Wow almost Monday again! Where does the time go. It has been a particularly pleasant weekend here at real soup HQ (I like the ring of that name, makes me sound so much more professional than I actually am). One of my close friends had her 18th on Friday night and it was surprisingly enjoyable.<\/p>\n

I love my friends, socializing \u00a0and talking until my throats runs dry. Then my voice gets raspy and sexy so I’ll try to get my words out. That said, most parties are breeding grounds for deafening music, alcoholic intoxication and uncomfortably chilly outdoor venues.<\/p>\n

When I arrived at the pub and made my way up the stairs to find two intimate rooms, a\u00a0bar and a balcony, all reserved for the party, I was very relieved and impressed. It was also fun to see people that I really haven’t caught up with since school finished last year, as well as some closer friends that I still see quite regularly. Zoe my dear, if you’re reading, 10\/10 for a great night – thanks girl!<\/p>\n

Where does that cake fit in? I’m getting to it don’t you worry.<\/p>\n

Last night it was earth hour (where you turn your lights, and all electricity, off for one hour to raise money and awareness for the charity WWF) and two of my close friends slept over so that we could all participate together. Now with me being on GAPS and not yet up to baked goods I thought I’d better bake them something special – no need for them to be deprived on my account right?<\/p>\n

This chocolate cake was the result. I kind of just used my intuition for this one and the logic that coconut flour needs lots (and I mean LOTS) of liquid. The nut butter icing came about because we were out of honey (I used what we had for the cake) and I was loathe to feed my dear ones icing sugar. I know. Control freak vibes.<\/p>\n

The cake was a success and both girls took a sneaky piece home with them. Fluffy and rich without being sickly heavy – or so I’m told. Calm those farms, I still had dessert; warm beef connective tissue warmed with some herbamare is surprisingly satisfying – and no I am not on drugs. GAPS makes you love strange foods!<\/p>\n
