{Semi-Cheating} Cake
So this afternoon I had some free time, and I just had to do some baking. I mean, seriously? 30 whole days without baking? And I have a new itty bitty cake stand I bought with birthday money that I hadn't been able to use yet. So I cheated. I just had to. I know, seriously. There goes that.
Well, that's not the end. I'm getting back on the wagon tomorrow. It's going to happen.
Also, I discovered kiwi berries today. They are so cool!
I made the same flourless chocolate cake I've made in the past. I figured at least then we wouldn't be having the grain, and I used coconut oil instead of butter. The sugar, well, that's a different story.
Then I attempted some dairy-free frosting. So I wasn't TOTALLY giving up on everything. The frosting used coconut milk, coconut oil, and dairy-free, soy-free butter substitute. Again, the sugar couldn't be helped. Oops.
The frosting was a little . . . goopy. So it slid down and I couldn't really do much to make the cake pretty. So I just added a little sanding sugar on top so it had a little pizzaz. Even if it looked kinda sloppy. The frosting tasted good, though! {Mmm, sugar!}
So tonight after dinner, we'll enjoy a little tiny bit of cake. And then tomorrow, it's back to no added sugar! Promise!
