I wanted to make myself and those around me a little treat last weekend. I had a hard time finding what I was looking for, so it ended up being a “two in one” version by combining two different cakes in one. You can make it vegan using margarine instead, and the almond meal can be switched to wheat, coconut or perhaps more of the gluten-free flour.

The first layer is pie dough. I didn’t use any sweetener in this one because I like the salty in contrast to the sweet filling. On top of that I put an apple crumble pie, made with almond meal for a bit more characteristic taste, and lovely oats.

“I felt high on sugar from only a small amount and would never have guessed that it didn’t contain any sugar.”

As sweetener I used powdered Stevia. And if you think that just won’t do it, let me tell you, it does! I felt high on sugar from only a small amount and would never have guessed that it didn’t contain any sugar. It may be due to my sugarless living these past months, and if so, I love it! Hopefully I’ll keep being that sensitive and won’t crave the real deal, aka table sugar.

Sometimes you just want something sweet, right?  To be honest, I find it quite hard to decide what to bake/cook. There’re so many delicious recipes and I want to make them all! However, I’ve been craving chocolate for the last couple of days, so I was so pleased when I made the recipe that I’m going to share with you. The result was absolutely satisfying!

“The final product didn’t disappoint.”

I avoid refined sugar as much as I can. The Swedish brand Cloetta has dark chocolate that’s sweetened with steviol glycosides and maltitol, and it’s also vegan.  Due to my desire to make everything totally vegan, I swapped the dairy products and syrup for coconut cream and agave. And because you only use almond and coconut flour, it’s gluten-free (but if you want to, you can make it with ordinary cream and chocolate instead.) The final product didn’t disappoint.
