  • 3rd Finish with baking powder.

FUNCTIONAL CARROT CAKE

We say that a food is functional when it brings health benefits and serves not only to satisfy hunger, but rather to nourish your body.

It is worth remembering that even if the cake has healthier ingredients, it is still a recipe for eat in moderation, without overdoing it.

Many people confuse gluten-free recipes and think they are recipes for weight loss.

But Only a nutritionist can adapt a meal plan for you to lose weight.

As a guide you can use the nutritional table which is below the recipe, where you can see the calories, carbohydrates, proteins and fiber.

In this blender carrot cake recipe, the two nutritious flours that will be used are amaranth and quinoa flour.

See below the benefits of these two ingredients:

  • Amaranth: It is rich in fiber, protein, minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium, and 7 essential amino acids (lysine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, and valine.
  • Quinoa: It is rich in fiber, protein, iron, zinc, magnesium and B vitamins (B3, B5, B6 and B9)

All these nutrients add more health and nutrition to your diet, so why not eat a fluffy carrot cake with these benefits?

GLUTEN-FREE, LACTOSE-FREE, FLUFFY CARROT CAKE FROM A BLENDER

For this recipe we will use the combination of 3 gluten-free flours, amaranth flour, quinoa flour and sweet cassava starch.

Amaranth and quinoa help in structure of the dough and the sweet cassava starch provides more league for the recipe.

For the creamy topping, which is traditionally made with condensed milk or cow's milk, you will need plant-based milk and 100% cocoa.

Even using gluten-free and lactose-free ingredients, this fluffy carrot cake recipe is very similar to the traditional.

It is worth remembering that both amaranth and quinoa have a aftertaste, amaranth is somewhat reminiscent of corn and quinoa has a slight bitterness.

But if you buy these flours from reputable distributors they will not have a strong flavor.

That's why I say that the flavor of these ingredients in the recipe is practically imperceptible, you will eat the cake and it will look like the traditional one with wheat.

Always look for health food stores that have a good turnover of customers, so the products are always fresh.
