Need good cake recipe with no/low honey & nut flour

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm needing a good recipe for a SCD cake for my son's 9th birthday next

week. He is on stage 3 but still very sensitive to honey (although I'd

be willing to try a small amount) and nut flour. He really loves

carrot cake. He's eating eggs, goat yogurt & some cheeses with no ill

effects. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Keli

My son can't do nut flour, nut butters, or too much honey. I'm using

the pumpkin pie filling recipe (uses winter squash) from

pecanbread.com made without honey for my son's 5th birthday party this

weekend. Instead of honey we use 2 tsp of vanilla. I'm going to " ice "

it with cream cheese icing (dripped yogurt, butter, a little honey,

and vanilla). Recipe for the icing is from Lucy's cookbook although it

calls for a decent amount of honey, we just use a little.

Good luck! I'll be interested to see other replies to this question.

Maybe I'll change what I'm making for the party then, LOL!

pureed in order for my son to tolerate them)

Keli,

Are you saying that he is sensitive to nut flour (only) and is ok

with nut butter? You can substitute an equal amount of nut butter

for the nut flour in a recipe. We love Cashew Butter Cake but make

it in the food processor instead of the method explained here:

Could you use 1 cup of nut flour in a large recipe? I see he likes

carrot cake. How about Carrot Squash Kugel?

http://scdrecipe.com/recipes/r_056_00281.php

It has carrot in it. On the other hand since it's not exactly like

carrot cake, it might be disappointlingly different.

How about making cheesecake from BTVC?

Before my son could have nuts, we did a birthday with a pyramid of

baked pear halves. Have you had baked pears? They are unimaginably

fabulous. All SCD and non-SCDers who tried them loved them. They

are, however, not cake.

I wonder if Sheila's Nut-Free, Dairy-Free bread could be sweetened

and used as cake?
