I'm so excited to share this cake with you guys!
One of our readers, Emma, asked if I could find her some dairy, soya, gluten and sugar free dessert recipes. Of course I was super excited to figure out some recipes for her!
Dairy, soya and gluten is quite an easy thing for me but sugar free is a bit of a challenge! After a little research I found some really cool ideas!
You are going to get quite a few of these recipes in one go and then I will aim to do 1 recipe a week with these requirements for Emma and everyone else!
My whole family has tested this cake for me but of course my main tester is my daughter. I'm happy to say she couldn't get enough of this cake!
This one is really great because it's so simple and so tasty! And I've shown you some cupcakes as well so that you can have them for snack as well.
You can make 18 cupcakes or 1 large cake!
The frosting was a rather difficult thing to make, it took a lot of research and experimenting to get it right. Joss was a huge help and had several ideas and we finally got it right!
I wanted to cover the whole cake and then cover that in desiccated coconut but I ran out of coconut milk.
Ingredients
60ml Olive Oil
200ml Milk - I use oat but any milk you would like to use will work
Juice from 1 Lemon
8 tbsp Organic Honey
2 tsp Vanilla Essence
150g Ground Almonds
150g Gluten Free Flour
2 heaped tsp Baking Powder (Gluten Free)
¼ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
Frosting
2 x 400ml Coconut milk - Chilled in the fridge over night
½ Cup Cocoa Powder - Optional
Method
* Preheat the oven to 180C
* Grease 2 pie tins or prepare 18 cupcake cases
* In a large bowl milk the oil, milk, lemon juice, honey, vanilla essence and ground almonds. Mix well.
* Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarb. Mix till smooth.
You can add some more milk if the mixture it too thick.
* Pour the mix into your tin or cupcake cases.
* Bake for 15 minutes or until you can put a toothpick in and it comes out clean.
* Let cool before adding the frosting.
Frosting;
* Turn the coconut milk tin upside down. This makes the cream and the water separate so it's easy for you to drain the water.
* Drain the water out.
* Place the creamy bit in a large bowl.
* Whisk until thick and stays in place.
* Sift in cocoa powder if you are using it.
* Place in the fridge until ready to use.
* Pipe frosting onto your cakes.
Serve
Enjoy!
