My version of the Sauerkraut & Chocolate Cake has 1/3 fewer calories and fat than classic recipes. Slathered in dark chocolate (Vegan) Fudgy Frosting, the moisture from sauerkraut ensures a rich cake with no need for extra fat such as butter or oil. Likewise, the tanginess works like sour cream or vinegar would in other cakes to create a depth in flavor. But don’t fear, mincing it well ensures no stringy bites of fermented cabbage. This bewildering dessert will not merely surprise you, but also be an excellent conversation starter at any Halloween party!
MAKE AHEAD Breakfast for the Non-“Morning Person”: The combo of oats, banana, and a bit of peanut butter makes this a lightly sweetened, but hearty “casserole” made of stuff you probably have in your kitchen right now.
In addition to having a perfectly balanced sweet-tart flavor combination, they’re filthy rich in active goodness for our bodies. These little mock-raisins have a good deal of protein, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A (for healthy skin and eyes). That’s just the beginning!
This gooey, yet light mock version of “boiled” icing is easily made by a fool-proof technique for novices and seasoned cooks alike. My 7 Minute “Fake it” Frosting has great shine, luscious texture, and a delicate flavor. The best part is it can be used as a blank pallet for any flavored cake with a simple switch of extracts or toppings. Its versatility, and delectable flavor will make it a staple in your baking repertoire.
