Reducing sugar in your diet shouldn’t be an easy thing I suppose.

I started a grain-free diet at the beginning of the year, turned ‘refined-sugar’-less a couple of months later and now I’ve been trying for the last couple of weeks to decrease carbohydrate intake from e.g. fruits or other sources more drastically; thereby increasing fat intake.

I had a sugar craving. Not just a sugar craving but an irresistable, unstoppable craving. Like I’d commit a murder in order to get a fix. I’ve never felt something like that before. Luckily for me, there was nothing much around and no place to go to where I could happily indulge, so I improvised in pure and utter desperation..

The Desperado Chocolate Cake was born: in about a minute, I threw together these ingredients:

• 1 can of coconut milk
• 4 tablespoons of almond flour
• 3 tablespoons of coconut flour
• 3 tablespoons of nutgrass flour
• cocoapowder –  yep it was one of those moments where, embarrassingly, I didn’t measure and just tossed it in (perhaps 3 tablespoons?)
• 4 eggs
• 2 small tablespoons of honey
• a dash of cinnamon and a drop of vanilla

It baked at about 200°C in the oven for about 45 minutes

..  and then..

..was devoured for the most part in an instant 😊 (Time perception is a strange thing it appears)

Nicely moist, I guess it wasn’t that bad after all  😊
