Once upon a time I started a blog and never updated it.... Here is my version of my Amma's Caramel Chocolate Cake, deliciously remixed as vegan and gluten-free. If you use eggs, it is dairy and gluten-free but obviously not vegan. It would change the cake texture slightly but as you can see from the photo, it's quite "cake-ish" even without eggs. I used this Gluten & Dairy-Free Chocolate Olive Oil Cake recipe from Baked Bree with a few modifications. My Modified Cake Recipe: 6 Tablespoons cocoa powder 1/2 cup boiling water (microwaved in a glass measuring cup for 3 minutes) 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 cup almond meal (I buy almond meal from Bulk Barn but you can also make your own with a food processor, vitamix, or coffee grinder. It's actually really easy, I promise) 1/2 cup coconut flour (the original recipe just uses 1 1/2 cups almond meal, which would work perfectly well, I'm sure) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt ...
This will be the place where I post pictures and information about the things that I love creating, making, and doing. A bit about me: (photo by Chris Janzen, Christmas 2011) I'm a student. I'm a wife. I'm a daughter and a sister and an aunt. I sing and write music about love and nature and the sweet things in life. I sometimes paint, often draw, and am always working on some sort of project. I'm domestic (but I don't wash dishes). I bake, sew, cook, crochet, and have a soft spot for photography.
By "champions" I actually mean, "happy married couple" (happy because we are no longer hungry for supper!) Perogies and farmer sausage with salad and, to top it all off, nos bière de choix!
