Delicious Low Carb Recipe - Flourless Dark Chocolate Espresso Cake

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Tue, 6 Mar 2012 09:23:00 -0800

This absolutely divine chocolate cake is a birthday gift for Mom and David. Happy birthday guys!! This recipe comes from my somewhat-recent obsession with low carb chocolate desserts and from Karina's Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe. Thank you Goddess! I am really excited to try this ... if there is any left after the birthday folks devour their share :) Karina, I hope you are doing better. I know you can't have this recipe with the eggs and probably not even the vegan butter (?) :(

Since I was always one of those kids who failed the basic "read and follow directions" quizzes, I decided to alter Karina's basic recipe to be lower carb. I omitted the organic cane sugar entirely and substituted Stevia, unsweetened pineapple juice, a tad of organic brown sugar for texture, and cinnamon instead. I'll tell you that the batter is fantastic, so I think it will be sweet enough.* I also decided to lump in extra espresso grinds as I blended the batter since fresh espresso grinds can't possibly make it worse. Can't possibly, no way jose.

*This cake is absolutely delicious - it has a rich, fudge-like consistency and deep dark chocolate taste. I will definitely be making this again - possibly for our wedding.

Chocolate Espresso Heaven by the Slice
1 12 oz bag Sunspire unsweetened dark chocolate chips (or your favorite dark chocolate bar)*
1/4 c. hot fresh espresso **
~1 T. fresh espresso grinds (optional, but man its good)
1 T. organic vanilla***
1 T. cinnamon
4 heaping T of unsweetened baking cocoa powder
1/4 c. (powdered) Stevia
1 T. organic brown sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened pineapple juice
6 free range organic eggs, room temperature
2 sticks Earth Balance Vegan light butter, room temperature (I know that's a lot, but it makes the consistency for a flourless cake. See the bottom for a butterless variation.

My first remark is that I used the Vita-Mix for the whole grinding and mixing process. You can use a food processor or your blender if you prefer. The Vitamix made the preparation very fast and fun. I love to watch it go!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat either two cake pans or preferably a large springform pan with nonstick spray. First, add the Stevia, brown sugar, cinnamon, espresso grinds, and chocolate chips to the Vitamix. I did this as I made my second double shot of espresso so I just so happened to have extra grinds to add. It is not as if I used the cake as an excuse to make more espresso, nor as if I used the espresso as an excuse to make the cake - nope. In fact, if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell .. call me. Anyway, grind the chips and dry ingredients up for about 10-15 seconds as shown below. I did this for a very sort time since I wanted to preserve a few whole chips for the cake.

grinding the chocolate chips

Add the pineapple juice and hot espresso. Blend for ~5 seconds until creamy. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla, eggs, and vegan butter. You may wish to scrape off the sides with a spatula before you start blending again to make sure no dry powder is stuck. I just cracked the eggs and poured everything right into the Vitamix as shown below, but if you're not using the Vitamix, beware. The Vitamix has a very large container ( ~8 c.) which makes it perfect for batters like this, smoothies, and soups. However, your blender or food processor may not be this large so be careful not to overflow it.

all batter in the Vitamix, ready to rock n' roll

Replace the lid and mix on variable medium-high for about 30 to 45 seconds until smooth. Again, you may need to use the spatula (or the Vitamix damper) to scrape the sides as you go.

Pour the batter into the greased springform or two cake pans. I made the mistake of only using 1 cake pan and it almost overflowed. We had some tense moments baking, having to quickly slide a cookie sheet under the cake pan to prepare for an overflow. After all, it didn't overflow - thank goodness! If it had, I probably would have been a moron and tried to lick the bottom of the oven after it cooled since it smelled so good :)

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes (for 1 cake pan). You will need to shorten the time for 2 pans - I estimate about 30 minutes or so. Bake until the middle is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to completely cool - hands off (that's a reminder for me). Once cooled, cover and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours or longer so it is nice and firm, thick, and deliciously lip-smacking chewy (think fudge texture but better). My cake edges fell a little but it isn't a problem. Karina recommends pressing the cake gently with the spatula to even out the surface after cooling, but I am too lazy for that so, as I like to say, to each his his/her own. Serve cooled with obnoxious birthday hats :) The hats are optional. I wonder if Burger King still gives out paper crowns for birthday kids?

