LOW GI/GL GINGER CAKE for those who requested I post it on here. You could probably substitute other flours such as soya but would need to use xanthan gum with it for it to hold together. Possibly add grated root ginger instead (or with) the ground ginger
GINGER CAKE
4ozs Quinoa flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
6 oz coconut palm sugar
ground ginger to taste
4oz pinhead oatmeal
4 oz unsalted butter (sweet butter)
1 beaten egg
Melt butter and stir in the sugar followed by rest of the dry ingredients
beat the egg and stir into the mixture
Pour into small loaf tin lined with baking parchment
cook at 120C for an hour to hour and a half until knife comes out clean
lift out of tin with edges of paper and cool on a baking rack
I adapted one of my old favourite recipes and luckily it came out ok the first time - apart from burning the sugar slightly (I'd put butter AND sugar on together but as it doesn't dissolve into the butter like normal sugar does it stuck a little - hence the melt butter first.......
