A Ginger Kiss for Bronwyn Jean

Source

It is now officially my sister's birthday in Australia - Happy Birthday Bron! Welcome to the 20's, this post is dedicated to you!


My sister has had a long time love affair with a popular cake bar in Australia called ginger kisses. She LOVES these, so I thought as a birthday present I would come up with a healthier, guilt-free recipe. 

Ginger Kiss Slice
A sugar-free, gluten-free, dairy-free ginger cake with coconut cream.

Ingredients:


For the cake

• 1 cup buckwheat flour (this is a gluten free flour with no relation to regular wheat)
• 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp ginger powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 150ml non-dairy milk of choice (I used soy)
• 1/2 cup oil (I used olive)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp liquid stevia 

For the cream

• 1 can of coconut milk
• A few drops of stevia to taste

Directions:


For the cake

• Preheat the oven to 180C
• Mix the buckwheat flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, oil, egg and stevia. 
• Add the wet mixture into the dry and combine thoroughly. 
• Pour the mixture into a greased 9" x 9" square baking tin. 
• Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes.
• Let the cake cool.

Once the cake has completely cooled top with coconut cream and cut into squares. You can also garnish with a little ginger powder dusted over. Makes 9 servings.
