Black Forest Brownie Cake 🍒🤍🍫

The original recipe for this chocolate cherry brownie cake is by Radhi Devlukia-Shetty in her cookbook: “JoyFULL” (but we made a few tweaks based on ingredient availability at a friend’s house). I’m totally loving the savoury recipes in Radhi’s book, and also make her moon milk recipes almost every night before bed. So I thought it would be fun to try her brownie cake recipe - It’s gluten free, egg free, dairy free, refined sugar free & vegan. And instead of stacking & “icing

Decadent, yet super easy to make, flourless chocolate cake. It’s completely flour-less (not even almond flour!! So nut-free too!)

Colour Changing Lemonade 🩷💜💙 Recipe

It goes by many names: Magic Lemonade, Galaxy Lemonade or Mermaid Lemonade, and it involves adding blue matcha/butterfly pea flower tea to lemonade.

Plum Crumble Bars | gf, df, vegan

We recently bought WAY too many yellow plums from a local farm market, and after eating our fill of them fresh/as is, it’s time to start turning them into yummy baked goods.