GF DF Chocolate Cake

No butter flourless dark chocolate espresso cake:
The butter recipe is the exact same, minus the butter. I made a tiny single serving of the batter without the vegan butter as an experiment. It baked for about 12 minutes. Omitting the butter does change the consistency by a fair amount. This variation is sticky and reminiscent of very moist fudge, but still tastes phenomenal. I think both recipes make delicious desserts and I am going to make both again.

No butter GF DF chocolate cake

Rants/ Sidenotes:
* These are gluten and dairy free, but always read the ingredients anyways

** I used freshly ground Newman's Own French Roast beans. They are organic, free trade and shade grown (and on sale at Harris Teeter, yay!)

*** Watch for sales on the fancy organic spices and extracts. We found this organic fair trade vanilla on sale and with a coupon at our local co-op. Getting fair trade spices, herbs, and extracts is important if you can manage it. Supporting the local farmers is vital since usually large haciendas or companies take over the market and either under pay and overwork, or put the locals out of business. Also, the quality of more local fair trade products is better in my experience. Judge for yourself, but just so you know. I might do a post on fair trade issues later.

1 T. organic virgin coconut oil for frying

Seasonings:
oregano
sea salt and pepper

Sweet Potato Pancakes

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Mon, 5 Mar 2012 01:05:00 -0800

1 medium sweet potato, cooked
1/4 c. grated carrot
1 handful raisins
1 t baking powder
2 ripe bananas
1 egg (or can omit if vegan and substitute extra ground flaxseed and a little applesauce)
4 T. brown rice flour
1/2 c. water
Optional: 2 T ground flax
Spices:
cinnamon
Garnish:
1 Handful walnuts

Sweet Potato cooking method with the microwave :

Wash sweet potato thoroughly and poke holes with a fork. Wrap the sweet potato in saran wrap and cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes (depending on microwave). Feel free to also cook it ahead of time in a conventional oven or toaster oven if you object to using a microwave.

When the sweet potato is done, unwrap and let cool. When cool, mash with the skin in a large bowl. Add brown rice flour and baking powder, seasonings, and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, add the egg, raisins, bananas, carrot and water to the mixture and mash.

Pour the batter into a preheated pan with orcagnic virgin cononut oil nd cook until the sides bubble up and turn brown (2 - 3 minutes per side). Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with any topping of agave nectar, honey, Smart Balance, nut butter, or just a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yum!

Serves: 4

Usage Ideas:

Don't just confine these little flavor and vitamin-packed guys to your breakfast plate! Their natural sweetness would make a nice contrast to a spicy pumpkin soup, spicy tomato-based soup, or Cajun grilled grass fed beef (recipes coming soon). Heck, they're pretty addictive and make great snacks as well.

Glycemic Index Note:
The beauty of using a real potato instead of premade sweet potato flour is that you get the skin with all of the vitamins, fiber, and minerals, not to mention the fact that an actual potato is fresh where flours are old and stale from sitting on the grocery shelf.

Don't worry if you don't normally like potato skin- you cannot taste the difference here and it adds additional fiber which lowers the glycemic index of the fruit. Sweet potatoes themselves are lower glycemic index than any other kind of potato, especially white potatoes.

Also, the inclusion of any high quality fats (such as walnuts and flaxseed) also helps to buffer the higher glycemic index of other foods, which is why I include them in so many of my recipes.

This recipe is dairy free and gluten free.

Vegan Dinner Recipe: Mung Bean Pancakes

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:11:00 -0800

It's amazing how good 2 cups of soaked (for eight hours minimum) mung beans, 1/4 cup of soaked basmati rice, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tbs. of tamari, 1 tbs. of sesame oil, 1 cup of shredded, sauteed napa cabbage and carrots, a pinch of cayenne and smoked paprika (to mimic gochugaru) and 1/4 cup of scallions taste when made into Korean-style pancakes. ;)

We really need to make some kimchi to kick these into overdrive -- but they were still pretty awesome.

The dipping sauce was pretty traditional -- tamari, minced scallions, red chili pepper flakes and a little vinegar.

