A family favourite and simple to make.
Ingredients:
140g ground almonds
50g dark chocolate chips
35g coconut sugar
30g unsalted butter (room temp)
20g double cream
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
Preheat oven to 170⁰C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Mix all the ingredients together except the chocolate chips. Leave to sit for 5 mins. Mix in the chocolate chips. Roll a dessert spoon size into a ball and place on the baking tray, pressing down slightly and leaving space in between each one.
Bake for appx 10-12 mins depending on size and thickness, until the edges have browned. They will be soft to touch but will harden up once cooled.
Enjoy

Water is a source of life and vitality. As we age our bodies are less able to hold water so our skin sags, our bones become brittle, our hair drier, thinner and frizzy.
Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
