    1 tsp Vanilla

    3 TBSP Condensed milk (I used Coconut Cream)

    To make the Cake:

    Whisk flour, cacao, and salt together.  In a separate bowl whisk room temperature eggs and sugar together until light and airy. 

    Add flour mixture and mix well until creamy.

    Spray an 8×8 baking pan/stone.  Line with parchment paper.

    Pour in batter.  Cook at 350 for 10-12 mins.

    To make the filling:

    Whisk or blend (easiest) the ingredients together.  

    Cut the cake in half. Then cut longways to create a wafer bottom and top.  

    Spread the filling on one side of the cake, then top with the other half.

      Chocolate Cherry Drop Cookies

        Chocolate Cherry Drop Cookies 

        (Adapted from Terry Lynn’s Recipe)

        Gluten Free, Vegan

        Makes 2 dozen

         

        So, I decided that I wanted to enjoy the holidays without a stomachache this year.  I want all the sights, sounds, lights and TASTES that remind me of Christmas and family.  I was talking with my sister and looking through her recipes, all the hand written notes and recipes that have been passed on through the years.  I wanted to write down all the originals and also make a “new recipe” for the current times.  SO many clients of mine (myself included) have dairy or gluten allergies and I know we feel left out sometimes and or then sick later if we indulge in our “old favorites”.  So, here is my first recipe that I adapted from one of my mom’s recipes.  I will also post the originals so you can learn how to make substitutions with your family favorites.
