Our product review team features two (2) "Products Of The
Month" one in each issue of
our magazine. These products will be the group consensus of those we find to be the
most innovative, healthy, tasty, and/or helpful to the low-carber's daily dietary regime.
Expert Foods Cake-ability
Looking to make a scrumptious Fall or Halloween Cake?
The people at Expert Foods are (pardon the pun) experts
at innovative ideas for cooking and baking. And with the introduction of their
new "Cake-ability", they've hit on another winner.
This amazing mix allows you to mix 1/2 cup of their product with your favorite
nut flour, eggs, sweetener, and liquid (water, soda, DaVinci, etc), and
voila you have a cake with a texture
that very closely resembles commercial cake-mix textures for an exceptionally low
carb cake! And if the liquid you use is DaVinci Sugarfree Syrup, you may not need
to add the carbs from granulated sweeteners.
The package back label contains recipes for a standard (any flavor) cake, a basic
chocolate cake, a chocolate torte, banana bread, or muffins. Plus hints and tips
for make other flavors and varieties. And guess what? They're all easy and they
all work!
We've made the cakes with three different nut flours almond
(we used a very fine ground blanched almond flour), which gives the most traditional
texture and taste; pecan flour, which gives a rich praline flavor to cakes and is
super with spices like cinnamon, cloves, etc.; and with macadamia nut flour, which gave
us the most moist results, and a sweet nutty taste. You can always mix your nut
flours, too.
The possibilities are nearly
endless, and they can be made in loaf pans, round pans, cupcakes, etc. Top with
flavored whipped cream, cream cheese frostings, etc. Or just cut in squares and eat
as a snack cake.
A 6-oz pouch makes three 1.5 pound cakes (48 servings!) I can't imagine not using it in my nut-flour cakes anymore! You can order online
from The Low Carb Connoisseur.
