I designed this simplified version of the Fächer Torte one Sunday when Moon met my Ceres in Taurus. As it is located in my 6th house - the zone of health, daily routine and work - Ceres is exactly the one responsible for my commitment to holistic diet and healthy daily routine. For past seven years transiting Uranus was making her company. This occasion gave her the opportunity to change, improve & revolutionize old recipes & concepts. It also gave me chance to discover some completely new paths of the art of living.
So this simple cake is the fruit of Moon's and Ceres's desire for enjoyment, spiced with some inspiration from Uranus!
This pie is #sugarfree, #glutenfree and #lactosefree. The main ingredients are chestnuts, carob, apples, raisins and prunes, which have their natural sweetness. Due to the high presence of fiber in these foods, their glycemic index is very low, and it is further reduced by cinnamon and hazelnuts.
