Lemon Cake with Mascarpone Cheese Topping

image

Healthy Lemon Sponge Cake with Creamy Cheesecake topping

This family favourite uses apple sauce instead of fat & is drenched with a zingy decadently creamy mascarpone cheese topping & finished off with lemon zest.

The base of the cake is a classic lemon sponge, using coconut sugar for a much lower GI than refined white sugar.

This makes a great celebration cake or a perfect compliment to afternoon tea or coffee.

Happy #toasttuesday! Do you have days when you are indecisive? ⠀ .⠀ I couldn't decide if I wanted sweet or savoury for breakfast and so I had ...BOTH! Hehe. ⠀ .⠀ For the savoury: I toasted a slice of seeded sourdough from @basementcafeandbakery and topped it with avocado and a roast cranberry, goldenberry thyme relish (It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!). (This has got to be the easiest relish I have ever made!). The tanginess of the relish contrasts with the smooth creaminess of the avocado.⠀ .⠀ For the sweet, I topped the toast with vanilla soya yoghurt @alpro (It tastes amazing; like creme anglais!), raw dried cacao-covered goldenberries @naturesheartuk (my favourite) and some berries and pumpkin seeds. What a feast!! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Goldenberries are rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, high in protein, vitamin A, iron, vitamin C, potassium, fibre and B vitamins (B1, B2 and B6). With such a magnificent nutrient profile, goldenberries exert widespread benefits, from promoting good general health, boosting the immune, cardiovascular systems, healthy eyes and they may also help in weight loss through their fibre content. ⠀ .⠀ Have a Super day all (Only 14 days til Christmas!)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . . . . . .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #vegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #veganism #veganlife #vegangirl #veganfitness #veganathlete #veganpower #veganshare #fitnessaddict #girlswholift #vegandiet #whole30 #vegancommunity #whatveganseat #plantbased #poweredbyplants #breakfastofchampions #fitfood #goodmoodfood #wholefoodplantbased #foodforthought #eatwholefoods #veganfitnessfood #foodisfuel
Good evening! ⠀ .⠀ Do you love chips? Me too! Sweet potato chips, that is! I have coated them in polenta to make them extra crispy and some sweet paprika and turmeric using Vitalising Superpowder @naturesheartuk for an extra antioxidant and anti-inflammatory boost. I have also tucked in some crispy cauliflower ginger wings, some shop-bought tasty jumbo falafels @cauldronfoods, baby beetroots @marksandspencer, lots of other veggies, pomegranate and pumpkin seeds and a tahini balsamic vinegar drizzle. Nom nom!⠀ .⠀ Why eat sweet potatoes? They are:⠀ * high in antioxidants (especially beta-carotene), which helps boost the immune system and may help improve brain function and memory, and promotes healthy vision and skin. ⠀ *rich in a prebiotic, fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS), which encourages good bacterial growth in the gut and hence improve digestive health. ⠀ *Sweet potatoes help stabilise blood sugar levels and so a good choice for diabetics.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Chips away! Have a super evening!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @holland_barrett @thrivemags @thefeedfeed @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom @veganshares @WeAreVeganuary ‏⠀ .⠀ #vegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #veganism #veganlife #vegangirl #veganfitness #veganathlete #veganpower #veganshare #fitnessaddict #girlswholift #vegandiet #whole30recipes #vegancommunity #whatveganseat #plantbased #poweredbyplants #buddhabowl #fitfood #goodmoodfood #wholefoodplantbased #foodforthought #eatwholefoods #veganfitnessfood #foodisfuel #nourishbowl
Good morning! How better to start the working week but with some Christmas inspired healthy mini muffins! These cranberry, orange and cinnamon muffins are enriched with extra antioxidants, fibre, protein and omega-3s using Goldenberry and Chia Powerblend @naturesheartuk and protein powder @pulsinhq. There is no refined sugar added and instead of fat I have used soya yoghurt. The yoghurt makes these muffins fluffy and the ruby red cranberries add a lovely tartness to the sweeter sponge.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ A note on cranberries (credit to https://buff.ly/2RGU2nk)⠀ *Prevent and treat urinary tract infections⠀ *Decrease Inflammation⠀ *May help prevent certain cancers⠀ *Improve immune function⠀ *Benefit the digestive tract⠀ *Reduce risk of heart disease.⠀ .⠀ How many mini muffins can you eat?!! Have a lovely day!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . . . . . . . . . .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @WeAreVeganuary ‏ @Alpro @thefeedfeed @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom @veganshares @holland_barrett @ocado⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #muffin #veganrecipes #veganeats #iffym #feedfeedvegan #vegansofinstagram #jerf #healthyvegan #vegangains #veganstrong #nutritiousanddelicious #vegansnacks #veganbaking #nourishnotpunish #comfortfood #todayfood #fallrecipes #foodforfuel #healthyeats #cleaneats #veganfoodie #nutritiousanddelicious #vegancake #goodmoodfood #veganvultures #crueltyfree #eatwholefoods #norefinedsugar #glutenfreevegan #christmasbaking
