Purple Sweet Potato Cake
This cake is an ode to the changing of summer into autumn! I love the flavor and texture of sweet potato-in dessert however, I wanted to pair it with something fluffy and floral. This is why this cake blends the best of both worlds, incorporating purple sweet potato puree, and violet-infused sugar, with a fluffy coconut oil-based frosting.
St. John's Wort Herbal Oil
Infused into a fresh herbal oil like the recipe below, St. John's Wort works wonders helping to heal scar tissue, surface wounds, burns, blisters, rashes, abrasions, bed-sores, boils & stings. It also makes a great massage oil for nerve pain, muscle spasm, stiffness & sprains. Specifically for viral outbreaks of the skin such as shingles and chickenpox, St. John's Wort can be used both internally and externally to help boost immunity and prevent scarring.
