Healthy Gluten-Free Rose Pistachio Chocolate Cake is the recipe today. Healthy because no refined flour and no refined sugar are used in the making of this delicious cake. For the fat, I have just used 2 tablespoons of butter. Yet, I managed to win on the gooey texture, very similar to a fudge cake.
If you are like me (Punjabi types) who look forward to something sweet after a meal. And at the same time, you are trying to control your intake of calories. You must consider giving a try to this recipe. This is one of my favourite indulgences too.
As a friend, I must tell you, Healthy does not mean, that you can overindulge. Healthy means, the food you are consuming have some nutritional value along with the calories. The junk food is often referred as empty calories… Every food we consume has calories….. so Be conscious…
For the flour, I have used a healthy gluten-free flour with the name Kwik mix. It’s a Gluten-Free, Protein-Rich, Healthy flour. The flour is a mix of —
- Banana flour – is a probiotic, high in RS -2 starch, ideal for diabetics n celiac patients.
- Jowar flour – high in proteins, dietary fibre, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus.
- Brown rice flour – high in magnesium; good for the heart, aids digestion, helps circulation
- Tapioca flour – aids digestion, helps circulation.
The recipe is very easy to prepare. This is a picture for your reference, to see the consistency of the prepared cake batter.
