This cake recipe came out of a diet cookbook I have. It is entirely flour free, and still has the texture of a real cake. I was quite impressed.
3/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
3 tblsp cocoa powder
1/2 cup sucanat
1/2 cup splenda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tblsp powdered egg white
2 tsp guar gum
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tblsp white vinegar
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all the dry ingredients and sift into an 8 inch square pan that you have sprayed with some cooking spray. (I dont have a sifter, so instead i just mixed
the ingredients in a bowl and stirred enthusiastically with a whisk to break up the lumps and combine). Make 2 holes in the mix and put the vinegar in one and the oil in the other. Pour the water over top of the whole thing and stir until there are no dry bits left. Immediately put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
The cake is ok by itself, but also good with a little ice cream, or some melted chocolate on top.
