Animal-Based Cake! (Can be made dairy-free)

This basic cake recipe can easily be turned into any number of cake flavors. Just add another ingredient or two to the classic cake recipe below, and the possibilities are endless!

Basic Vanilla Cake Recipe:

Ingredients:

12 eggs (yes, a dozen eggs)

7/8 Cup coconut flour (scant one cup)

1/2 Cup dairy of your choice: milk, heavy cream, coconut milk, etc

1/2 Cup Butter or Coconut Oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 C raw honey + 1 T vanilla OR 100 drops of Nunaturals liquid vanilla stevia

Optional flavors:

Any kind of berry: Add 2 cups of boiled frozen berries and lightly stir into the batter in the pan, making swirls.

Carrot cake: Add 1 cup finely shredded carrot, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon cloves. Frost with cream cheese frosting (1 room-temperture package of cream cheese with 3 T raw honey OR 15 drops liquid stevia and enough heavy cream poured in during mixing to be frosting-consistency, about 1/8-1/4 cup)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk or immersion blender until smooth. Butter the sides of a baking sheet and lay parchment paper in the bottom. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Frost with homemade whipped cream sweetened with a few drops of liquid vanilla stevia or a little honey and vanilla.

Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries

Probably my favorite dessert in the whole world. Gelled cream, slightly sweetened with stevia, and topped with fresh berries. Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 C heavy raw milk OR half and half

1 packet unflavored powdered gelatin

4 teaspoons honey and a 1/2 teaspoon vanilla OR 20 drops Nunaturals liquid vanilla stevia

pinch salt

1 C fresh berries, I recommend raspberries or sliced strawberries

Directions:

Pour one cup of the milk or cream into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let it stand for a few minutes to “bloom”. Add the honey and vanilla (or vanilla stevia) and salt and stir over medium heat until it’s very warm but not boiling and the gelatin has dissolved. Take off the heat, add the second cup of cold milk and stir. Pour into custard cups or wine glasses and chill until set, 1-2 hours. Top with the berries and serve. Makes 4 servings.
