chocolate and strawberry cake |
|
Today marks the first day of not being in childcare! Since I was 16 I have looked after children and worked in the childcare industry so today has been a little weird and extremely quiet! It has been quite nice though I must admit. So, I thought why not celebrate with making a cake! I sat down for a while and wrote down loads of ideas, flavour combinations and ingredient combinations (and a bit of doodling) to eventually think that, do you know what?! Chocolate and strawberry make an AWESOME combo! I had most of the ingredients in but I took a walk to my local Lidl and Tesco to stock up on the few bits I didn't have. When back home it was oven on and bake!
Here's what you will need:
Ingredients-
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1/2 cup almond milk

100g dark chocolate
1 cup strawberries (I used frozen)
Coconut oil (for greasing)
Utensils-
Medium mixing bowl
Small bowl
Measuring cups
Scales

-Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir until fully combined
-Break the dark chocolate into pieces- these can be as big or little as you like
- Add the chocolate and strawberries to your mixture and stir them in gently making sure they are evenly spread throughout
- Tip the mixture into your cake tin and smooth out
