Heart Healthy Cake by Susan Marque
A healthy cake? Well, as cakes go, this one is moist and full of flavor without strong sweetener, very little oil and even no eggs.
Give it a try with your favorite fruit topping, chocolate sauce or vanilla frosting. Use it as a base for an ice cream sundae or even add chocolate chips to the batter.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 Cups Barley flour (you may substitute your favorite flour but the barley adds to the moistness and flavor of the cake.)
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp.
 sea salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (optional
- 2 Tablespoons flax seeds (the golden ones are what I used)
- 3/4 Cup Rice milk (Rice Dream brand)
- 6 Tablespoons brown rice syrup
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Oil a 9" pie plate
- Put the rice milk and flax seeds in a blender and blend for several minutes.
- Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the blender and blend for several more minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, sea salt, baking powder and spices if you are using them.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well mixed. (please do not over mix the ingredients as that can produce a tougher product)
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25 minutes. The cake will turn a nice golden brown.
Fruit Sauce For Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of your favorite fruit, (rinsed, sorted and chopped if necessary)
- 1/2 Cup Brown rice syrup
- 1/3 Cup water
- 1-2 Tablespoons Kudzu (mixed in just enough water to make a slurry) pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Place the fruit, syrup, water and salt in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer until the fruit is tender. (for most that will only be 5-10 minutes.) Add the Kudzu slurry stirring constantly to thicken. Adjust the amount of water to have the consistency you desire.
- Add 1 tsp. of vanilla extract if you like or a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
