Default Two healthy deserts

Chocolate Cake Recipe ( very low gluten)

11/4 cups soy flour(I use half soy and half almond meal)
1/2 cup potato flour
1-1/4 teaspoons bicarbonate soda
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
150g butter melted
1tabs white vinegar
1cup evaporated milk or 1/2 cup milk(I use 1/2cup soy milk)
2 eggs
1 banana mashed
2 tabs honey
just place the mix in one large round or square tin,line base with
baking paper when cooking
Sift flours,bicarbonate soda and cocoa into bowl. Add
sugar,butter,vinegar and milk and beat with electric mixer on low for 2
mins. Add eggs, banana and honey and beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour
into prepared pan Bake in preheated 160c oven for approx 55mins.Cool in
pan for 5 mins before turning out ice the top with chock icing or
topping of your choice ( served with Greek yoghurt and no icing it's
wonderful).
Enjoy
nb: splendor cannot replace the sugar in whole but 50:50 seems to work


If you want a warm desert how about Blueberry and Rhubarb crumble served
with your favourite side

The crumble recipe as follows:
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup brown sugar or 50:50 splendor
60 g butter
Mix dry ingredients together then cut butter into small cubes(or melt)
and mix into dry ingredients
Cook 700g of rhubarb with 1/2 cup sugar in water. Simmer until soft and
let sit for at least 10mins and then drain. Combine in 9x13cm shallow
pan with 2 tins of blueberries (400g each). Mix in 2tabs icing
sugar(optional) then put crumble on top. Cook for about 25mins at 200
centigrade.

Watch that it doesn't burn.

I hope you enjoy this as an occasional Sunday treat

Two healthy deserts, Sahara and Gobi.

Two crappy desserts, the ones I snipped from the original post.

How many calories and fat grams in the first deSSert?
(You only want to cross the desert once, but always go up twice for
dessert.)

None. Who'd want to eat it?

A better quote would be, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Sam's Club had huge plastic clam shell containers of strawberries
(from CA) and kiwifruit (from Italy of all places). Both are
excellent... had some as an after dinner snack last night, and again
this morning. The best way to peel kiwifruit is with a tsp. Last
night I had forgotten so attacked them with a paring knife, not good.
This morning I remembered to use a tsp.

I've done that too but it's a bit messier at table... still that
technique works better when separating the skin with the dull side of
the paring knife, the sharp side has a propensity to slice the skin,
and maybe finger skin too.

What I've discovered is that peeling kiwifruit releases a lot of juice
so do it over a plate to catch the juices... then if the slices are
laid out flat on the plate they will reabsorb those juices... no
waste, neato... and you won't have to lick the plate! heheh

I think no matter which method paring kiwifruit causes sticky
finger... the one plus is that the skin is naturally non-skid.

With over ripe kiwifruit make sorbet.

I have a metal ice cream scoop JUST the right size for kiwi. Works
well. I agree - forget the paring knife routine.

Fat ? who knows and I don't count kilijoules

Point is a diabetic can have a modest slice being lower in carbs than
many desserts , the chocolate cake has a very silky texture which is
terribly hard to resist , if you people are really good I might post the
wifes mango and pineapple tart recipe

( has fresh whipped cream as a topping)
