Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup Shaklee Instant Protein
¼ cup raw cacao powder (it’s a superfood!)
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup dark organic chocolate chips
1 cup raw honey
2 free-range eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray or grease your cake pan. We used a cake pop, gingerbread, and snowflake silicon pan.
Combine the dry ingredients (almond flour, cacao powder, sea salt, baking soda, and chocolate chips) in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients (honey, eggs, and vanilla). Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and mix until well combined. Pour the batter into your cake pan.
Bake for 20 minutes depending on size. (We had to keep a watch on our since we were using several different shapes). At the 15 minute mark, use a knife and insert into the middle to see if the knife comes out clean. If so, the cakes are done.
Let cool before icing or decorating. We used honey to drizzle and then sprinkled shredded coconut. We also used our Dairy Free Whipped Cream and All-Natural Peppermint Chips. We also made cake pops using cake pop sticks.

Whipped “Cream”

June 26, 2012 By Brooke Leave a Comment

Here is a great substitute for that fluffy, processed whipped cream in a tub! With many of Americans suffering from Lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivity, it’s great to learn this simple recipe to replace the heavy cream in your desserts.

Cashews are an amazing source of nutrition! Not only are they tasty, but studies have shown they can help in the following ways:

cancer prevention
gallstone prevention
fights depression
assists weight loss
hair and skin health
helps nerves
bone health
heart health

Cashew Whipped “Cream”

Ingredients

2 cups, whole, raw cashews
1 cup fresh juiced apple juice (try white grape juice as well)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch Himalayan salt (optional)

Rinse the cashews well in cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to 30 minutes and drain.

Place the nuts in the pitcher of a high powered blender, like the BlendTec, and add the juice, vanilla extract, and salt if using.

Pulse until the mixture starts to get smooth and let blend on medium to high speed for two to three minutes or until it is creamy.

For best results, refrigerate for at least one hour. Try serving on our delicious healthy brownies or simply over a bowl of seasonal fruit. You can also freeze this very well into small dots (by using a pastry bag or plastic bag with a small corner cut off) onto a cookie sheet for a frozen treat during the hot summer days.
