This paleo carrot cake is soft, moist, and one of the best I've ever had! Spread with cream cheese frosting or creamy paleo date frosting! Folks, I'm on the last one, so it's time to celebrate. The laaaaaaast one. I won't say it's been fun, easy, or exactly something I'd want to repeat. My Mom officially announced that "Linnaea, your time management skills are not what I thought they were." I have to agree with her. My time management skills are not what I thought they were. Every ...

Chocolate Roulade Recipe (Gluten Free and Paleo Friendly)
This gluten free and paleo friendly chocolate roulade recipe is a beautiful dessert. The greatest part, in my opinion, is that it looks impressive but is actually super easy to make. Though a chocolate roulade, or “yule log” is generally a Christmas dessert, it’s something I make year round. I’ll be making it more and more in the future as well, I think....since I can foresee it becoming one of my go-to paleo dessert recipes (I like to have a few of those up my sleeve). It is true that the ...
Paleo Frosting Recipe from my Friend Rebecca
Hopefully one day Rebecca will have a blog of her own from which she can share her delicious paleo recipes (your truffles, please, my friend). But I couldn’t resist sharing her recipe for amazing paleo frosting here! It’s the recipe I talked about so long ago in the chocolate cupcakes post (we had a deal going: I made the cupcakes and she made the paleo frosting. We each brought our offering to events we went to, then joined the two in absolute deliciousness). So here it is, the long awaited ...
Chocolate Birthday Cake Frosting & Decorating
For my little sister’s 11th birthday this week, I made a two layer chocolate cake with my new favorite icing (BUTTERCREAM)! The results were delicious and now my entire family is on sugar withdrawal. Earlier today, hoping to tempt my little sisters to go to town with us, I told them that we would buy them ice cream and everything (an impressive bribe, considering that they hardly ever get to buy ice cream). My youngest sister piped up: “No, I don’t want ice cream; I’ve had too much sugar ...
Paleo Carrot Cake
Lately I’ve been experimenting a little more in the world of paleo. It’s a strange world, full of aliens like coconut flour and chia seeds (still not real sure about the chia seeds but everyone else loves them so that’s terrific for them). I’m not even going to say that half (or a third) of my paleo baking attempts are exactly successful, but I can say that this one is. So, here you have it. Paleo Carrot Cake with some Coconut Spice Frosting. Dig in. Ingredients ¼ ...
Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Frosting
Yes, I confess. This is a recipe for chocolate cake. It would be rude of you to mention that I already have several chocolate cake recipes on the blog (I think five, but even I have lost count). Will you stop giving me that look? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CHOCOLATE CAKE. I’m not going to say that this one is the best chocolate cake recipe on here, because that would probably result in some hurt feelings (I’m talking about the other cakes here. They’re oversensitive ...
Cupcakes with Chocolate Coffee Frosting and Toasted Coconut
This isn’t a cupcake recipe. The cupcakes themselves are my Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, a recipe I use a lot since they are pretty predictable. They weren’t exactly predictable this time because I did a little bit of experimenting. I replaced some of the rice flour with almond flour, my new thing-I-want-to-try-to-see-how-it-works. Almond flour is very moist, so I was hoping that it would make up for the dryness of the rice flour. Well, the almond flour idea seemed to work, but it also ...
Dark Chocolate Cake
I loved this cake. Why? Because it was yummy. Was. Notice the past tense there. Meaning, it's gone now. Where did it go? I haven't a clue. I. Love. Chocolate. Cake. There. The honest truth comes out! If you don't believe it, count how many chocolate cake recipes I have. Then you'll believe it. I can't really say which chocolate cake recipe is best. I would have to have a taste test. And that would be a pain, cause I would have to make all those cakes. And I don't have time for ...
