This week, I'm taking the traditional chocolate cupcake to *ahem* greener pastures over on BAKED the Blog. Not that there is anything wrong with a good, old fashioned chocolate cupcake, however, there's something to be said for combining chocolate and matcha green tea. If you caught my baking with Matcha tutorial on BAKED earlier this week, you're hopefully feeling inspired to give it a ...

Holiday Chocolate Bundt Cake w/ Peppermint Ganache [vegan]

ADAPTOGENIC CHOCOLATE REISHI WELLNESS BLEND
