Gluten-free and sugar-free cake

 Gluten-free and sugar-free cake

I learned this recipe while trying to make a cake for my afternoon tea, but gluten-free.

A recipe with inexpensive ingredients and very easy to make; let's see together: 

Recipe :

Ingredients :

·        1 egg;

·        2 tablespoons of cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt, or natural yogurt);

·        2 tablespoons of honey (preferably natural);

·        ½ cup grated coconut;

·        Lemon zest;

·        1 pinch of salt;

·        Raisins or chocolate chips.

Preparation:

·     Turn on the oven to 180°;

·     In a bowl – salad bowl put the ingredients – in order – mixing well to obtain a homogeneous texture;

·     Pour into a buttered mold;

·     Sprinkle with raisins or chocolate chips;

·     Cook for 20 minutes, keeping an eye on the cooking, then turn on the oven broiler for a few minutes (no more than 3 minutes, in principle);

·     Let it cool or even cool;

·     Store in the refrigerator.

Once we get into the habit of avoiding gluten, it will be difficult to eat it again; in fact, the feeling of lightness after having "eaten healthily" encourages us - even more - to avoid semolina or white flour, especially since the latter causes us more and more gastric discomfort.

Certainly, semolina is richer – in benefits – than white flour, but it is always recommended to consume it in moderation, except for people with celiac disease; although, however, many are following a “healthy” diet, to stay in good shape and have a beautiful figure.

Instead of raisins or chocolate chips, you can frost the cake with chocolate – after baking, of course.

…And enjoy your meal.
