Who doesn't love their own little dessert? These are super-yummy, guilt free plated chocolate cakes from Chef Devin Alexander. Serve with a raspberry coulis if desired.
No eggs in this rich, sweet honey ice cream - just tons of glace (candied) cherries studding the mix! Don`t use maraschino cherries... they`re too mushy - find the candied ones.
A delicious, low-sugar dessert for Spring when all the berries (and rhubarb!) come into season. Substitute sugar for the 2/3 cup Splenda if you like.
There is NO mistaking the involvement of the coffee liqueur in this rich cake - not only is the crumb spiked with Kahlua but the chocolate and cream cheese filling has a tipple too. Buttermilk, butter and oil make this cake super moist, while layer upon layer of flavour is created by dark brown sugar, dark cocoa powder, high-quality chocolate and espresso! Mesquite flour is optional as it's not readily found but it gives an undefinable quality to the flavour and scent of the finished recipe - lightly smoky, sweet, and a blend of chocolate, cinnamon and mocha. The buckwheat flour is also optional but definitely reccommended for tenderness, as is the extra Kahlua flavouring. This is delicious, but definitely NOT a cake for kids!
This is an an Estonian recipe, also known as "Egg White Cake". Light and baked in a tube pan (but a greased one!) like traditional Angel Food cakes, this isn't quite as guiltless with the added butter! The crumb is almost like a pound cake but the slight citrusy taste is divine. Adapted from Nami-Nami:

Adapted from Anna Olson's recipe in "Sugar" for a low-calorie, low-fat fresh indulgence. Just Like Sugar is a natural calorie-free, high-fibre sweetener that is amazing for cooking and baking, used it in my "Very Veggie" cake too. *Note that this recipe contains raw egg*
This is one of my favourite cake fillings for spice cakes and especially Red Velvet cake. I was inspired after making the filling for these cookies: http://www.grouprecipes.com/11052/banana-f