Good evening! What's your favourite comfort food? One of my favourites are potstickers (shitake mushroom and tofu) with stir fry veg (check out the rainbow carrots!) in a white miso @tidefordorganics and sriracha sauce, thickened with 1 tsp of chia seeds. This miso adds a umami depth of flavour, whilst the sriracha adds a bit of a chilli kick. Mmm! And it takes under 15 mins to rustle up too! .⠀ A bit about miso.⠀ *It is made for fermented soya beans and therefore protein rich. It is also a probiotic, helping to promote a healthy gut and promote a healthy immune system. ⠀ .⠀ *Miso is also rich in minerals and a good source of various B vitamins, vitamins E, K and folic acid.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Have a super evening!.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . . . . .⠀ @naturesheartuk @coconutmerchant @WeAreVeganuary @chiabiaseed ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #vegan #veganrecipes #veganfood #veganfoodporn #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #veganism #veganlife #vegangirl #veganfitness #veganathlete #veganpower #veganshare #fitnessaddict #girlswholift #vegandiet #whole30recipes #vegancommunity #whatveganseat #plantbased #poweredbyplants #buddhabowl #fitfood #goodmoodfood #wholefoodplantbased #foodforthought #eatwholefoods #veganfitnessfood #foodisfuel #nourishbowl
Good morning! Happy Sunday!⠀ .⠀ I have been tinkering in the Kitchen experimenting with Christmas recipes. What are the flavours of Christmas for you? For me it is warming chai-like spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, mulled wine, hot chocolate, parsnips and Brussel sprouts! ⠀ .⠀ With the former flavours in mind, I cobbled up this Cinnamon, ginger, apple and goji oat bread (Hmm, Brussel sprout and parsnip bread might not be as tasty!). Do you think it is good enough to give as a present or for the Christmas table? ⠀ .⠀ I love how the bread is speckled with, cheerful sunset-orange goji berries and the crunchy oat streusel topping is sooo delicious! This oat bread is also healthy! It is enriched with hemp seeds and flaxseeds @LinwoodsFoods and organic coconutsugar @naturesheart uk available @ocado. You could also add a spot of protein powder @pulsinhq. The bread is also fat-free for those looking after their waistlines!⠀ .⠀ Why eat goji berries? They are: ⠀ *super-rich in antioxidants, (especially carotenoids and vitamin C), which boost the immune system, protecting against chronic disease. They also promote healthy skin and eyes. ⠀ *rich in protein.⠀ *contain many minerals including, zinc, iron, vitamin B2 and notably special sugars that protect the body against disease including cancer. ⠀ *Goji berries are also believed to help balance blood sugar levels, help in liver detoxification, and improve digestion and mood.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom @WeAreVeganuary ‏⠀ @veganfoodshare @Alpro ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #vegan #veganrecipes #veganvultures #iffym #feedfeedvegan #vegansofinstagram #jerf #healthyvegan #vegangains #veganstrong #nutritiousanddelicious #vegansnacks #veganbaking #nourishnotpunish #comfortfood #todayfood #fallrecipes #foodforfuel #healthyeats #cleaneats #veganfoodie #nutritiousanddelicious #vegancake #goodmoodfood #veganvultures #crueltyfree #eatwholefoods #norefinedsugar #glutenfreevegan #christmasbaking
Have you been Christmas shopping? How are you getting on?⠀ .⠀ I have been experimenting with home-made Christmas pressies. What do you think of these pink acai berry, beetroot, protein, energy balls? Quick to make and packed with goodness from chia seeds, raw dried goldenberries, Omega-3 Superpowder @naturesheartuk and optional protein powder @pulsinhq.⠀ Just blend, roll and pop into a pretty jar with ribbon! A home-made Christmas gift in under half an hour!! (They are also jolly good as healthy snacks with a cup of tea! Hehe).⠀ .⠀ Full recipe available at my blog: https://buff.ly/2EmUrsj⠀ Please copy and paste the link below into your browser.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . . . . .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @naturesheartuk @chiabiaseed @pulsinhq @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom⠀ ⠀ @pipandnut @vegandailyuk⠀ @WeAreVeganuary ‏⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #recipe #glutenfree #eatbetternotless #healthycooking #healthydinner #foods4thought #quickdinner #easymeals #eatgoodfeelgood #fitmeals #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #easyfood #holistichealth #functionalmedicine #lowfat #homemadecooking #healthgoals #vegetarianrecipes #feedfeedvegan #letscookvegan #eatyourveggies #wellness #fitnessfood #healthyfoodporn #govegan #veganfortheanimals #colourfulfoods #thekitchn #veg
