Look at this thing-y. I say thing-y, because what do you call something like this? It’s like a deconstructed cake turned all inside out and cut into mouth-popping squares. Go ahead come in closer—see how it’s stuffed with chunks of pound cake and laced with the best walnuts from Diamond California® Nuts (I know, shameless plug), then topped with some raspberries—it’s seriously begging for a face stuffing.
I’m on a roll this week with sweet treats.Yay to that, because all this baking means the pregnancy is finally finding some steady ground. And yes, this is my second pregnancy, but it’s nothing like the first one. Forget food cravings, this one has been pixelated with an abundance of food aversions on par with a vegan-combo-gluten-free eater.
Okay, so I’m being melodramatic again. But no messing around here, it seriously sucked for this omnivore! Thankfully, I’m finally coming out from the haze and pretty much eating everything in sight. Talk about a 360. I don’t know who’s more bummed, my stretch pants or Matt, who hasn’t had a full meal for two weeks.
The only break he gets is during dessert. So when it came to this Walnut and Chocolate Cake Bar, I didn’t even offer him any (but, psst. .. the man has no taste for sweets). Lucky for me and you!
Agreed? Okay then, let’s do this. Keep this chilled until ready to eat. And don’t worry about the bit of melty chocolate on your hands if you run warm, that’s what the belly or the back of a shirt is good for –okay, or napkin . . . I guess.
