Sweetest, darkest, strawberry-chocolate cake EVER!

When people think of preparing vegan recipes, most of them assume a few things: It's going to be difficult buying substitutes for animal products, it's going to be time-consuming to prepare, and it won't be very satisfying to eat. With my birthday coming up real quick I want to take away a lot of these misconceptions about vegan food. Starting with this mindblowing chocolate cake.  I love the challenge of adapting recipes for people's favorite foods so when my friends and family told me they all loved chocolate cake (who doesn’t?) I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to surprise them all with this sweetest, darkest strawberry-chocolate cake ever!!

Nutbutter Chocolate Granola

Last night my boyfriend was watching football, which isnt really interesting me, so after a polite 5 minutes of oeeh´s and aaaaw´s I sneaked into the kitchen to try out this recipe that I has been on my mind all day -- Crunchy Nutbutter Chocolate Granola! Perfect when you want to spice up your smoothies and soy yoghurt. This is also delicious with cashew milk or almond milk.

Nutbutter Chocolate Granola
What you need
1 cup buckwheat (buckinis)
1 cup of coconut flakes
5 tbsp of raw agave syrup
3 tbsp of nutbutter (I used almond butter)
3 tbsp of carob powder
3 tbsp coconut oil
Handful of mulberries

Directions
Start with preheating your oven to 120 degrees celcius/250 degrees fahrenheit. Melt the coconut oil and mix together with your agave syrup and nutbutter until you have a smooth consistency. Add the buckinis, coconut flakes and carob powder (leave out the mulberries) and swirl until everything is covered with your nutbutter paste. Line a tray with baking paper and pour your mixture onto it. Place the tray into your oven for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes take out and let it cool. Add the mulberries (puffed quinoa and cacao nibs work wonders too) and ENJOY!

Love,
Sanne
