Pistachio & Brown Butter Icing Cake

Posted on by

This delicious and moist tea cake has a beautiful soft crumble. When paired with the brown butter icing, be warned – it can be deliciously addictive! A thick slab of this undeniably good pistachio cake cannot be devoured without a strong cup of Indian chaa. You’ll be thanking me later.

I’m really enjoying the weather. The crisp spring air blowing through the window makes it the perfect excuse to sit down with a slice of freshly home made cake. Now how many times you decide to do that during a day is entirely up to you.

Go ahead and try this recipe. You are going to love it!

Chai Spiced Pound Cake with Cardamom Honey Glaze

Posted on by

The teatime cravings are real. I’ve made this deliciously spiced cake a couple of times for my family and it has been a hit. It was swiped in a day! It’s moist, buttery rich and super delicate.

I have no idea why it took me so long to figure this out. I mean, who knew subbing spaghetti squash for vermicelli in Sevya would work. For those of us gluten intolerant peeps, I have to say it’s delicious.

A couple of days back, half way through my lunch of spaghetti squash and meatballs, I was already thinking about dessert. Really, what is a meal without dessert. It doesn’t have to be sugar laden or full of fat. Just a piece of fruit with nut butter would do. But, that was not what I was thinking of then. I wanted a warm bowl of sevya and low and behold the idea came to me. If this delicious vegetable satisfied my craving for spaghetti, why not try making sevya with it. And that’s exactly what I did.

Oh my gosh! I can’t tell you how much I’m in love with this heavenly after dinner treat. Actually it’s an any time treat if you ask me, it’s so darn good! And …. sshhhh… Don’t tell anyone there ain’t a speck of cane sugar in here. Yes, you heard me. Seriously there isn’t any sugar and don’t get me wrong, there aren’t any icky artificial sweeteners in it either. It’s pure and clean. Made with date syrup, cocoa chips and grass fed butter. These delightful balls are then rolled in unsweetened cocoa and cocoa nibs.
