Let's start with the naughty but delicious number. For my birthday I ate cake! And because I made this exception to have a treat I had to make the best cake ever, and I think I nailed it! I googled the phrase 'best chocolate cake ever' and this link from 'Add a pinch' was the first hit. Man it delivered. Yum! I even made it with relatively healthy ingredients (bar the TWO cups of sugar), substituting white flour for wholemeal and using coconut oil. Was very decadent.
Next, a sweet treat that you can eat pretty much every day based on it's low calorie count and with a good balanced diet it's a great snack. My husband LOVES these muffins.
And last but not least a super yummy lunch meal that is so super easy to make. My friends from university and I catch up every school holidays. We each bring a plate (or two) of food and have a wee korero. This slice is often bought by another friend and I just have to share the recipe because it is just that good. We love lunch cake!