Good afternoon! I'm having a late lunch today after a lie in to recover from the Christmas bash! Have you been to your work Christmas do yet?⠀ .⠀ Today we have a rainbow inspired salad of roasted cauliflower sumac salad with roasted paprika turmeric sweet potatoes using Vitalising Superpowder @naturesheartuk, aubergine cous cous salad and assorted veggies drizzled over with a tahini lemon dressing, some pomegranate seeds (love these!) and pumpkin seeds. ⠀ .⠀ Have a lovely day!!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . . . . . .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #foodieflatlays #veganplate #veganfood #plantprotein #healthycooking #foods4thought #quickdinner #easymeals #fitmeals #healthyrecipes #veganhealth #govegan #holistichealth #eatfoodfeelgood #plantbasedvegan #veganfoodspot #makesmewhole #letscookvegan #slimmingworls #worldwideveganfood #thecookfeed #eatyourcolours #wholefoodfavs #glutenfreelife #wellness #eatright #veganforeverything #nomeatathlete #crueltyfreeliving #healthiswealth
Good evening! It's the weekend!!!! Any fun plans? ⠀ .⠀ Tonight marks the start of the start of the Christmas party season for me, plus I am going to a seminar on "Veganism, the facts and fiction'" which should be fun. I'll report back if there is something interesting! ⠀ .⠀ Dinner is therefore a quick supper or golden turmeric soup with a goji berry @LinwoodsFoods and goldenberry relish using dried goldenberries @naturesheartuk . This soup also has a helping of probiotic miso paste, which adds instant depth of flavour.⠀ .⠀ Why eat cauliflower?⠀ ⠀ *It may be one of the healthiest foods you can eat due to its high content of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory chemicals, which help to ward off cancer, heart disease, brain disorders and eye disorders like macular degeneration. ⠀ *Its high water and fibre content mean it can help weight loss. ⠀ * It also helps the liver detox and by reducing levels of oestrogen, it helps balance hormone levels, thus preventing autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue and ovarian cancer. Impressive stuff!⠀ .⠀ Full details of recipe is available at my blog. Please copy and paste the link below into your browser:⠀ https://buff.ly/2HtgTxn⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Have a lovely evening!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @coconutmerchant @WeAreVeganuary ‏ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #recipe #glutenfree #eatbetternotless #healthycooking #healthydinner #foods4thought #quickdinner #easymeals #eatgoodfeelgood #fitmeals #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #easyfood #holistichealth #healthyvegan #lowfat #homemadecooking #healthgoals #vegetarianrecipes #feedfeedvegan #letscookvegan #eatyourveggies #wellness #fitnessfood #healthyfoodporn #govegan #veganfortheanimals #colourfulfoods #thekitchn #veganstrong
It's FRIDAY! Have you got the Friday feeling? I have...although I've had it all week! He he.⠀ .⠀ Today we have a mango smoothie bowl for breakfast. Just blend together frozen mango chunks with coconut, goji berries, chia seeds, coconut milk, optional protein powder, a spot of root ginger and a squish of lime. Then decorate as desired!⠀ .⠀ Why eat mango? They are:⠀ *rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, which boosts immunity and prevent premature ageing. ⠀ *rich in magnesium and potassium so help lower blood pressure and promote effective nerve and muscle functioning. ⠀ *high in the soluble fibre pectin, which helps promote good digestion, reduce blood pressure and thereby promote a healthy heart and circulatory system and perhaps aid weight loss.⠀ ⠀ *high in vitamin B6 required for neurotransmitter production in the brain and promoting good mood and sleep.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Have a great day!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ .⠀ @naturesheartuk @pulsinhq @LinwoodsFoods @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom @coconutmerchant @chiabiaseed⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #plantbasedfoodie #crueltyfree #veganfoodporn #plantbasedprotein #vegansofinstagram #vegangains #livehealthy #veganforeverything #healthyfoodporn #veganathlete #veganstrong #veganbodybuilding #veganbreakfast #veganstrong #veganmuscle #eatwholefoods #breakfastlover #veganpower #fitnessaddict #poweredbyplants #fitfood #fitchick #todayfood #wholefoodplantbased #veganfortheanimals #eatwholefoods #breakfastclub #healthyfoodporn #foodgasm
