Coconut Mango Cake – Paleo

Coconut Mango Cake – Paleo

  I had forgotten I made this when I looked through my unpublished recipe pictures. Mango will go on my shopping list for this week. Rum-Almond  sponge cake base: Makes: a round 13cm cake that is 5.5cm high – Cut into a layer that suits your base depth. Prep time: 10 min Cooking: 20min at 200 degree celsius Cooling: 1 hour   For the sponge cake base you need: 5 medium eggs 80g ground almonds – mixed ground nuts work too. 60g organic virgin Coconut oil 3 tbsp Rum 1-2 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting – you could end up with a huge amount of treat -Don’t have any Stevia yet? – you can always use normal sweetener products until you are set...

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

    Use up your leftover fruit that has been sitting in the bowl for ages. It's so tempting to just get rid of slightly soft and shrivelled fruit; when no one in the house gives the soft kiwi or wrinkly plum another look, it's time to convert these perfectly good fruits into a delicious crumble treat. I don't know why, but I keep buying kiwis and then they don't get eaten. It's probably because its not as convinient to eat as an apple, having to peal or scoop it to get to the flesh. Then there is the chance that it is very sour which also seems to put me off. Last time I had to turn my Kiwis into something to get them eaten, I made the Kiwi Coconut Truffels, all refreshing and just right for summer season. Now that the days have started to get darker, my body calls for warmer and starchier desserts like crumble and pies.   Last sunday my craving for  a sweet treat needed dealing...
