While experimenting for one of my latest projects I came up with this beauty and thought I would share the recipe with you. This cake uses ground almonds instead of flour which helps keep it gorgeously moist for days (not that it lasted that long in my house!). The even better news is that almonds are a heart-healthy food as they help to reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and also contain lots of magnesium and vitamin E. I have also swapped half the regular sugar for coconut sugar as although no sugar is good for you this one is better than regular caster sugar as it has a lower glycemic index and contains more vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately I couldn't swap it all as the coconut sugar wouldn't have the same effect on the egg whites. Recipe:
Serves 6-8 depending on how hungry you are! Sadly my cake didn't last long enough for me to take a picture, I hope you enjoy eating yours as much as we did! Hx

Herbal Medicine has been used successfully for centuries to treat a wide variety of ailments. However, due to recent changes to European Medicines law, herbalists must now be classified as authorized health professionals (by being statutorily regulated) to continue to supply a range of herbal medicines. Unfortunately in the UK statutory regulation has not yet been provided which has meant that many patients can no longer purchase their herbal medicines from a qualified practitioner. This has driven some people to purchase herbal medicines online from unsafe internet sites without the advice and guidance of a herbalist.
Statutory regulation benefits not only the practitioners, by ensuring they can maintain their livelihood by supplying consultations and medicines it also benefits the public by allowing them to consult properly trained professionals rather than back-street traders. If you would like to maintain your right to choose how we heal our bodies then please help by signing the below petition and help make the Secretary of State's pledge in February 2011 a reality. Thank you! Hx |
