I was taken by a sudden urge to make one though, and found this recipe for a gluten free chocolate cake.<br /><br /><em>Ingredients</em><br />2 cups blanched almond flour<br />1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder<br />1/2 tsp sea salt<br />1/2 tsp baking soda<br />1 cup honey<br />2 large eggs<br />1 TB vanilla<br /><br /><br />Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 350 F.<br /><br />Being in a chocolatey mood I also added half a block of broken up dark cooking chocolate, as well a 200 gram bag of mixed cranberries and macadamias.<br /><br />Turned out well. Think I could do better though. Pictures next time!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6793697403592334756-8095111270454647105?l=the-briar-patch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07977443052103885112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6793697403592334756.post-78158304367138001192011-10-09T16:35:00.000+01:002011-10-09T16:35:18.858+01:00This is my recipe for a first try at a low fat fish pie.
