Gluten and Dairy free chocolate cake recipe – low FODMAP Well today my eldest daughter sat the 1st of her 3 transfer exams to senior school. She came out happy in the knowledge that we had a fun day ahead planned! So all was good. It started with concocting some yummy home-made; tuna, chilli, spring onion greens, pepper, caper, cheese on corn tortilla pizza’s for lunch followed by a trip in the winter sunshine to the park for some monkeying around. We returned with a hunger for chocolate cake so we experimented with this simple recipe and I thought it was so good I should share it with you, especially as it is made with a healthy fat choice; olive oil, and it is also low FODMAP and gluten free, dairy free too…. 80g cocoa 130ml boiling water 150g ground almonds 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda pinch of salt 200g brown/caster sugar 150ml olive oil Eggs x 3 whisked Blend thoroughly together the sugar, olive oil and 3 whisked eggs to create a creamy ‘mayo’ Mix the boiling water with the cocoa to a paste Weigh the almonds, bicarb of soda, and salt in a bowl, add the cocoa paste and the dry ingredients to the ‘mayo’ mix and blend.
