Chocolate Cake

1.5 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 cup water
5-6 tbsp (1/3 cup) oil
1 tbsp vinegar


Mix all dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients in the order they are listed into a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and mix. Pour batter into a greased and floured pan. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove cake from oven when done and leave it in the pan.

Cheeseless Cheesecake Recipe

This cake has no cheese and no fat. The flavor of cheesecake comes from a boiled lemon, and the texture comes from a can of chickpeas. A great diet recipe, full of fibre and protein. Some sugar, but you can try cutting down or using Stevia. I always use the full sugar

As a note, ever since I saw Mario Batelli boil and orange to put into an orange cake on The Food Network, I have been boiling all my citrus fruits before using them in baking. Thanks Mario

Boil a lemon for 1/2 hour. Cool, Cut off Ends and remove seeds. You will use the whole lemon, including the rind and juice, so save it all.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a blender or food processor

The boiled lemon, (whole thing less the hard ends and seeds)
1 can chickpeas (540 ml, 19oz), drained
4 whole eggs
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder

Cream until smooth
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes

Nut Cake (Fourless) Recipe

Another super healthy dessert, full of almonds and eggs. If you substitute 1 1/2 cups of walnuts, you also have a dessert that is hight in omega-3 fatty acids.
** You need more walnuts than almonds because of the higher fat and lower fibre.

1 cup whole almonds or hazelnuts
4 eggs
3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

You need a blender for this one.

Put 4 eggs in a blender. Add the whole nuts and turn blender to grind. Remove the whole mess from the blender and add the sugar and baking powder. Bake 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.

This may smell "eggy" while baking, but no matter. The smell doesn't linger, and the cake comes out moist and wonderful.
