Nowadays, many grandmas would be very much in an “awkward” situation if they wanted to cook to their grandkids, millennials, generation X (Generation X? What?), generation Z, among many others want the latest trend! They want it gluten-free or vegan or raw or healthy or fair trade or if the Cardassians post it on Instagram all of them. If the great grandma raised her head from the grave…
How is grandma going to put that love in shape of lard, meat, butter, gelatine, honey, eggs and so on so forth? The answer comes in the phrase says “adapt, improvise, overcome”. With a bit of imagination and effort, it’s possible to create something edible, full of love and trendy-like, even gluten-free.
Today we present a vegan/vegetarian raw (ish) cake, kinda healthy and open to many variations from this base.
