Double height and two tier cakes, perfect for a larger celebration. Portions generally start from around 50 to over 100.

Guess the theme of the day 🤭.
Some of the cakes I’ve had the privilege of making in recent months.
It’s always my pleasure to be able to contribute to someone celebration, whether it’s a pink cake or not 😆

My first post in ages and I decided to just go for it and try my first real with audio 🤭. Everybody has to start somewhere so just ignore the Ers and Ums and the lip smacking I clearly ate a lemon for my lunch 😆

No disrespect to its legit full fat full sugar counterpart but if you’re looking for something bespoke and totally customisable to gift someone who may have a dairy or gluten intolerance, be diabetic or just trying to be healthier amongst all the temptations out there when celebrating, this is the brownie for you. Feel virtuous and decadent with a healthier brownie.

Healthier choice Brownies.

Ingredients

🫘400g tin black beans rinsed
🍠150-200g baked or steamed sweet potato
📆4 tablespoons date puree (see brownie prep for details)
🥚2 eggs (medium or large)
🍬4tbls of liquid sweetener (Agave, Yacon, Maple, honey)
🧈4tbls of melted coconut oil
🍦1tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Dry ingredients

🥣4tbls Oat flour (or other flour)
☕️6tbls cocoa
🧁0.5tsp Baking powder
🧂0.25tsp salt
🍫6tbls Dark chocolate chips (I used 55% & 70%)

🥜Optional nuts depending on allergies (see notes)

Brownie prep

12 pitted Majool dates soaked in hot water then blended to a paste. You will need 4 tables spoons of the puree the rest can be stored and used to sweeten things like Greek yogurt

Large sweet potato peeled and steamed or roasted until tender. You will need 150g-200g. I just shoved most of a whole large one in and munched on maybe a quarter of it 😆.

Oats, I used whole oats and blitzed in the blender to make a flour.

Instructions.

Follow brownie prep for the date puree, oat flour and sweet potato.

In a separate large bowl, combine dry ingredients including the chocolate chips and any optional ingredients like nuts

In a blender, add eggs, date puree, black beans and liquid sweetener(s) and blend until black beans become a puree. Scrape down the sides of the blender and add the cooked and cooled sweet potato and blend again until all ingredients are combined and pureed. If the blender is struggling, add a couple tablespoons of water one at a time until the blender can form a nice purée that should be slightly fluid.

Add the purée ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to form a fairly stiff batter/dough.
Spoon batter/dough into the baking tin (sprinkle on additional choc chip is using). Cook at 180c for 35 mins or until the centre of the brownie feels only just firm to the touch. Careful to not over bake any brownie is always nicest when slightly underbaked and gooey.

If you got this far, Enjoy ☺️

So it’s been nearly a year since I last posted. I’ve been conducting a social experiment (kind of). I’ve not used social media to further business in the last 10months just to see impact on orders. And now I will spam you all with last years cakes to see if it increases orders 😆.

However I’m starting with something a little different. I am currently inundated on socials with healthy eating posts, think they’re trying to tell me something. Anyway I made some healthy brownies and took them to for a taste test with the lovely ladies and gents about to kick some bums in Combat (my fav class of the week 🥰). Feedback was 🙌.

I’ll follow this already wordy post with an even wordier post including the recipe.

Pristine edges on this one, you’ve no idea how satisfying when I achieve a lovely crisp edge without going too far and taking too long. It’s my ‘thing’ what can I say 😆.
Thought the colours on this were insane against the black. Inspiration for colours was past and present cars

Always stumble over what to write when posting so I’m just sticking with stating the obvious. 🤪

More pink but this time with bows and butterflies.

But what flavour’s inside or what flavour would you like to see inside?

Im regularly asked what my flavour menu is and while I have a menu, the combos are a suggestion. What I want to answer when asked is… whatever flavour you can come up with, the skies the limit.
Texture is also a factor for me, not only the cake texture and the buttercream, which is usually a light, smooth, balanced Swiss meringue buttercream or ganache, but texture in the filling whether that’s crispy caramel flakes alongside fudge frosting or slightly chewy candied fruit pieces with a lemon buttercream.
