Low Carb Carrot Cake with a dollop of cream cheese.

If you Want Cake but are on a Low Carb Diet, try This Recipe

I made this low carb carrot cake recipe as part of our gluten free family’s resolution to kick the refined sugar habit. We’ve been guilty of indulging in the sweets last year, especially over the holidays. We have an upcoming birthday in our house, and to keep in line with our new year resolution, I have decided to make a healthier cake for us to share together as a family. I recently got a bag of Pure Palm™ from Xylitol USA and thought I would give it a whirl with a few of my regular gluten free baked recipes. Unlike refined sugar and evaporated cane juice (the organic version of refined cane sugar) …continue reading »

Pack These Low Carb Apple Muffins in Your School Lunchbox

So how did these gluten free low carb Apple Muffins come about? Well, this grain-free recipe was an act of accidental genius, and I only have this crazy house full of kids to thank. Want the short version of what happened? I was making low carb carrot muffins, actually. My plan was to alter my Carrot Cake recipe by taking the sugar out completely and using only honey as a sweetener. I also planned to substitute my gluten free flour with almond flour to make it low carb. I had all the ingredients out and had even peeled and grated the carrots. But of course, baking on a Sunday afternoon is risky business in my house. …continue reading »

Blueberry Scones

If you have drooled over the Starbucks bakery display or have dreamed of having just one more scone again, I am here to tell you that it is time to wake up and get cooking! Little chef and I bought a scone pan from Nordicware while at our local Dominick’s store, a Safeway affiliate. It wasn’t cheap, and I hesitated to buy it, but at the last minute I gave in to my little chef’s cajoling.

This morning we decided it was time to try it out. The pan is made out of heavy cast aluminum and it makes eight large triangular shaped scones. We altered the recipe supplied by Nordicware and had tremendous success! All three boys thought it was delicious, and I even caught little chef picking the crumbs off of his plate. I think our version was a bit on the sweet side (well at least for our tastes, as we have been low sugar for about a year now). But it may be perfectly suitable for the average sweet-tooth. To put it into perspective, my diagnosed son wanted to know why we were allowed to eat dessert for breakfast….. …continue reading »

The Joy of Eating a Gluten-free Angel Food Cake…

Angel Food Cake

My mom’s most requested cake is just a simple angel food cake with fresh fruit and whipped cream. She wanted me to bake her something I could eat too, so we decided to take a chance on baking an angel food cake with an alternative flour.

We thought it would work, since angel food cake only uses 1 cup of flour, and all the leavening comes from the dozen eggs in the recipe. But just in case, we bought a back-up cake at the grocery store.

You know what that means — it worked! Any time you’re ready with the back-up, you don’t need it, right? …continue reading »

Carrot Cake

This year for Dad’s birthday he had only one request: carrot cake. He’s not exactly gluten and corn free, but the rest of us are, so I decided to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. It is a “from scratch” recipe, as sure sign that my gluten and corn free confidence is building. A year ago I would have never attempted such a feat. I researched ‘best’ carrot cake recipes of the traditional gluten variety and I finally settled on a game plan when I found a tried and true recipe from All Recipes.com that seemed to get the highest ratings from viewers. …continue reading »

Semi-Homemade Gluten and Corn-free Pumpkin Spice Cake

pumpkinspicecake.pngWho says you can’t get festive without all the artificial ingredients? I love pumpkin in just about any form, so in honor of harvest season I decided to get a little experimental on a traditional favorite: spice cake. This recipe is fast and easy. And if you are stocked up on Miss Roben’s cake-like-doughnut mix and corn-free powdered sugar, you may be able to whip it up tonight. It takes just five minutes to prepare and nearly an hour to bake. Of course this spice cake is also suitable for the Feingold diet, but it does contain milk as one of its main ingredients. …continue reading »
