Dairy Free Cassava Cake?


Pyro

I love cassava cake and pick it up at the asian supermarket. The ingredients don't mention milk and the place is generally gluten free so I trusted it. But now I'm starting to think that maybe I should trust them ans just go ahead and start making my own. But al the recipes mention milk and are basically this

If I wanted to cut the dairy, would I just double the coconut milk?

I looked at that recipe and my blood sugar shot up....LOL

How are you Pyro? Havnt seen you around in awhile?

I would use more of the coconut cream with coconut milk mixed in until "sweetened condensed milk" consistency. You might need more sweetener though. You could add honey to the coconut cream/milk mixture. Make sure the liquids are equal to what it calls for.

I'm doing fine. Trying to gain about 30-40 pounds of muscle now so I don't look so frail. I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to take the fat gain in stride. Instead of freaking out about it, I simply see it as a temporary side effect which would have been impossible for me to accept in my previous mindstate.

I've gained almost 50 lbs since going gluten-free and I LOVE it. I don't care that I'm a bit squishy now, I hated being model thin. I am out of shape though, and don't like when I can't lift what I need to lift or move what I need to move, so I'm working on that, but Oh! The Joy! The Rapture! I have a bum!!!!!

Alt Cassava Cake Recipe

Ingredients

* 1 tin coconut milk (398ml)

* 2 packets grated cassava (or you can grate one yourself equal to about a pound)

* 2 eggs, beaten (or the equivalent in egg substitution form)

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar

* 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine (you can use coconut oil if you can't have butter)

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Mix all the ingredients except the melted butter/margarine in a bowl.

Pour the mixture into a greased dish. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and brush melted butter on top of the cake. Bake the cake for another 15 to 30 minutes until the edges is golden brown.

I love the brown edges as its extra chewy.

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
