Chicken Walnut Apple Salad with Caramel Sauce


Serves 2

Salad Ingredients




Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Chip Icing


Pre-heat and Bake @ 325
for
30 minutes

Cake (Reference From: All Day I Dream About Food)
  • 2 Cups Almond Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ Cup Swerve
  • 2 Tbs Stevia
  • 1 Tbs Vanilla Whey Protein
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • ¾ Tsp Almond Extract
  • ½ Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 6 Tbs Coconut Butter Softened


Whisk dry ingredients together till well combined. Beat in eggs, extract and almond milk. Then add coconut butter afterwards because the cold egg and milk will make it really hard and unable to mix. Pour into an 8x8 glass dish (spray with coconut oil first). Once done cooking, set aside to cool. Add icing then place in refrigerator for a couple hours or overnight.

Chocolate Chip Icing
  • 1 Cup Powdered Swerve
  • ¼ Cup Stevia
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Cup Palm Shortening
  • 2 Tbs Water
  • 2 oz of 85% Cocoa Chopped


Beat all the ingredients, omitting the chocolate. Fold Chocolate Chips in then ice the cake. Make sure cake is cool before icing.

Notes: Swerve is expensive that’s why Stevia has been added to the mixes. With the minimal amount of Stevia added there’s no after taste.
