I got a request/challenge from a local business owner to make a cake for the store on St. Pat's party. She sent me a link to a Pinerest cake. I of course could not pass this up. I made my rendition of this cake. Making it a little bit healthier.
As I said I would share my failures with you and here is one. I really wanted to stay away from artificial ingredients and really want to add a natural color. I tried to cook some spinach down to pull the color from it. I just could not get a strong enough green. ( there is some natural coloring I can buy I was trying to avoid that cost)
After baking
We all love chocolate. I decided to make a healthy chocolate topping.
To make this to fit a 9 x 13 you need:
2/3 cup pitted Dates
1 cup of Milk
3 T of coco powder
blend dates and milk to get a nice consistency
add coco mix well. Put in pan and boil till it thickens up.
Whip cream top:
I used about a half of this carton of Heavy Whipping cream and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. Added 3 drops of Peppermint Oil. I wipe until it forms peaks.
I then chopped ups some Andes Mints to top off.
Enjoy.
I got rave reviews from everyone. I even got a marriage proposal. Hehehe
