have a microwave) tipped and spilled as I went to get it out. Interesting upside is that melted butter apparently makes a great cleaner when wiped off the bottom of a hot oven. Who knew. Of course my oven now smells like butter every time it's turned on. Then I completely forgot to put said butter … [Read more...]
Gluten Free Carrot Cake
Hum, it appears any hope of stringing words together in a cohesive sentence has once again left me. I'm blaming it on seemingly never ending days of prep > style > shoot > repeat, occasionally punctuated by sort > sort again > edit > send. Not that I'm complaining -- far from it -- but it seems that spending all day every day in front of a stove and a camera has turned my brain to mush for little other than faffing. In a stand against the mush I've decided it's … [Read more...]
Cranberry Maple Griddle Cakes
Conversations with RJ... J: Do you want a cookie-cake thing for the car? R: YES PLEASE. What's in them?... Cranberries? J: Yep, but I could have added any dried fruit really, the original recipe calls for currants. R: Oh, currants would be nice. J: You don't even know what a current is. R: Yes I do, it's like a raisin, but on a salad. J: Oh you've just written the start of my post. Also, bwahahaha. Have you ever visited a blog and thought you yourself, "I recognise the name and know … [Read more...]
Zebra-Striped Choc-Orange Vegan Cheesecake
I was going to let Halloween pass by this year with nary a mention. Then the other day, after talking to a girlfriend about her over-the-top ghoulish creation, I was bitten by the trick-or-treat bug. So much as I love the crazy Halloween recipes that float across the interwebz this time of year I find myself sticking with a slightly tamer theme -- if you've been here a while you may recognise the colour combo from my Halloween Ice Cream Bars with Chocolate & Green Goo Magic Shell -- … [Read more...]
Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream
There's a distinct possibility I neglected to post this recipe back with THAT cake and THAT buttercream (and originally with THOSE brownies). I didn't really like these photos at the time and figured that I'd re-shoot it sooner than later, but life got in the way (as life does), and for the longest time no one asked about the Whipped Chocolate Coconut Cream filling piece of the puzzle... But the aforementioned cake and buttercream eventually set the world (or at least the … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo too)
I'm calling this Vegan Chocolate Buttercream however it may be more aptly named Vegan Chocolate Not-Buttercream due to the omission of the two main ingredients in buttercream -- butter and an enormous amount of sugar. So if this magical creation really is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free & Probably Paleo how does it exist at all? Air? *whispers* cauliflower. *yells* wait, come back! This is not the first time I've used cauliflower as a dairy … [Read more...]
Best Ever Gluten Free Chocolate Cake (Dairy Free, Nut Free & Probably Paleo too)
This is THAT cake. The one I've been making roughly every other week for the past few months and sharing mercilessly across social media. The one that needs very few words but plenty of photos. The one that stops people in their tracks when they taste it, and again when they realise it's not only gluten free but nut free and dairy free and soy free too, and again when they hear about the frosting. The one I held off on posting until I could justify making a four layer cake by … [Read more...]
