Beetroot Red Velvet + Wild Orange Flavoured Coconut Cream






Ingredients
  • 2 Large grated beetroot (fresh, not from a tin)
  •  2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 4 tablespoons raw organic cacao powder
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Organic Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon baking powder

Coconut Cream

  •  270ml Can Ayam Coconut Cream. Leave in the fridge for 24 hours or Place in the freezer 30 mins before whipping
  •  Wild Orange Essential Oil (5 drops) (HERE)
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin



Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180ÂșC and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases (even if using a silicone tray, still use cupcake cases as it will stick)

2. Blend all ingredients (in a blender/Bellini/thermy, cannot mix this one by hand) until it’s a smooth batter, then divide between the 12 cases. I used my Bellini Intelli, Speed 5, Sharp blade 3 minutes.

3. Cook for 40 minutes.

4. Add cream, oil and gelatine together and whip, I used the belini, butterfly on, speed 3 for 2 mins.

5. Add a small amount of cream to each cupcake.



These cupcakes are Paleo and a great sometimes treat. The pair so well with doTERRA's wild orange. I hope you enjoy them, let me know if you make them :)

Be Fearless



How is it the second Sunday of a brand new year already? I guess it happens in the very same way that most of the things that I dream up or even try to accomplish slip past me. I've always had a fear of failure, a fear of failing to live up to people's expectations or the worst, a fear of failing myself. And sometimes, it really means a big full stop in many things that I set my mind, my heart and my soul to. So by stopping with the fear of failing, before even getting things really started the essence of failure has made me stumble.


It's easy to set goals, to put thought into accomplishing things but setting goals doesn't do the work for you. Pursuing, trying and sometimes even possibly having a mistake along the way are what gets things accomplished.

That is where this weeks quote gains momentum from. I found this a long time ago and it has always stuck in the back of my mind, Be Fearless, Be Fearless of myself.

My year , eight days in has a good momentum. I'm always holding back, so let this be the year of loosening my reins a little, not being such a harsh critic to my own soul, the year of really setting my soul on fire.
