Not your average everyday gluten-free chocolate cake.
This is one to save up for when the girls come round or you have an extra-special family gathering; I hope you and your friends enjoy it.
It contains so many anti-inflammatory ingredients, for overall health and wellbeing.
This is particularly important in perimenopause and menopause when levels of estrogen and testosterone, which have an anti-inflammatory effect on your body, decline. This means boosting anti-inflammatory sources elsewhere is even more important.
I sometimes make one large cake, or I make muffin sized cakes.
For one whole cake I use a 20cm (8 inch) round cake tin. You can also use a small brownie tin - 20cmx20cm.
Or make individual baby cakes, using a muffin tin - how many little cakes this makes depends on the size of your muffin tin/how deep you like your small cakes to be.
At my Retreats this year, I'll be making this cake, and showing you how to make it and the frostings. For more information, please go to my Retreat page here.
Please note, if you are someone who has migraines, take care with cocoa, as it can sometimes, but not necessarily, be a trigger.
If you are following a low histamine diet or want to avoid cocoa, then I suggest the following swaps:
*Instead of cocoa > use ground corn meal/polenta
*Add 4 teaspoons spices eg cinnamon/nutmeg
*For Low Histamine - Instead of ground almonds > use ground pistachios and/or macadamia nuts and/or ground pumpkin seeds and/or ground hemp seeds.
