Speedy Gluten Free Falafels & Chickpea Flat breads

Posted in Main Meals by

Falafel 1I love falafels, they are just soooo tasty!!!! So many recipes are quite complicated and take a while due to having to soak chickpeas for agesss. When I discovered this recipe I was very sceptical to how nice they would be considering from start to finish they only take about 10 mins.

 

I decided that the falafels by themselves simply wasn’t enough chickpeas, I may or may not be obsessed! So I decided to make these gorgeous Chickpea Flat breads/ Pancakes they are somewhere in between a pancake and a flat bread. Continue reading →

Gluten Free Carrot CupcakeFor ages and ages I had been wanting/ dreaming of having a Kitchenaid a bright purple Kitchenaid, ogling them every time I went through a department store, saw one on TV or when I looked at them online (Yes I am aware I was obsessed), but being on significantly less hours at work I really couldn’t justify the cost.

I am currently using all of my energy for my up and coming final accounting exam, but I thought that it would be criminal to wait 2 1/2 weeks to use it, so I made these amazing GF carrot cake cupcakes with soft cheese frosting. Continue reading →

Chocolate and Amaretto Frosting

Posted in Baking by

Chocolate FrostingI made up this frosting concoction to go with my fabulous Amaretto & Chocolate Cake (Link) its so simple, tasty but truly very sickly.

I made this cake on a hot day, so I needed to pop it in the fridge as the frosting started to melt and the cake went a little lopsided – easily fixed by straightening it up then popping it in the fridge if this does happen.

This Recipe makes enough to coat the whole of a cake and to fill the centre.

Gluten Free Amaretto Chocolate CakeI baked this cake for my house mates birthday, and it is hands down one of the best cakes I have ever made. It is a little chewy like a brownie at the edges and a cross between a cake and brownie on the inside.
