Three Ingredient Honey Cake with RIND garnish 


This simple, one-layer cake is dense, moist and syrupy. It uses almonds instead of flour, which gives it a rich, toasty texture, and whisked egg whites to give it height.


For Cake: 

4 Eggs

5 TBSP Honey

1/2 Cup Almonds


For Glaze:

1/2 Cup Honey

2 TBSP Fresh Lemon Juice

Pinch of salt

Garnish: RIND Orchard Blend

You will need a small round cake tin. Set oven to 375. Separate the eggs, and whisk the whites to stiff peaks. Beat the yolks with 4 tablespoons of the honey, mixing well. Grind almonds in a food processor to grind them. Mix the ground almonds with the egg yolks and honey, and gradually fold in the egg whites using a metal spoon, being careful not to over-mix and beat out all the air. Transfer the mixture to the cake tin and bake for 25 minutes, lowering the temperature for the final 10 minutes to 350. Allow the cake to cool completely in the tin before turning it out on to a wire rack. Meanwhile, make the honey glaze: Bring honey to a boil in a saucepan, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt. Brush fruitcakes with glaze, and garnish with dried fruit. Brush again with glaze.

Maxines Heavenly Cinnamon Oatmeal Raison Cookies

Ingredients:
  • 8 individual Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (or enough cookies to make 1 ½ cups of cookie crumbles) 
  • 3 cups brown rice crispy cereal
  • ⅓ cup nut/seed butter of choice (We used cashew butter)
  • ⅓ cup natural sweetener of choice agave, *honey or maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons melted coconut oil or 4 tablespoons 

*If Vegan, choose agave, maple syrup or 4 pitted dates. If using dates, soak the dates in warm water for 15 minutes before blending.

Directions:

1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.

2. Place Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies in food processor and blend until cookies create 1 ½ cups of cookie crumbles, which is roughly 8 cookies. *If you want a thicker cookie crust for the bottom of your bars, make 3 cups of cookie crumbles or 16 cookies.

3. Melt 4 tablespoons of coconut oil and pour over cookie crumbles then blend until cookie crumbles are well mixed with the melted coconut oil. *If using 3 cups of cookie crumbles, add 8 tablespoons of melted coconut oil instead of 4.

4. Place cookie crumble mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan and press out evenly using a spatula.

5. Grab a microwave safe bowl and add natural sweetener and nut/seed butter of choice. Heat for 30 seconds then stir. Continue this step until the natural sweetener and nut/seed butter begin to caramelize creating a delicious mixture. Depending on the strength of your microwave, you should only have to do this 2-3 times.

6. Add cereal to nut/seed butter and natural sweetener mixture then fold together with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Be gentle so you don’t crush the cereal.

7. Pour cereal mixture over cookie crust then gently press it down using a spatula.

8. Place baking pan in the freezer for one hour to chill then remove and slice into squares before serving.
