Dark Chocolate Mini Tarts

Okay, these things were delicious!! Sadly, I only made enough for 8 of them, so that's the measurements I have for you. Also, I made the mistake of trying to remove them from the pan just a bit too soon and ended up having to cut them in half. If left sitting for a longer time they'll come right out. Duh, me!

And here's how it works!



Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups almond flour
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp honey

4 cubes of "Baker's" baking chocolate
1/3 cup coconut oil
4tbsp honey
1 little bag of gelatin

Instructions:

Mix almond flour, butter, and honey into a thick dough for the crust. Grease 8 forms of a whoopie pie pan with coconut oil and press the dough thinly into the molds. You can see on the picture how thin the crust really is. Bake at 340F for about 10 minutes. Let them cool off for about 10 minutes, so the puffiness goes down.

In a saucepan over medium low heat mix the chocolate, coconut oil, and honey and stir to combine. Let it come to a light boil and add the gelatin. Stir for a couple of minutes. Now pour the chocolate to the rim into the molds. Chill in the fridge.

I recommend chilling them for a couple of hours before trying to remove them. I made the mistake of trying to remove them about a half hour after making them. They were NOT DONE. ;) So I waited a bit longer, and that finally did the trick.

They were delicious and quickly devoured by all! :)

Marble cake... German style

In Germany my go-to cake was always marble cake, because generally I'd have the ingredients at home. And I haven't had a piece of marble cake in... well... a really long time!

I decided it was time to paleofy my marble cake, and I'm pleased to report that it turned out really well, although it doesn't rise quite as well as the original. Still, it disappeared within just three days. Success!


Ingredients:

3 cups (maybe just a tad more) almond flour
1/3 cup coconut oil (expeller pressed)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tbsp honey (or more if you like it a bit sweeter)
8 eggs
a dash of salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 285F.
Mix 3 whole eggs, 5 egg yolks and almonds with the melted coconut oil. Add honey, baking powder, and salt. Beat the 5 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Now add about half of the batter into a greased bundt cake pan. Mix the cocoa powder into the other half of the batter, and add to the batter in the pan. To get more of a marbling effect, pull a fork through the batter gently.
Bake for about an hour. DONE! It is really that easy.

If you are into frosting, you could melt some chocolate chips and spread on the cake the way I did.
