Question from Natalie
Hi Debra.
I was just introduced to your site and it seems wonderful! I hope you can help me with something. I am giving a baby shower to my sil who has been eating only turbinado or demerera. I have found a couple of cake recipes which look fantastic, but i am needing some type of punch. do you have any recipes? also, on your frosting recipes…how much of a “part” do i start with?
when it comes to the all natural life…i’m not very knowledgeable. any help and other suggestions on this is GREATLY appreciated!
thank you in advance!
Natalie
Debra’s Answer
For the cake, I recommend my Fabulous All-Organic Special Occasion Cake, which has been a hit every time I have made it. And you can make it with turbinado or demarera sugar if you want to (though these are not the same as whole evaporated cane juice), and use the “maple sugar” option for the measurement.
For the frosting, the “part” you start with depends on the size of the cake. For a regular size 2 layer cake, I would use about 2 cups for the powdered sugar part.
As for punch, I would take some fresh fruit juices, mix them with some sparkling water. Now that it’s getting to be fall, a punch based on apple or grape would be lovely. A bit of lemon will perk up the flavors. No sweetener needed.
