I try to ward off my sweets cravings by distracting my brain with a piece of fruit or drinking a glass of water whenever possible. But some days, there is simply nothing to be done except to give in to my desire for sweet treats! On days like those, I often turn to a piece of this Gluten-Free Honey Cake. It is sweetened with monkfruit and calls for gluten-free flour, so I don’t feel sluggish or foggy after indulging. And remember, allowing yourself the occasional dessert will prevent a restriction mentality that is guaranteed to lead to more cravings. So if you choose to make this cake, enjoy it fully and without guilt!
