Coconut Love Cake

April 24, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

Living in Hamilton, Raglan has only ever been a stones throw away and has been a big part of my childhood and growing up. So when you hear about so many neat small businesses coming out of Raglan, you really want to spotlight them as they feel like part of the family.

However Raglan Coconut Yoghurt have been doing pretty well for themselves, developing a delicious and creamy dairy free alternative to regular yogurt. With its coconutty goodness it’s quite the unique and incredibly moreish experience.

Recently I’ve had the chance to collaborate with Raglan Coconut Yoghurt and do a bit of research into dairy free baking. This lead me down a road I never thought I’d take and found myself really curious about raw and whole foods, gluten and dairy free alternative as well as considering where my sugar comes from and is it unrefined or not.

So today I bring you Baker Gatherer’s very first baking recipe which is both gluten and dairy free as well as using unrefined sugars. This has been such a positive learning experience, I look forward to trying out more similar recipes in the future.

Now growing up my mother would quite often make this Love Cake below, with Persian origins my mum’s recipe was by far not gluten or dairy free. So by tweaking one of my childhood favourites I introduce to you my Coconut Love Cake.

I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh I’ve become slightly obsessed with making fresh fruit slushies and frozen cocktail this summer. It’s been a great way to cool down and also enjoy a warm evening or two with friends. Below is a recipe for an Aperol Spritz Slushie that I’ve really been enjoying recently. Super quick and easy to make, especially since the 3X Bluicer Pro from @brevilleappliancesnz not only crushes the ice and blends everything together, I can also juice fresh oranges and lemons directly into the blending jug. Perfect for summer entertaining, let me know if you try this quick Slushie recipe.
