choc cake

[sunny]

I made a choc cake yesterday with ground pecans in place of flour....it actually was very good. My DH and I were so surprised we just looked at each other in utter amazement!! Finally a sugar free/flour free goodie that tastes good. YIPPEE!!!!

sounds good Sunny-----I would be Xtatic just to be able to *smell* the aroma of things!!!

It appears,starting about a year ago(I think) I began to lose my taste buds --also the ability to *smell* the aroma of stuff----
I,especially miss my perkin!!!!

So when I eat---nothing is really enjoyable---

I shall shut my *iiiiiiii's* and try to imagine the aroma---

Barbara-
Yes, enjoying food is all about taste and smell. I'm so sorry that you've lost both senses. I've heard that some of the nose sprays for colds can take them away.

Sunny-
I'm glad you're finding some success with baking. GF baking can be very frustrating at first. The pecan flour not only sounds delicious, but also nutritious.

Hi Sunny,

Great news! Are you going to post the recipe in the Recipe Forum? What did you use instead of sugar......fruit juice or honey? Did you grind up your own pecans?

I have made a good banana bread using almond flour.

Love,

Polly

Yes, I did grind my own pecans in my cuisiinart...in fact, everthing went in the food processor and zip zip and it was in the pan. I used powdered splenda.

Will post the recipe in the recipe section.
