1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cups carob powder
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoons ginger
½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoons baking powder
⅓ cup coconut oil
¼ cup honey
¼ cup molasses
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
½ cup water [ you can use coffee if you like]
Method
Cream together the coconut oil [looks more like shortening to me than oil], honey, molasses, and cider vinegar.
Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl until well blended.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the water to the coconut mixture, mixing well in between additions.
Make 12 cupcakes or 24 mini cupcakes and bake at 375 degree for about 10 minutes. Check with a toothpick to confirm done,but they are vegan so they can be gooey inside too!
Sprinkle the top with coconut, nuts, seeds or whatever you like.
I had a great time – congrats to the organizers for a very successful day!
Sometimes I like to sit and make lists of all of the events, workshops, classes, and shows I have in my calendar for the next while, just to get my head wrapped around it all and sort of my timing.I’ll be performing in a few charity shows, as well as baking cupcakes! I’ll be teaching along with a colleague of amazing status how to out together fabulous belly dance costumes! And I’ll be promoting my eco friendly products, in the hopes of spreading some awareness and joy!
I hope that if you are in Ottawa during the next few weeks that you’ll be able to come out to paricipate in some of these fun activities! Be sure to say HI!
The first will be in the afternoon and I’ll be participating as a baker at the first annualOttawa CupCake Camp.They are hoping that over 2000 cupcakes will be there for the tasting!
In the evening, I’ll be part of a group of creative souls raising money for another at the Mercury Lounge in Ottawa….Halyma performs at:pARTicipate! A Benefit for Hollis Hawthorne.
Not only am I, TAV Creations /Eco-TAV, in theOttawa Eco-Stewardship Fairduring the day, but that evening I will have students performing as part of an eclectic charity ” Belly dance” showat the Glebe Community centre! It promises to be a great show with a wide variety of performances demonstrating the evolution of belly dance!
