If you are looking for "an easy low carb coconut flour pound cake made with coconut flour and baked in a loaf pan" then look no further! "This simple low carb cake is great as a snack with a pat of butter or dressed up with ice cream... for some people, not being able to enjoy desserts and baked goods on any diet is a deal breaker. But low carbers have found ways to healthify some of their favourite recipes, making them diabetic friendly and healthy for weight-loss."

Yummy!

tea or coffee?
All the best Jan
Vinegar?! Now this sounds interesting - and not that sweet at all!
ReplyDeleteCan I leave out the xanthum gum? I avoid all gums if I can. I don't know if I am intolerant or allergic. My allergist will figure that out.
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI think a slice of that would be delicious with a scoop of ice-cream.
ReplyDelete...doesn't look low carb!

Hello there, many thanks for your comment and question ...
"If you are allergic to xanthan gum, is there an alterative? The answer is yes. The best bet for those allergic to Xanthan gum, or simply want to do away with it, is to make your own food products. If you have a recipe calling for xanthan gum, you can usually substitute it out. The best alternatives to use would be: psyllium fiber, chia seeds, glucomannan, ground flax seeds, gelatin, and agar agar. These products can give a similar thickening effect.
Xanthan gum has many uses and is relatively safe to consume. However, if you have a food allergy to corn, wheat, or soy there are alternatives you can use. Be mindful of the ingredients of your products the next time you are at the grocery store. You would be surprised as to how many products contain xanthan gum."
