Low Chemical / Failsafe, Recipe

This is the last of my practice runs for Oscar’s birthday party – the birthday cake. Given that there is going to be a lot of chocolate party food I decided to make a vanilla cake, and as natural food colours are out (experiment #1) I have a bought a Thomas and Friends cake topper,… Read more

Low Chemical / Failsafe, Recipe

We had another birthday last month – mine this time. And my boys did a wonderful job making my birthday cake. They used the classic sponge recipe from the Failsafe cookbook and filled it with jam and whipped cream. The chocolate icing and lollies on top were Oscar’s idea (of course)! Classic Sponge Cake (Low… Read more

Amines, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Recipe

Yesterday was hubby’s birthday, so of course Oscar and I had a cake to make. A few weeks ago my mum reminded me about the chocolate cake recipe that I had in my Nana’s (her Mum) recipe book. Its a hand written journal of recipes that I got when she died. I used to make… Read more

I have my hubby to thank for this recipe. He has adapted the Amine Chocolate Mud Cake recipe in the Failsafe Cookbook and made these delicious cup cakes, which are surprisingly light for a mud cake, and very yummy.

Dessert, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks, Special Occasions

This cake was a staple on our elimination diet, we used it for birthday cakes and whenever we had friends or family over. I’ve always made it as a cake rather than cutting it into slices. It is quite thick and moist and is best on the day it is made, although leftovers are delicious… Read more
Zucchini and Yoghurt Cake

2 March 2011

Amines, Low Glutamates, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

This cake is very moist and has a lovely flavour. I cooked it for the full 60 minutes but had to place foil over the top for the last 10 minutes. When I cut it it appeared uncooked, but it was just the soft banana and zucchini. The recipe is adapted from Zucchini Yogurt Cake… Read more

Our garden is overflowing with zucchinis at the moment, so you will be seeing a lot of zucchini recipes in the coming weeks. This one for Carrot, zucchini and Apple Loaf I have made as both a large loaf and as mini loaves. Oscar complains about the carrot and zucchini going into it, but has… Read more
Chocolate Potato Cake

Amines, Dessert, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

The original recipe of this came from The Global Gourmet. The potatoes are used as the liquid component of the cake instead of milk, so it could be made dairy free if margarine was used instead of butter. I make this recipe with fresh potatoes as the instant mashed potatoes contain preservatives. The cake is very… Read more
