My 30th Birthday Cake
Cakes, Paleo
My 30th birthday request from Jared was a cake. Birthday cakes are big in my family but I haven’t had one since my friend Lauren made me raw cupcakes when I…
You will need:
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 1/4 cups almond/coconut milk (DIY version HERE)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
If you want to make you’re own nut milk you’ll also need to pick up a Nut Milk Bag – (They’re an inexpensive kitchen addition but so great for making all your own nut milks! THIS is the one we love.)
To serve: 4 mini bowls or 2 large ones
Toppings: We like bananas, berries, and other fresh fruit, chopped nuts, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, nut butter, honey, chocolate sauce… anything you can dream up really!
In short: That’s it! Mix them together well so that there are no clumps of seeds, cover, and set in the fridge overnight. I like to use a 50:50 almond and coconut milk for this one so that the coconut flavour really comes through, and I alter the DIY nut milk recipe so that it has 3 dates instead of 1 to give the final pudding a little more sweetness, but any milk will do.
The vanilla powder I like as it’s a raw recipe and I don’t want the usual alcohol (and often sugar) of a vanilla extract, plus I think the flavour of the ground bean powder is far richer and nicer than the extract, but you can use either.

This delicious skillet breakfast happens at least once a week in our kitchen, and I usually make extras to eat through the week with quinoa or on a salad, or to go…
My weekdays run on pre prepped veggie bowls. They’re the best for doing mass prep in one go and then getting to tuck into hearty nutritious food with minimal prep…
Raw desserts are my favorite and the ones I happily eat for breakfast lunch and dinner with no guilt or regret, so I knew that’s what I wanted to put…
