Healthy Cake Pop Recipe

Hello! This post is a little late because I've been trying to play around with my blogs template with little success (sigh), but better late than never right?! So recently me and my sisters have wanted to bake something a little bit healthier than normal- so we opted for a sugar free sponge, with the only sugar being in the dark chocolate glaze. On that note does anyone have any recipes for a sugar free cake pop covering/dipping sauce? The recipe is not my own but I've tweaked it slightly as it is originally for fairy cakes, but the best thing about it is that you can change it to suit your tastes and what you want :)
It's super simple and uses most ingredients you find in your cupboard. I bet you're thinking stop babbling and get on with it, so here goes;

First thing you will need to do before anything else is add the lemon juice to the milk and let it sit together for five minutes before you start the rest of the recipe- p.s. maybe now is a good time to chuck on your favourite song and preheat your oven to 180'c/ 350'f.

Numero twooo, blend your eggs and stevia, I found it easier to use an electric whisk on a low setting. male sure you do it for five minutes, boring I know but the music should ease the pain!

Now it's about time to chuck in all of the flour (I added two extra tablespoon as i found the mixture a little gooey when cooked- but do whatever floats your boat), almond meal, baking powder, vanilla (the recipe originally said one teaspoon but I found two was better), butter (softened), and sour cream/yogurt. oh and of course give it a big stir.


By now you probably think I've forgotten about the funny milk mixture from the beginning? well now's about right to tip it in the cooking pot! - stir gently at this point.

It is now the fun part! pour you mix into the cake pop molds (I found a syringe easier to dispense for less mess). Cook in the oven for 18-20 minutes until the skewer pressed in the middle of the cake to see if it cooks comes out clean. Let it cool before decorating and pushing in your pop sticks, I used melted dark chocolate, but feel free to use whatever you want i.e. icing, candy melts, white chocolate sprinkles etc.

I hope you enjoy making these, but most importantly I hope you enjoy eating these!

Feeling Positive

Very recently I've tried to be positive at the start of each day, and if I feel negative then I take time to dwell on it but then move on. Today was no different!  I had quite a lazy morning followed by my review in work, sigh. But after me and my sister went to Happy Days Vintage Home Store in Cowbridge (Wales). This made me super happy. Not only was it an amazingly priced vintage store which gave me serious home inspiration and envy, but slap bang in the middle was a cafe. A cafe with amazing food- we both had cheese and brown bread toastie and salad with a latte, two great minds think alike haha. The service was absolutely amazing and our server gave is a free cake at the end. I can't wait to go back.
I'm not all for consumerism but just dwelling in a place filled with homemade work gave me a sense of happiness and ignited my love for art again. Plus I got to spend time with my sister who is starting her new job soon. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Anyhooo this is just a post for photo browsing. Something to fill your need for vintage, colour and quirkiness.  If you like what you see google them! They have an online service too :) click here for that :)

Ps my fave thing was the bear tin saying 'do more of what makes you happy'. It's a great mantra and really reminds me of Ella Grace Denton's blog. 

Tomorrow me Hannah are gonna get creative and make healthy (sugar free sponge) cake pops with our little sisters. I'll share the recipe with you tomorrow!!! ♡♡♡

Sunshine

Good morning!!!! Ahh this morning was so frosty and pretty, and if I'm honest I think it's the closest thing to snow we're going to get. *sad face*. Do you have snow yet, if you do tell me all about it in the comments,  I'm so jealous and need talks of weather mishaps to sooth me!
For Christmas me and my sister both got bikes, which I'm so thankful for. But I never realised how unfit I was, or how hard it is to cycle up a hill that is easy to walk up- until I owned a bike. But with these frosty photos from this morning and the sunset images of our cycle I'm sure you'll agree that the leg pain is worth it!!
I'm loving the weather and I hope you are too. I bought a new red lipstick this week on a three for two offer and I cant wait to wear it as it gets me excited for this cold weather and maybe snow *fingers crossed*. I'm off too work now so see you later.
Ps. I'm thinking of blogging a jewellery post as I tweeted it and got a response. So watch this space (twitter in links above or search @b3thkara)