Yummy Chocolate Ice Cream

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:19:00 -0800

Chocolate Ice Cream
Ingredients

7 ounces dark chocolate (70% to 75% cacao), finely chopped
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 large egg yolks
13 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Place chocolate in a medium metal bowl. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir chocolate until melted and smooth. Set melted chocolate aside; let cool slightly.
Whisk milk and cocoa powder in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat until mixture begins to boil; set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks and 7 tablespoons sugar in another medium bowl until very thick ribbons form, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, gradually add hot milk mixture to egg yolk mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Add melted chocolate and whisk to blend. Stir over low heat until slightly thickened and an instant-read thermometer registers 175°, about 5 minutes. Transfer chocolate custard to a large bowl and place over another large bowl of ice water. Stir until chocolate custard is cool.
Bring remaining 6 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small heavy, deep saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush (do not stir), until a dark amber color forms, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Whisk caramel into chocolate custard. Strain into a large container; cover and chill for 2 days.
Process custard in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to another container; freeze for 3 days before eating. DO AHEAD Ice cream can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.

Taco Layer Dip

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:08:00 -0800

34DSWMR3AUJ4

It was Super Bowl Sunday. It was also just hours after saying good to the last student after a weekend of leading a trip of 27 to a youth conference. We were tired. We wanted rest and relaxation. And we wanted a private party chock full of delicious Super Bowl snacks. While Kevin cooked up store-bought fried ravioli, I went to work on this low fat dip of awesomeness.

I have seen many varieties of this dip, so I went with my own instincts and created this delicious dip. I would highly recommend including a layer of homemade gucamole-it tips the scales to make this appetizer/snack/meal over-the-top perfect.

Kevin has always claimed to strongly dislike refried beans, but after adding the additional spices and layering with fresh ingredients, he couldn't get enough--and neither could I. This is one appetizer that's downright healthy. With the low fat ingredients chock full of protein and fiber, combined with fresh vegetables, you can't be it!

Taco Layer Dip {low fat}

serves: a party!

recipe by recipesdream.blogspot.com

Ingredients

1 - 15 oz. can fat free refried beans

1/4 cup water

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cumin

1 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds and ribs removed to lower heat)

1 avocado, finely chopped OR 1 cup fresh guacamole

1 cup finely chopped tomatoes, divided

1/4 cup red onions, finely chopped

1 cup fat free sour cream

Directions

In a medium bowl, stir together beans, water, chili powder and cumin until smooth and creamy.* Spread the beans along the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate (or other serving dish). Layer on jalapeno, avocado , tomatoes (reserving a few for garnish), and onions. Spread with sour cream. Garnish with additional tomatoes.

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover and refrigerate.

*Optional: Beans may be heated, topped with cheese then spread with remaining ingredients for a warm appetizer (or if you just plain prefer your re fried beans hot).

Estonian recipes: fried pork escalopes in marinade

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Tinman) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:30:00 -0800

I'm thrilled to share another wonderful Estonian dish with you - fried pork slices in marinade, served cold. It's been a popular dish on various buffét tables for many decades, and as it can be made ahead - and it keeps well in the fridge - it's a useful recipe to have in your repertoire. You can eat it alongside a traditional potato salad, or perhaps on a slice of good dark rye bread - remember, it's a cold dish.

I've used pork shoulder (kaelakarbonaad) for making this, but you could also use any other soft boneless cut.

Fried pork in marinade

Serves 10 to 12

1 kg boneless pork (blade shoulder, Boston butt, loin)
a scant cup of all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 large eggs, lightly whisked
oil, for frying

Marinade:
1.5 litres water
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 onions, peeled, halved and sliced
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1.5 Tbsp sugar
1.5 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp vinegar (30%)

Cut the pork into 1 cm slices, across the grain. Place the meat between two sheets of cling film or parchment paper. Using a mallet or a rolling pin, pound the meat on both sides until it forms a thin escalope. Cut each escalope into smaller pieces, about 4x5 cm in size.
Season the flour with salt and pepper, dip the meat pieces into flour and then into whisked egg.
Heat the oil on a frying pan over moderate heat. Fry the meat slices until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and transfer into a bowl and let cool.

Now make the marinade. Place all the ingredients - apart from the vinegar - into a small saucepan and bring into a boil. Simmer gently, until the carrot slices are al dente (crisp). Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, and let cool.

Pour the marinade over the meat slices. Cover and let stand for at least 24 hours before serving.
