Vanilla Plum Cake
I am on a mission to find a good gluten-free cake recipe for my brother who has a gluten allergy and has a birthday coming up.
For my first attempt, I decided to try out a simple vanilla cake but added the plums on top to resemble a recipe my Grammy used to make. I think it tastes good and my mom is a huge fan haha
The cake is a bit heavier than ordinary cakes, but the taste is definietly there and it's guilt free! no wheat, no gluten, no sugar, low fat! And the plums on top add to the beneficial part for blood type O:-D
what you'll need:
*1 cup rice flour
*1 1/2 cup tapioca flour
*1 tsp. baking powder
*1 tsp. baking soda
*1/4 tsp. salt
*2 tsp. vanilla pudding powder
*1/4 cup vanilla soy yogurt
*1/4 cup apple sauce
*1/2 cup almond breeze vanilla milk substitute
*1/4 cup flaxseed/ grapeseed oil mix
*1/4 cup raw honey
*4 tbsp. agave
*4 plums
start your ovens...350 :-D
in a large bowl mix together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and vanilla pudding powder. (i used a wooden spoon for all of this)
then add the almond breeze milk slowly and stir. then add the soy yogurt, applesauce and oil and stir.
finally add the honey and agave and stir extremely well... until smooth:-)
pour mixture into oven-safe dish. slice the plums into thin slices and lay on top of batter.
bake for 35-45 minutes.
to see if it is done, stick a toothpick in and if the toothpick comes out clean, it is done.
I really like eating this with a cup of tea!
hope you enjoy!
you are loved.
