    Chocolate Garbanzo Bean Cake (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    This recipe comes to us from Caryn Quaker.

    1 ½ cups of gluten-free semisweet chocolate chips
    3 cups of caned chick peas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed.
    6 eggs
    1 ½ cup sugar
    1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
    1 ½ table spoon powdered sugar

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    In a small bowl melt the chips in the microwave 2 minutes on medium. In a blender or food processor combine chick peas, eggs, sugar, baking powder and mix until smooth, then add the melted chocolate blend and mix until smooth. Pour into 2 x 9 non stick pan, greased and gluten-free floured. Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes. Use a tooth pick to determine that it is cooked. Cool for about 2 minutes and take out of pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with raspberry jelly and shredded coconut.

    I couldn't believe this recipe (using beans for a cake!) but it turned out to be the best chocolate cakes ever. I made it for my boyfriend's family and they loved it. It is very dense and rich, but the garbanzo beans keep it from becoming overpowering.

    Scott Adams

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    This recipe comes to us from Valerie Wells.

    1 stick (½ cup) butter
    1 tablespoon shortening
    1 ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
    Add & beat well:
    2 jumbo eggs**
    Add:
    1 cup unsweetened pureed fresh zuchinni*
    1 ½ cup Gluten Free Flour Mix (any kind)
    ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
    ¼ teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder

    Beat until smooth. Bake in greased & floured 8" x 8 square baking pan at 350F for 45 minutes (If you bake in glass, reduce the heat by 25F).
    I like my cakes semi sweet. If you prefer a sweeter cake you can substitute some of the cocoa powder with corn starch. The recipe originally calls for ½ cup corn starch & I substituted cocoa p...

    I’ve been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember, as everyone loves it. The key is the moisture, which is obtained by the high oil content. This cake is very moist and tastes delicious by itself, but a Cream Cheese Frosting recipe is included below, as well as Cashew Cream for Vegans.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9x9x2'' pan. Mix together:
    1 and ½ cup Almond Meal Flour (Health Food Store carries; check labels, or you can grind almonds finely in blender or food processor – measure after ground) or if nut-sensitive, use any gluten-free flour such as flour listed below – then cover 5 minutes after baking so it stays moist.
    ½ cup organic quinoa or amaranth Flour or combination of these
    2 tsp. aluminum-free Baking Soda (health store)
    2 t...

    Traditional Carrot Cake (Gluten-Free)
    The following gluten-free carrot cake recipe is truly a traditional cake. Full of some of the most common allergens like, dairy, eggs and nuts. I tend  to experiment  with new recipes by replacing ingredients I can't tolerate, with ingredients I can. For example, many recipes allow you to substitute eggs with applesauce. The nuts can be left out-for those allergic to nuts, and the cream cheese can be substituted for dairy-free cream cheese. When substituting however, ratios will be different and it is a good idea to know what ratio of applesauce (for example) equals 4 eggs. Ratio quantities will also greatly depend on your taste buds, but if this recipe is okay for your diet, dig in and enjoy!
    Cake Ingredients:

    1 cup pecans - toasted and finely chopped 2 ½  cups carrots - f...

    I never had a desire to eat cupcakes, until I went gluten-free. And now that I can't eat them, I crave them like crazy. Of course, it doesn't help that cupcakery's are popping up everywhere as the new food craze. This is a cupcake recipe that is free of most common allergens. It is gluten-free, nut-free, corn-free and vegan. To also make this  beet/cane sugar-free I will be experimenting with this recipe using agave syrup in place of sugar. While I don't drink coffee, I am a sucker for coffee flavored sweets. However, if you are not a coffee fan, you can replace the coffee with chocolate, vanilla, or some other flavor that you prefer.
    To make cupcake batter, whisk together the following:

    ¾ rounded cup sorghum ¾ rounded cup  tapioca starch  (you can also use potato or corn...

      What do my test results mean?

      You still may have NCGS. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac...

      What do my test results mean?

      My physician messaged and said I had a negative panel. I was diagnosed with IBS as a teenager and have had GI issues ever since. I have chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, nausea. I am adopted and didn’t know my medical history, so I took a dna test a few years ago. I had tested positive for one of the markers, so said I was at increased r...

      What do my test results mean?

      Welcome to the forum, @jmiller93! What was the range used by that lab to establish positive vs. negative? Different labs use different ranges. There is no industry standard. But the number is low enough to suggest a negative test result for the tTG-IGA. That one is actually an antibody test used to detect celiac disease. The other one, the "IGA" at ...

      Hello! I just was notified of my test results of my celiac reflex panel. The ttg-iga was <2, but the iga was high-366.
