Blueberry Cheesecake
Cheese cakes are often mistaken for healthy cakes although they are most often far worse than mine.
Blueberry Ice Cream Cake
I often make treats from blueberries in the autumn since the only berries we get in Iceland are blueberries and bilberries (and redcurrants).
Banana and Nut Cake with Lemon and Coconut Frosting
This is an easy and simple cake to make as you don't need to bake it. It is the perfect cake to make if you are having guests over in an hour and don't have anything prepared.
Pineapple and Ginger Cake
This is a gluten free and lactose free cake which is excellent for people with those types of allergies/intolerance. The cake is moist and quite dense and becomes quite dark on top.
Carrot Cake with Quark and Date Frosting
This is one of my husband's favourite cakes. He gets soooo happy when I make it, he almost jumps with joy. This is a low fat carrot cake with a low fat frosting.
Birthday Nut and Date Cake
I often make this cake for my birthday which is why it bears the same name. I love serving delicious cakes that are gluten free, egg free, lactose free and vegan.
Almond Cookies with Chocolate Frosting
Almonds are packed with calcium and protein and macadamia nuts also contain healthy stuff, notably the mono-unsaturated fats which are good for our heart.
Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies
These are typical Christmas cookies in the Icelandic household. My grandmother and mother made similar cookies and my husband's grandmother and my mother in law also made them.
