I’m Lena, I am a food blogger specialised in beans and lentils (Linsenlena), and I love cake. I realised that a cake doesn’t necessarily have to consist of eggs, butter, sugar and flour almost ten years ago when I was served a chocolate cake with courgettes. Since then, no vegetable is safe from me! In the meantime, I bake my cakes almost exclusively from beans and lentils and thus satisfy my craving for sweets not only with less sugar, more protein and simply healthier, but also in a much more sustainable way.
