Yay, last week was my birthday, so happy birthday to me! And I say treat to cake! I've been looking forward to whipping up a delicious cake for weeks. And secretly I'm not just looking forward to that cake, I'm just looking forward to my birthday. I used to be unable to sleep because of nerves. Now that's a little different, but still I can really look forward to it. And I even still find it a little exciting, because I love getting presents. Always exciting again what you get from everyone. So those "childhood feelings" are far from over for me! To treat everyone on my turn, I made this mega yummy healthy chocolate cake with vanilla for them.

I love socializing, laughter and most importantly .. food. That is why I ensure that there are enough healthy snacks and drinks on the table. Secretly I always have a goal on my birthday: others inspire that healthy eating can also be festive, fun and tasty. I come from a family with a lot of Burgundian gourmets, so I am curious if they are going to be happy with my Healthy Birthday Party.

I know at least one thing for sure: from this mega tasty healthy chocolate cake with vanilla they really enjoy, it can't be otherwise! And they will probably not realize that the cake is completely gluten -free and lactose -free and also free of refined sugar. Enjoy healthy!
