Six Layer Cake



I once again tried the six layer cake (using the "rainbow Cake recipe") in a previous post. This time I went for a "watercolor" effect, using shades of one color. I think this would work perfect for a color-themed party or baby shower (in shades of pink or blue).

GLUTEN FREE Chocolate Chip Scones

I have a new favorite scone recipe. BabyCakes raspberry scones were top of my list for a long time, but these Chocolate Chip scones are tough to beat!

My Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Scones have been tested by my "gluten-loving" family, and they have been given rave reviews!!

Here is my super-easy {and flexible} recipe 
{preheat oven to 350}

• 2 1/2 cups of almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

whisk together dry ingredients---

• 1/3 cup of coconut oil or grapeseed oil
   {i used 1/2 of each to equal 1/3 cup}
• 1/3 cup agave nectar
• 2 large eggs

whisk together wet ingredients---

• fold in 1/3 cup of old fashioned oats
• fold in 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate
{for this batch I used 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of chopped milk chocolate bar. Just happened to be what I had it the house}

use a 1/4 cup scooper to scoop on baking sheet.
I like mine cooked a little crispy, so I cook for 15mins.
depending on your oven, I'd say 12-17mins.



Yum! perfect for breakfast {good source of protein} or dessert. And, they freeze perfectly. I pull them out of the freezer, place in microwave for 20 seconds.
Enjoy!
