    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.
    Cream:
    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

    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)

    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!

    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...

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just...

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet? This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits. By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off. After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial...

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria. I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat. Especially in early healing there may be other foods...
