Haha. Whip.
You all are going to hate me. And judge me. I know it, I just know it. I kind of cheated. Well, not kind of, I did. I drank alcohol. And alcohol isn’t exactly allowed on the 21 day sugar detox. Oopsies poopsies. Ok let’s talk about why I gave in.
Sergio leaves for Afghanistan in 2 weeks. He’s also an assh*le and said that if he dies, this would be the last time we drank together. It’s not funny, but his humor blows. Give him a break. I’m kidding, I love him. So when I showed up to the bar for Sergio’s ‘see you next year’ bash, he handed me 3 shots of Grey Goose. Yes, three. Yes, I took them. Yes, my stomach was a bit woozy. But the night went wonderfully. Like, OMG good. As soon as 4 shots hit my stomach, the music finally got better. Amazing. The DJ remixed ‘Call Me Maybe’ with ‘Feel So Close’. Yeah. It was awesome. And if you don’t know those two songs, google them then imagine them making love and having a child out of wedlock. Pretty awesome.
When I got home, I drunkenly ate carrot chips. So dedicated to paleo. I got jokes! Anywho, I thankfully don’t feel guilty about it. My friend is going to Afghanistan for 6 months, I wasn’t going to be a complete douche and not drink because I’m sugar detoxing. That’s just dumb to me. And you know what, I had the best night I’ve had in a looong time. Yes, I could have danced without alcohol ruining my liver and increasing my ass size, but then I would have noticed the people staring on with offended eyes. And that would have been just embarrassing.
I left the bar literally soaking in sweat. I could even ring out the sweat from my hair. That’s a good way to get the guys. Make yourself look like a wet poodle. I was a living poodle.
Disclaimer: Drinking is bad for you. And vodka isn’t paleo. Don’t be bad.
It’s funny how I hate sports but I love the Olympics.
I watched 4 movies this weekend. By myself. I need to find a man. Damn poodles.
Oh by the way, I swear this cake isn’t as dry as it looks. I swear!

I tried this for breakfast today and wanted to share that it took almost 25 minutes at 350 in a small ramekin (for those who don’t have a microwave), but it was beautiful and really good! Hoping this photo will show up. . .
Hi Juli,
Just wanted to stop by and say “Hi!” I’ve been a follower of yours since I started my Paleo life (Last June 2012). I am now on Day 2 of my Sugar Detox and its pretty killer. Thank you for this recipe. I am going to try this out when I get home. Its funny how carrots are now the sweetest thing in my life LOL!
Husband and I were hopeful with this one since we are both on the sugar detox, but it tasted like chocolate egg. I could hardly taste any of the other cake flavor like the pumpkin. The texture was right, but the cake flavor was all wrong.
I tried this, but my chocolate whip looked NOTHING like yours and was totally runny…has this happened to anyone else? I used almond butter instead of sunflower butter, but I can’t imagine that would account for such a big difference. The cake is AMAZING though.
This cake was delicious! I’m on day 13 of my first 21DSD and your treat recipes have saved my life. This one has by far been my favorite though! I had to admit that I just topped my cake with coconut butter because I didn’t have sun butter/nut butter for the whip and it was still super delish!
Please move to New Zealand and cook for me. Please.
I love your recipes so much! And having a giggle at the blogs haha!
Since I’m Pale-Atkins with no aversion to dairy, I made this with heavy cream and olive oil instead of the coconut oil and coconut milk- totally worked fine! Though definitely not orange…
Adding a bit of xylitol to the cake and the whip worked well too! The hubby was really suspicious of this one, but once he tried it, he begged to finish mine!
So good! I cheated a bit and instead of the whip just added a few dark chocolate chips.
Not sure what I did wrong but mine turned out a hot mess. Brown and not very tasty. 🙁 I so wanted to like this one too. I’m doing the 21DSD so I’m limited from my normal go to Paleo date mousse.
I added some stevia for sweetness, but I think next time I’ll add more pumpkin and less egg. I could barely taste the pumpkin. Definitely a creative idea, thanks for taking the time to share it!
