Beets are naturally sweet, and despite their distinctive flavour, they pair really well with chocolate...so well that they're practically undetectable in this recipe.

Vegan German Apple Cake [Apfelkuchen]
This version of traditional German apple cake (apfelkuchen) is vegan friendly and made with spelt flour. Topped with cinnamon, it's a perfect Autumn indulgence that also happens to be high in fiber. Most importantly, in true German apple cake fashion, this recipe retains the soft and moist crumb and develops a perfect caramelized sugar ring around the edge (so good) My family grew up ...
Chocolate Matcha Tea Cupcakes [vegan]
This week, I'm taking the traditional chocolate cupcake to *ahem* greener pastures over on BAKED the Blog.

This recipe was partially inspired by Dolly ...

Orchard Plum Dimple Cake w/ Cinnamon Whip
It's Monday evening, the sky is an overcast purple-grey, a warm mug of chamomile tea gently steeps away on my desk and I'm wearing thick knit socks. The air today was telling of the change of seasons. And much to my delight, I may add. You've heard it said here before, but I'll reiterate to those who may not yet know; I adore autumn and all it's hygge goodness. While Fall is technically ...
