Double choc cake with creammmmmm.....
It was the last day of the Sustainable Soil Management course, and I thought we might have a farewell morning tea. I made a gluten free double chocolate cake with whipped cream... 
My gluten free flour consists of 1/3 brown rice flour, 1/3 buckwheat flour and 1/3 quinoa flour. This seems to make a nice consistency, not crumbly at all, it binds well and tastes good too! All the flours are organic and bought in bulk directly from Demeter mills by our local community buying group. Then I make up my own mix to use in all my baking. Grains are not easily grown on a small farm in large enough quantities to use, especially when catering for larger groups. Buying in bulk directly from organic mills, or buying locally (organic if possible) is the next best thing...
I used 3 cups of gluten free flour mix and combined it with 1 cup of organic rapadura sugar and 1 Tbs baking powder (both also from Demeter mills). I then melted a bar of 70% strength bitter chocolate in a pan held in a pan with boiling water. I scooped the melted chocolate and 125 grams of melted butter into the flour and started mixing. I added water to the mix until it was airy and easily turned, but not too soggy. Then I added white chocolate chips to the mix and stirred them in. I put the mix in a greased square oven dish and in the oven at 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes to half an hour, until springy in the middle. Then I pulled it out and let it cool for about 45 minutes, it was still slightly warm when we had it for our morning tea.
Naughty but very nice....

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
