Winter Wonderland Hot Milk Cake

12/08/2015
This Winter Wonderland Hot Milk Cake is a coconut-flour dessert of tender golden layers piled high with coconut and winter fruit! | GrokGrub.com

I consider myself "team pie" when I think about it. . . but I never seem to bake pies. :-P Is there a single pie on this site? I don't think so. Cake, though. I've made some cakes: Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake, Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake, Chocolate Gingerbread Cake, Vegan Heartache Cake and even a Meat Cake! But this cake is very different from all the rest, because it ha[...]

Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake

08/03/2015
This Dreamboat Pineapple Coconut Cake is a slice of tropical paradise on a plate! | GrokGrub.com #grainfree #nutfree #healthy #paleo #cake

I'll bake you a cake, yes. But you should know that it will likely be a recipe I invented the same day, and its debut for you will be its raison d'être.  That's certainly the case with this Pineapple Dreams Coconut Cake. I invented it for a birthday, and named it the way I did because it totally the stuff of dreams if you're a tropical pineapple lover. Nibbling the last littl[...]

Easy Chocolate Strawberry Cake

07/23/2015

I know. I know! But trust me when I say that this is a cake that you can throw together on short notice. A cake that goes with coffee, and friends coming over, children and dogs underfoot. It might be breakfast. It is fruit-sweetened, nut-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, sure. It’s not the healthiest thing you can make, it’s a cake. But a cake that unders[...]

Chocolate Gingerbread Cake

Chocolate Gingerbread Cake (nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free) | GrokGrub.com

My mother is really a paleo original. She raised my brother and me on a diet remarkably similar to the paleo nutritional template, long before "paleo" entered the national vocabulary. But more than adhering to any particular dietary dogma (she experiments with new foods and cooking methods, plus attempts reintroduction regularly) my mother insists on the highest standard of food quality.[...]

Vegan Heartache Cake (Chocolate Eggplant Torte)

04/06/2014
Vegan Heartache Cake (Chocolate Eggplant Torte) - Vegan, Grain/Gluten/Dairy Free

Quite a few recipes on this site would probably give a vegan heartache, for obvious reasons. But this one is titled Vegan Heartache Cake because it's adapted in a roundabout way from a recipe in the Red Velvet Chocolate Heartache cookbook. The subtitle of that cookbook is "the ultimate feel-good book of natural cakes that taste naughty" which made me smile and piqued my interest. Plus I liked[...]

Paleo Meat Cake

02/17/2014
Meat Cake - GrokGrub Featured

Meat cake? This has been in the back of my mind. Would it be possible to make a "cake" made of meat that actually looks like a real cake? I didn't think it was possible at all, but this one (although very time-consuming) looks pretty realistic. A wonderful choice for a special occasion celebrating someone who following the Whole30 reset protocol, for example, or who simply prefers not to consume[...]

Grain-Free Apple Cake

01/29/2014
Grain-Free Apple Cake - GrokGrub.com

I spent a few days in the Texas hill country this past week, visiting family and generally being reminded that yes, it is winter. In the Bay Area (especially with the drought in full swing) it's easy to forget! While I stayed at my parents' house I rooted around in their cupboard for ingredients that needed using for inspiration on my next recipe. I almost tried a turnip cake—because the[...]

Paleo German Chocolate Cake

12/08/2013
Paleo German Chocolate Cake by Grok Grub

Happy birthday to me! I celebrated by making this paleo German chocolate cake. While purists may cringe, I wanted something that tasted delicious but wouldn't leave me feeling seriously un-celebratory an hour after eating it. Hence my version of paleo German chocolate cake was born! I searched around for other Paleo German chocolate cake recipes to cut down the effort of developing my own,[...]

Paleo Citrus Celebration Cake

10/14/2013

Yum One of my closest friends visited from Dallas this weekend, so of course I made a cake! This is so easy to throw together, I mixed it up in twenty minutes from stuff I already had around the kitchen. Well, I bought the flowers especially for it but they're optional. Been wanting to put flowers on a cake after I saw the flower power cake from Green Kitchen Stories, and with a sprinkle of bee[...]

Paleo Carrot Cake + Healthy Desserts App Review

03/14/2013
Paleo Carrot Cake (grain-free, dairy-free, fruit-sweetened) | GrokGrub.com

Green Kitchen Stories is an utterly gorgeous blog. Its food philosophy is technically vegetarian, which may seem like an odd fit given my (avidly) omnivorous preferences, but the creators David and Luise have crafted a site full of unusual recipes highlighted by beautifully-composed images full of visual drama. Some of my favorites posts include the Green Breakfast Bowl, Warm Autumn[...]
