the cake that she dreams of!

Hi all,

Been posting tonight on twitter and facebook about this damned cake so thought I'd tell you all about it!
I have vivid dreams, not the mental ideals of waking moments, but the stuff that happens at night, when you're all tucked up and cosy and listening to the rain beat down on the windows!

One night last week I must have been hungry, it may have been that facebook food-posting night that Jo, Lauren and I had.
But I dreamt of the best cake for a fitness trainer/client!

I wanted low fat, high protein, low carb taste great cake.....

The ingredients and the memory of the dream were vague

No flour = ground almonds (protein)
Low fat = coconut oil (more protein)
Low sugar = bananas and a little honey (natural and immune boosting good training food)
Interesting = poppy and linseed and vanilla added

So I set about it! Randomly guessing everything!

4 brown bananas mashed
250g ground almonds
4 tsp honey (local)
2 tsp vanilla
dash of linseed
dash of poppy seed
4 tsp coconut oil
3 eggs
baking powder dramatically strewn
Mix up in some sort of fashion, wack in the oven on a low heat cos of the almonds, cover with tin foil and take out when you think it's sort of ok!

Result = bit crumbly at first when hot but actually a bloody good training food and tasty afternoon snack!
Give it a go!

Dream cake = done!

Sleep well :)
