Recipe Remix: Amma's Caramel Chocolate Cake (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

Image
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

 Since I finally gave in and let myself buy a moleskin, here are some of my sketches so far. Un chien et un cheval qui a les cheveux longues.

Today I made pizza (from scratch!) and drew a picture of a fox. (I also wrote a paper and journalled for school, but you probably don't care about that...)

Supper(s) of champions.

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!

Homemade sushi.

So I've done this before, but never with two of my favourite ladies. It was lovely. And so tasty!  The process...

Busy Crafting!
