I just read an article on twitter about a Kansas City woman recovering from Ovarian Cancer. She changed her diet one way by avoiding refined sugar and using agave nectar. So your site caught my eye. I do like sweets and I am looking forward to trying the pound cake recipe and the carrot cake recipe.
thumbs up! i linked to this post
I made this cake and the cake fell. What does the Asterisk meal by the flour. I used regular flour and it did not turn out good
The asterisk suggests that you can use whole wheat flour in this recipe if so desired. To prevent your cake from falling, try hand mixing rather than blender mixing to keep from over mixing the ingredients. Also, if you are at an altitude of 3500 or lower you should reduce your liquids slightly in your recipe. For this recipe, try reducing the milk content by a tbsp or two.
Without having to use nasty white sugar, I’ve renamed this “Ounce Cake”! People LOVE it! I use regular unbleached flour with great results. I also doubled the vanilla and left out the almond. Being very health conscience, I THANK YOU for a dessert I can feel good about serving to company. I’ll bake my way through your website!
