A few of my favourite things (in this cake recipe)
July 9th, 2007
Was experimenting in the kitchen as usual and made a very moist cake. I didn’t weigh anything, but as it turned out so well, I will try and make it again sometime with proper measurements.
- sesame seeds, maybe 60g
- almonds, about 40g
- cacao nibs, 20g
- small piece of vanilla bean
First I ground the above ingredients in my nut/seed mill, then I put into the food processor with the following:
- 2 tablespoons carob powder
- 1 tsp mesquite meal
- 3 dates (the fresh chewy kind, any other kind probably soak them first)
I processed this for a while and then added about 40g of cacao butter, which I melted first (so it was liquid) and processed until the mixture formed a cake like consistency.
There was a bit of cacao butter left over so I decided to make some chocolate to go on top, I added cacao powder, carob powder, lucuma, mesquite and agave. (See this post if you’ve not made chocolate before and need more instructions.)
Put in the fridge for a while to set and then devour!
