PLUM & BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ

in #esteem โ€ข 5 years ago (edited)

Hello my Dearest Foodies,

My spelt baking continues after those tasty EMPANADAS I made few days ago. However, today I have for you a sweet, yet guilt free treat, you can have for breakfast or anytime you like. Just don't eat the whole cake by yourself all at once. Trust me, I am having hard time not too, lol.

By the way, you can also use a different fruit, if you like, although these plums are very yummy. I bought whole basket and I used only few for the cake, so I am still munching on them. I am not sure what kind they are, because I never had them before. Inside, they are red as beet root and very juicy. I highly recommend, if you can find them in your local market. They also very reasonably priced too.

I really hope you will like this yummy dessert and I wish you very joyful week

โ€ข Place all the ingredients except water and egg replacement into a food processor and start pressing the pulse button.
โ€ข Continue full speed until it looks like breadcrumbs.

โ€ข Remove the dough and create nice ball.
โ€ข Place it in the middle of the spring form and press down with your fingers making flat surface.
โ€ข Apply plastic wrap to cover the surface and begin pressing down gently with glass while moving towards the edges, until you create rim about 1inch high and ยผ inch thick.

Hi there @lenasveganliving this recipe looks absolutely delicious. I dont know if you remember that a few months ago you gave me permission to use some of your recipes in a steemit cookbook I want to publish? I would to use your smoothy recipe and (whilst I am collecting enough recipes to fill a book) I would like to know if you would mind if I share it on my Blog of course with backlinks and full accreditation?

Honestly I don't remember Claudia, can please remind me which smoothie?

Oh I see, that is quite an old recipe. And yes of course you can share it. By the way, if you don't mind me ask you. Are you planning to self publish or you have a publisher? Because I am thinking about publishing book with my recipes ( the newer and I still working on more). I could use some tips how to go about it. Thank you ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’š

@lenasveganliving, I cant publish my recipe book quite yet dont have enough recipes, hahaha. But I am working on my other book. After paying formaters, who made a total mess and the unfinished book lying around forever I finally decided to it my so I bough a package called "Designrr" and its super easy and nice to use. you can copy paste from existing websites and it automatically formats everything for you or you can do you book from scratch in their editing page. Here you can go and have a look at it. - https://designrr.io/. And thank you for allowing me to publish your recipe. I will back link it to your post.

Oh I see! Thank you so much for that link! However do you have any idea about the cost of publishing a book? I see there are prices for using the website. However, if you self publish a recipe book, what would be the cost of that? I am planning to look for publisher first, but I would like to have a back up plan.

It depends on whether you want ebooks, kindle, softcover or hardcover. I am honestly not sure. I am going to do the ebook version first through my website and then if it goes well I will consider publishing on amazon. The only problem with amazon is that unless you are selling thousands of books, amazon takes a hefty cut out of your profits. Thats why I am doing it myself first to see how it goes. But if you look for a small publishing house they may be able to advise you and you will get a better idea and be able to make a better informed decision. Btw your recipe is on my site and I have linked it back to your website so it can drive some traffic there. here is the link if you would like to have a look: - https://www.gypsey.me/lifestyle/fruit-smoothies-with-chia/

I am so sorry for such a late reply! Thank you so much for your advise. I will look into it. Your website looks very lovely and I pleased to be featured there ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒธ

Now I want to eat a dessert so badly๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
It looks just delicious.

I know what you mean! I wish I have more, lol..............thank you so much ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ

Look so mouthwatering and beautifully presented. Are those purple viola flowers @lenasveganliving? ๐Ÿคค๐ŸŒธ

Thank you so much Sweetie, I am happy you like it. Those are Hydrangea flowers ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ

I love this. I need to try it I was looking for a recipe for a vegan pie with blueberries.

Oh wow! I am so happy to hear that. Thank you so much ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’œ

This one looks very good, dear Lena! I have never baked with this kind of plums as I just like to eat them raw. But they are juicy and can be very sweet so it's a good idea to put them in a dessert. My mouth is actually watering just looking at that cake :)

I am glad you know these plums Martina, so you know what I am talking about. I ate lots of them raw too; they are truly delicious and in season. I will be buying more for sure. However, they are also very good for this type of cake, so I am very please with the result. Thank you so much, I am happy you like it. I wish I could send you some ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’œ

Howdy Miss Lena! oh my gosh, this is magnificent. It's a superfood dessert that is healthy, that's amazing! plus it looks heavy and filling too. I'd have to have ice cream on top though!

Howdy Janton! You are like my daughters, they eat it with ice cream to, lol. But is not as heavy as it looks like, but maybe if you eat two pieces and with ice cream that should do it. Thank you so much for stopping by, I am happy you like it ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒธ

It looks heavenly and your daughters have good taste in desserts! lol.