Good evening! Has anyone else affected by the O2 outage today? It was odd to not be on line to be honest, but weirdly quite nice. We live in a time of constant bustle and with messages bombarding us all the time, so it was refreshing to just have time out. Does anyone agree? ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Anyway, back to the food. Tonight we have a warm cous cous herby salad peppered with sweet pomegranate seeds, creamy avocado, goldenberries, tomatoes, radishes and pumpkin seeds. The dressing is a mixture of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, pomegranate mollases, sumac and olive oil.⠀ For more detailed recipe details please copy and paste the following link into your browser: https://buff.ly/2Fr5Rbe⠀ .⠀ What's the deal about apple cider vinegar?⠀ *It is probiotics so good for a healthy gut.⠀ *It may help regulate blood sugar levels.⠀ *It may help reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure and so help maintain a healthy heart⠀ *It may also help in dieting by increasing satiety.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Have a super evening all!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ . . . . @naturesheartuk @veganfoodspot @WeAreVeganuary .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #applecidervinegar #letscookvegan #plantbasedfoodie #healthiswealth #createyourownsunshine #intuitiveeating #vegandinner veganfoodspot #livinghealthy #easymeals #healthyeating #meatfreeathelete #fitmeals #holistichealth #fitnessfood #healthgoals #eatyourveggies #plantprotein #foodieflatlays #veganfoodlover #glutenfreevegan #worldwidevegan #hclf #veganbombs #makesmewhole #feedfeedvegan #eatplants #gloobyfood
Happy Thursday! Pink power! To fend of the winter bugs, I have an antioxidant -rich smoothie bowl for breakfast. What do you think of this acai, black and blueberry one? ⠀ .⠀ I've used acai Omega -3 Superpowder @naturesheartuk and blended it with blackberries, bloobs, a twist of lime, cucumber, green apple, chia seeds, protein powder, fresh root ginger, coconut water, almond milk, lime juice and a dash of cinnamon. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Why add acai?⠀ Acai berries are rich in antioxidants (especially anthocyanins) and are also one of the few fruits that contain healthy fats (including omega-3s). ⠀ They therefore exert widespread benefits to the body: including the brain, heart, digestive, endocrine and immune systems and their high antioxidant content helps skin to regenerate and so help in scar healing and anti-ageing. ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Have a great day!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @Alpro @naturesheartuk @pulsinhq @coconutmerchant @WeAreVeganuary @coconutmerchant @veganfoodspot @hbloggerscom⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #makesmewhole #wholefoodfavs #veganaf #veganvultures #foodieflatlays #worldwideveganfood #healthyvegan #foodgawker #hownottodie #eattheworld #slimmingworld #gloobyfood #healthyrecipe #eatright #healthychoices #glutenfreelife #instayum #healthyeats #nutrition #knowledgeispower #poweredbyplants #healthyfoodshare #eeeeeats #veganforhealth #whatveganseat #veganshare #veganos #f52grams #heresmyfood #vegannoms
Hands up if you love healthy snacks! Tonight I have these no-bake cacao goji bites. What do you think? They hit the spot for something sweet, but healthy after dinner. (And there is enough leftover for 10.30am munchies and as a pre-workout snack tomorrow too..I have double spin and body pump classes).⠀ .⠀ Simply blend together nuts, dates, cacao, chia seeds, sugar-free chocolate chips, protein crispies, goji berries, optional protein powder with a little water and a pinch of salt. I also added a little energising and hormone balancing maca powder. Squish into a baking tray and level with a spatula. Pop in the fridge for 2 hrs and hey presto! Slice up into bite size chunks or bars).⠀ .⠀ For more recipe details, please copy and paste the link below into your browser:⠀ https://buff.ly/2G9BV70⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Why eat Gojis? They are:⠀ *super-rich in antioxidants, (especially carotenoids and vitamin C), which boost the immune system and promote healthy skin and eyes. ⠀ *rich in protein⠀ *contain many minerals including, zinc, iron, vitamin B2 and notably special complex sugars that protect the body against disease including cancer. ⠀ .⠀ Have a relaxing evening!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ ⠀ @naturesheartuk @pulsinhq @veganshares @WeAreVeganuary . . . . #letscookvegan #plantbasedfoodie #healthiswealth #createyourownsunshine #intuitiveeating #vegandinner #veganfoodspot #livinghealthy #easymeals #healthyeating #meatfreeathelete #fitmeals #holistichealth #fitnessfood #healthgoals #eatyourveggies #plantprotein #foodieflatlays #veganfoodlover #glutenfreevegan #worldwidevegan #hclf #veganbombs #makesmewhole #feedfeedvegan #eatplants #gloobyfood
