Really Great Chocolate Almond Cake Recipe


NYCCeliacMom

Recommended Posts

I have baked a chocolate almond cake from a recipe in this month's Gluten Free Living magazine (the issue is 2/2009) two times. The recipe author is Jacqueline Mallorca from her book The Wheat-Free Cook, Gluten -Free Recipes for Everyone. The main ingredients is almond flour, which is pricey, but it was really worth it to eat something moist and delicious. It was quick to make as well.

Would you believe it! I bought that magazine today at Borders and it's right here next to me on the table! :D

Have not had a chance to open it, but will definitely check out that recipe--it sounds fantastic!

You can get almond meal/almond flour at Trader Joe's for about $4 per bag. I use it in just about everything. It's not made from blanched almonds like the Bob's stuff, but it works quite good. I use it in lieu of breadcrumbs in a lot of things too.

Is the Trader Joes almond meal dark because the skins are left on? Just curious. Do you make things like breaded chicken with it? My kids miss that.

I DO make breaded chicken with almond meal. The TJ's stuff is dark because the almonds aren't blanched.

For breaded chicken, I use about 1/2 almond meal, 1/2 cornmeal and some Italian Spices or Herbes de Provence, garlic powder and salt and pepper. If I'm feeling clever, sometimes I'll throw in some Parmesan in there.

I use egg to "glue" the breading on chicken and fry it up in olive oil and butter.

The only thing that's not great is that it soaks up a lot of oil, so it's a bit fattier than I'd like. But it's a lovely alternative to Italian style breadcrumbs.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
