Holiday Chocolate Cake Recipe

Nancy Addison — Sat, 04 Nov 2023 13:45:04 +0000

This month is my birthday!
My mother always made this special cake for our birthdays and other celebrations.
She baked it in a large cookie sheet with a 1-inch side. It’s like a big brownie with icing.

Mom used white refined flour and white sugar for this recipe,
but it’s just as great using the healthier versions of organic flour, butter, and sugar.

I am showing this recipe non-gluten-free,
but in the “variations” I tell you how to make it gluten-free.

Cake Ingredients

2 c. organic flour
2 c. whole, organic, unrefined sugar (you can also use date sugar)
2 sticks butter
4 T. cocoa
1 c. pure water
1⁄2 c. buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Sift together flour and sugar in a bowl.
3. Separately mix in a saucepan butter, cocoa, and water.
Bring to a rapid boil, and then pour over flour and sugar.
Stir well.
4. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla, and mix well.
5. Pour cake into a well-greased 11×16 baking sheet or pan that is at least a half-inch deep.
6. Bake 20 minutes.

Variation: For a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour and
add 1/4 cup of tapioca flour in addition to that, to help the flour bind better.

Icing Ingredients

1 stick butter
4 T. cocoa
6 T. milk
1 box organic powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. pecans, chopped

Directions:

1. While cake is baking, melt together and bring to a boil butter, cocoa, and milk.
2. Remove quickly from the heat.
3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Beat together well.
4. Spread icing on cake as soon as it comes out of the oven and is still hot.

Serving size: 10–12 servings

Chocolate Covered Bananas On A Stick – Gluten-free & Vegan

Nancy Addison — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 15:13:15 +0000

This is a fun and healthy recipe to make, as well as to enjoy, that can contribute to lifting your spirits.

Bananas are high in vitamin B6, which helps synthesize feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which can lift your mood.

Cacao is a good source of magnesium, which reduces anxiety
and boosts the mood, as well as helps the function of over
300 enzymes in the body. Magnesium is also essential for bone and teeth structure.

You will need to start this recipe the day before or a few hours before you wish to serve them.

You will need some parchment or wax paper to allow them to dry after they are dipped into the mixture. Another option is to coat the bottom of a dish with healthy coconut oil so they hopefully won’t stick to the dish as they dry.

Recipe For Chocolate-Covered Bananas On A Stick

Ingredients

Ripe bananas (the number depends on how many you wish to make.)

Raw cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup for each banana)

Raw, organic coconut oil or avocado oil (Adjust the oil for the amount of chocolate you are melting. I use about ¼ cup of oil to each ½ cup of chocolate.)

Optional: Ground-up Sprouted Nuts, sprouted seeds, or coconut flakes for coating the chocolate bananas (choose what you enjoy with chocolate and bananas.)

Directions

1. Cut ripe bananas in half. Then place a popsicle stick in the flat end of the banana, where it is cut, and slide it halfway up the banana.

Wrap the bananas in parchment paper, then wrap them in foil and freeze them.

If using a ground-up mixture to coat the chocolate-dipped bananas in, place them in separate shallow glass dishes and set aside.
Take some organic coconut oil and start to melt it in the top of a double boiler.

5. Put the coconut oil and cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips in a double boiler and stir them, and melt the mixture until it’s creamy.

6. Take the frozen bananas out of the freezer.

7. Pour the warm chocolate and healthy fat mixture into a small, narrow canning jar or heatproof glass.

8. Then dip the bananas on a stick into the chocolate mixture.

9. If you are using a ground-up coating, roll the moist chocolate bananas in the toppings at this time. (This is optional.)

10. Place them on wax paper or a greased pan to cool.
You can also place them in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process.

11. When the chocolate becomes hard, they are ready to serve. Serve them as a fun side dish, dessert, or treat

Variations –

1. You can make smiling faces on your bananas! Be creative!

2. You can also use fruits like sliced kiwi, orange sections, or pineapple slices to dip in the chocolate also! You can do these variations without the stick.

Note:

1. I grind up cacao nibs, chocolate chips, sprouted seeds and nuts in my coffee bean grinder and it makes it easier to melt. You can do it without this, it just takes a little longer.

2. I Avoid and NEVER Purchase “Fractionated coconut oil,” because it is a TRANS FAT. I know they say it’s not, but I don’t believe them. It is molecularly changed and I recommend never using it, even with essential oils.
