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 |

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) |
