Mandeltorte (sort Of)

Today I made a cake that turned out really well for me. It is a gluten-free version of a mandeltorte.

You bake it at 350. I used 2 glass pie plates (the old fashioned kind from pyrex) and just poured the better into them straight. They were in there for 30 minutes and then I turned the over off and let them coast to a brown, if you know what I mean.

Take 1 cp. of almond meal, heaped.

add 3/4 cps of sugar

add 6 egg yolks and 1 whole egg (save the 6 whites for later)

mix on high speed

add the juice from one lemon (small)

add 1 tsp of cinnamon

add 1 tsp of ground ginger

add 1 tblsp of vanilla

add 1 cup of pecans and dried cranberries

add 1/2 cup of brown sugar

add 1/3 heaping cup of rice flour and garbanzo bean flour (about 50-50)

mix on med-- don't worry if it chops your pecans up a bit. No biggie.

Separately, beat your egg whites until peaks form (but not until stiff) and

add 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar

add 1/2 cp of sugar and beat until glossy

Fold the egg whites into the batter. Stir in 1.5 apples, cored, peeled and chopped. I used MN honey golds, which are red but which are a teensy bit tart.

Pour batter into pie plates immediately (the almond meal will settle to the bottom. Can't be helped.) Distribute the apples nicely.

When these are done, they will be golden brown on top and the top will be airy, a bit like the crust of an angelfood cake. In theory, you are supposed to turn these out (and in theory the bottom will fall a bit) and fill them with whipped cream and fruit and stuff like that. Your call. Mine never made it to th "turn out" stage.

The almond settles into the bottom and the cake is very moist. In a way, they are closer to bars or really reminiscent of the texture of those lemon bars I used to love (BC-- before celiac!)

I hope you like them.

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
