Simple Apple Cake - just for one!

This is a great little cake - so easy to make & it takes no time at all.
Wonderful as an afternoon treat or dessert..... or anytime you want really.

I love Pyrex jugs for mixing in, of course you can use another jug or small bowl.
This is what you put in it!

1/2 cup spelt flour
1 teaspoon dry sweetner (I used stevia)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Mix the flours together until well combined.
Make a well in the center and add:
2 tablespoons applesauce
2 tablespoons vanilla soymilk

Combine well.

Pour into a ramekin that has been lightly sprayed with oil.
I must admit I did use a rather 'large' ramekin for this one. Its diameter is 10cm.
Microwave for 1minute20seconds (this was in our 1100W microwave). You may need to adjust time slightly for your own microwave. I recommend doing 20 second intervals.

You know the cake is done when you lightly press in the center and its not sticky & will spring back up.

While the cake is cooking (such hard work that it is) combine 1 tablespoon applesauce with 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar. Mix well.

Pour over the warm cake & sprinkle broken piece of nuts on top. Pecans go well with apple flavour.

These are spoon marks I promise!

Banana Soft Serve

This is a quick & easy way to make "ice-cream"
Fantastic for kids too - not full of sugar like store bought soft serve.

You'll need:

2 frozen bananas
1 heaped tablespoon smooth        natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon of cacao powder (or cocoa powder if you choose)
2 tablespoon chocolate soymilk

Put into a mini food processor and blend til well combined.

Pour into a serving glass & sprinkle with granulated nuts.

Choc-molten Cake

mmmmmmmmmmm, so goo-d!
Who doesn't love warm & gooey chocolate inside a cake???

OK, so yes I was craving chocolate!
I just wanted the most chocolate I could put in my mouth at once.....
And chocolate I got!


In a small jug or bowl, combine:

1/3 cup self raising flour
1 heaped tablespoon cocoa powder
1 heaped tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup soymilk
Stir until well combined & the mixture forms a batter.

Lightly spray with oil a ramekin.
Pour half of the batter into the ramekin.
Gently press 2 cubes (or more if you desire) into the batter - not all the way to the bottom though.
Cover the chocolate cubes with the remainder of the batter.
Optionsal: Put 2 more chocolate cubes on the top of the cake and gently press into the batter.

Microwave for 1 minute.
You could also place it in the oven if you desired, 15 mins on 180 should do the trick. But that would be far too long for me to wait when craving chocolate ;-)


Be careful when removing the ramekin from the microwave as it could be quite hot.

Scrap down the sides of the ramekin to help release the cake.
Put in a bowl & devour....
Serves one ONLY!

Added Choc Top Option

Day 2 - A chocolatey sort of day

Let's begin today with breakfast - as that's where most days begin :-)

mmmmmmmmmmm muffins - complete with chocolate soymilk.

Ok, so I didn't really just have one muffin ;-)

Lunch I decided to indulge in some fresh produce & made myself a plate full of salad.
Quite tasty.

Nothing plain about a salad when you add enough flavour to it

Here's todays Lunchbox:

This is one of my daughter's favourite sandwiches - tofutti cream cheese, with strawberries and cinnamon.
To compliment the cinnamon she has a mini hot cross bun for morning tea & an apricot.


Now, be honest - if you were given all these gorgeous little friands - could you stop at just one?!?
I can't that's for sure!

For dinner I made my lentil loaf  with mushrooms. I used BBQ sauce instead of pasta sauce. Served with steamed green beans.

To complete the day I made a single serve chocolate microwave cake :-)

So easy to mix a few tablespoons of bits together.....

Awaiting its trip to the microwave

One minute later and its done!

 Smoother with chocolate sauce & devour..................
