As the growing number of gluten intolerant individuals increase and identify with celiac disease (a disease that prevents the absorption of nutrients in the small intestines) is the growth for the demand for recipes that will allow these people to enjoy the meals, yet to avoid unpleasant reactions.
While most people with celiac disease would avoid baked goods such as cake, as if it were the plague. But if an individual wishing to indulge in gluten free pastries, they should invest in gluten-free flour from brown rice, soybean, chestnut, buckwheat, corn, potatoes and chickpeas and gluten-free baking powder, which is now widely available in supermarkets.
The following is a recipe for gluten free chocolate cake.

½ tsp gluten free baking powder

Very detailed info. I am very glad to read this article. Thanks for giving us nice articles.
ReplyDeleteThis cake sounds good, although I almost always find the texture of gluten free chocolate cakes to be somewhat inferior to that of their wheaten counterparts.
ReplyDeleteI recently gave in at a wedding to the posh-looking chocolate cake. It had a majestic texture and was consistent throughout and nice to eat. Not to mention the fact that nearly 4 hours afterwards I was thinking I would need the hospital and could hardly walk due to severe joint pain. Sick for 2 weeks afterward (I'm coeliac)
I found a mix from sun flour mills that I plan to order and try soon - their award winning chocolate cake mix. They're based in Idaho in the USA and the product won first prize in two independent competitions.
The Almost Bourdain blog recently featured a flourless chinese five spice cake recipe which really looked perfect in terms of texture - extremely cake for being flourless and looked fairly easy to make - just need to find the time...
Meanwhile, on the other hand, I recently found a potential cure for those with gluten intolerance and celiac disease - Dr. Wise's Gluten Relief. It's a recent post of mine on my blog...
