When life hand-delivers me a call-to-action such as this, I know exactly where to turn: Karina Allrich, AKA The Gluten-Free Goddess. If you love all things Gluten Free, you must know about the good work Karina does over at her blog. Her recipes are amazing, her words, inspiring, and her pictures are beautiful art.
Now, Sister Karina has had a pretty shitty time of it in the hospital as of late, and I'm thrilled to see on her blog today that she's back at home in her own bed. So get your ass over there and send her some love.
Here are the three recipes from Karina that I decided to make. They were all huge hits, and I sent Emily home with a ginormous amount of sweets. Click through the links for the whole recipes and Karina's perfect pictures.
This Mexican Chocolate Cake is right on. Deliciously rich with a hint of cinnamon (despite my over-flouring of the pan).
These Chocolate Muffins are perfect for a treat anytime. They're a little less sweet and wonderfully satisfying. I need to work on uniformity of muffin size (and that's not an innuendo).
For the final treat, I went for the Vegan Vanilla Cupcake recipe and the Vegan Orange Creme Frosting recipe made with oranges fresh off the tree. These cupcakes literally melt in your mouth.
A huge THANK YOU to Karina for pointing me in the right direction and for illuminating fine details like "froth that egg substitute in warm water," so that I would be sure to succeed in my first vegan baked goods foray. I could NEVER have done this without her help.
