It's been a busy week with my lovely in-laws coming up to visit us for a few days. Having visitors gave me a good excuse to try out a recipe I spotted in a library book recently. The book was called 'Blood Sugar - The Family' by Michael Moore, a chef and also diabetic. There were a number of interesting looking recipes but the 'Not so naughty chocolate cake' caught my eye especially as it claims to be low fat, low GI, high protein and low sugar! I was curious to know whether it also tasted good. My in-laws do not normally eat reduced sugar, gluten free cakes so I thought this would be a good test.
Not so Naughty Chocolate Cake
I cannot claim this recipe as my own so I should point you in the direction of the following link www.mindfood.com/recipe/not-so-naughty-chocolate-cake/. I only made a few minor alterations to the recipe, substituting gluten free ingredients where necessary i.e. flour, cocoa and chocolate. I used frozen raspberries inside my layers and some gluten free mini chocolate eggs to decorate. My daughter described my cake as looking 'rustic'. I think I know what she means as I had a bit of trouble slicing my sponge into three layers. Next time I'll do that bit before I start on the wine! Still I think it looks okay and more importantly it did taste good!
