I’m not trying to convince you here, but his cake is absolutely delicious! It is perfect for those of you that are allergic to eggs, don’t want a lot of sugar, allergic or don’t want gluten, etc. You can substitute 4 eggs for the chia seeds if you so choose. All ingredients used in this feature are organic, sugar free, egg free, grain free, gluten free, nut free and GMO free :-)!
Recipe:
4 tbsp organic chia seeds soaked in 3/4 cup hot water for 5-10 minutes or longer until gelled (or 4 eggs if you want to substitute)
1 c organic coconut flour
1 tsp organic vanilla
1 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp organic cinnamon
1 tsp organic ginger
1/2 tsp organic cloves
1/2 tsp organic nutmeg
1/3 cup organic unrefined Coconut oil
4 very ripe organic bananas, broken into pieces
1 lb organic freshly grated carrots (I use a food processor)
Combine all ingredients and blend very well in a stand mixer. You cannot over mix it. Divide into 2 generously greased 6 inch cake pans. I use coconut oil to grease the pan.
Bake 350 for 1 hour
Allow to cool and frost cake
Frosting Recipe:
1 cup unsalted grass fed butter, room temperature
1 pint raw grass fed quark*, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla
* 1 cup organic powdered sugar
You may use more, less or zero sugar depending on your taste. Combine all ingredients in stand mixer. Mix well.
- Quark is available from farms that sell raw grass fed dairy or you can make your own from raw whole milk. To find a farm near you: www.realmilk.com
