Flourless Choc Espresso Cake - Quirky Jo p 176
« on: June 24, 2014, 06:32:24 am »
Oh Yum!

Mine came out looking like the picture in the book, so I was stoked!

I made a couple of changes...
Used macadamias instead of walnuts as I didn't have any. Nearly forgot to put the macadamias in, so the mix was well stirred by the time it was done!
Only put in 95g sugar (raw, had no coconut sugar) and could go less again I think.
Vanilla essence (home made, so it is brandy based) instead of rum (had none of that either!)

My GF friends loved it, so it is a keeper!  ;D

Do it, do it, do it!

Thin slices though ladies, it is rich!

Although having thin slices makes you feel better when you have 2, instead of one fat slice!  ;D

Well that's my theory anyway  ;D ;D

Haha Nikkit, I always cut myself a smaller slice and then go back for another slice trying to justify that the first one was only a titbit!  My DD made this with almonds and she said it was great.
