These rich and totally irresistible Red Velvet Cake Rolls with vanilla cream filling are romantic, decadent, and delicious – perfect for Valentine’s day!… you have to admit it’s a great excuse to satisfy your sweet tooth.
This cake roll required more testing than usual because I was so torn between using fresh beetroot vs beetroot powder, dehydrate vs freeze, as well as the perfect amount of flours. I’m not kidding. I must have made at least 4 or 5 different red velvet cake rolls. (I lost count after #3) Despite all the fair cakes filling up my brain and freezer, the recipe testing process was incredibly enlightening. Luckily, I made all the mistakes so you don’t have to. It might look complicated, but with a few simple tricks, ready in under 3 hours from start to finish, and not to mention oh so impressive….
Beetroot
Spiced Beet Chai Latte Cake
This pretty pink Beet Chai Latte Cake is nourishing and delicious. As you know, my obsession with beets is a long conversation one. What I love most about beets is that it is so incredibly easy to take this sweet, simple earthy root vegetable and elevate into something insanely delicious. Can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory recipes. But beets aren’t just another pretty face – loaded with essential nutrients, beetroots are a great source of fiber, folate (vitamin B9), manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C….
Vibrant Pink Bounty Bars
You could probably guess from the blog, that I’m a huge beetroot fan. I don’t think I mentioned this before, but I wasn’t much of a fan of beetroot growing up! I know right, how strange? To be honest, it’s taken me some time to become a fan, but now I absolutely obsessed with the stuff! Beetroot have become my favorite ingredients – LOVE IT – LOVE IT ♡ And their color?! It’s perfect!…
Beetroot and Raspberry Brownie
They’re rich, fragrant, super nourishing, devilishly chocolatey and all around amazing. To make it extra chocolatey I added melted raw chocolate to the brownie mixture. For the bright colored filling, I went with a slightly sweet beetroot and tangy raspberry chia cream flavored with rose water. I absolutely adore the bright pink color of the beets, their natural juicy firmness and mild sweetness. The raspberries and a little rosewater are a fabulous addition to the flavor of this dessert….

Raspberry and Chocolate Cupcakes
When you begin a journey to good health, finding the swaps for your favorites is essential because you should never feel you’re missing out. Raw chocolate for commercial, nicecream for ice cream, chocolate dipped raw cookies, crackers instead of biscuits, chia jam for sugar filled store-bought jams, nut mylk for dairy and the list goes on… You need to have the options you can eat knowing there is a punch of nutrition in each bite. It’s so easy to grab a chocolate bar or a bag of crisps if we’re hungry, instead of reaching for something healthier, that we don’t notice how often we do it. If the snacks are there, we’ll eat them! But they can be full of hidden nasties, like saturated fat, salt and refined sugar. Some things you should just not put in your mouth. From artificial flavors and colors to words you’d need an advanced degree in chemistry to pronounce (are you sure that’s food?), there are thousands of ingredients making their way into your food that are simply not, strictly speaking, food. And in time, too much of these can lead to serious health problems. Science has now shown that sugar in your food, in all its myriad of forms, is taking a devastating toll on the health of the population and is leading to wide spread obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, liver disease and a host of other closely related illnesses….
