Gluten-Free, 75% Sugar Free, Bundt Pound Cake: Vanilla, Traditional, Hack Twist, (can be adapted to Dairy-Free)

Ahhh!!!! Love this!!

I come from a family of bakers. My great-grandfather Schmitt on my mom's side was a baker from Germany who owned a family bakery. He handed down his craft to my grandfather Schmitt who handed down his craft to my mother and of course then on to me. So, you can understand when I say that I am a cake snob, a donut snob and a bread snob. I will only eat the best. As my mom says, I don't want to "waste calories" on a food that is mediocre. The cake must be delicious. More than delicious, MAGNIFICENT!

Kudos and many thanks to Land-o-Lakes who posted this recipe on May 22, 2018. (www.landolakes.com/recipe) Of course, I  had to change and adapt it to become one of my favorites, however, I did use Land-o-Lakes butter. My household uses the one that is wrapped in 1/4 cup sizes.


Gluten Free Pound Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups Truvia brand white baking sugar (75% Stevia/25% Cane sugar blend)
1 cup Land O Lakes Butter, melted
4 large eggs (We used Egg-Lands Best brand)
4 teaspoons of gluten-free vanilla
1 cup milk (We used ultra-filtered 2% for this recipe.)
3 cups Gluten-Free Baking Flour, Bob's Red Mill brand (Because it is mill so fine and soft. Not grainy.)
2 tsp baking soda
Directions: 
  1. Heat oven to 350˚F. Spray 12-cup Bundt pan with butter flavored cooking oil. Flour pan lightly with g-f flour.
  2. Combine Truvia baking sugar and melted butter in bowl. (I use a home version of the Cuisinart mixer.) Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition, (very important). Add vanilla; beat until well mixed.
  3. Stir together g-f flour blend and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the well-blended wet ingredients slowly, while alternating, flour, then milk, flour, then milk, until all ingredients are used and well blended. 
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Even batter with a spatula. 
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (60 minutes worked well for us.) 
  6. Cool 10 minutes.
  7. Put pan upside down on cooling rack. Remove from pan.
Powdered Sugar Icing (Optional)


Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
¹⁄₃ cup milk

Directions:
  1. Mix ingredients to preferred taste and consistency until well blended. (We prefer a thinner consistency)
  2. Poke several holes in the top of the bundt cake with a toothpick. (The holes allow for the icing to seep into the cake adding a little moisture and flavoring.)
  3. Spoon icing over cake until covered as well as you would like.
Serving Tips

We served pound cake topped with 4 cups of seasonal strawberries that were tossed with ¹⁄₃ cup Truvia white baking sugar blend, and Halo Top brand strawberry ice cream. (Halo Top is also sugar-free. If you are lactose intolerant or dairy-free, they have an ice cream made with coconut milk.)

We know you will love it as much as our family does. 

Have a Happy Health-a-licious Day!

Sugar Cravings, Detox and More

So my hubby was selected by his company to be a lead in a certain group which meant he would be traveling for 4 days. Perfect, I thought. I will only eat vegies or fruit, and drink coffee, tea or water. My fav foods are vegies and fruit. I know I need protein so I eat it, but if I didn't have to I wouldn't eat it everyday. I love, vegies, fruit and desert. In fact one of my fav meals is a huge vegie plate and a pint of Hagen Daaz Gelato. So...I decided to do a detox while my hubby was out of town. $72.00 for what I felt was 4 days worth of fruits and vegetables. I did the detox. Only water, coffee or tea. Only vegetables or fruits. No sauces, no sugars, no condiments except herbs and spices. Every day about 3p, I started getting a headache. I would eat a piece of fruit. That wouldn't help. I decided after those 3 days that I am addicted to sugar. So I am now working my way to be sugar free with the exception of fruits. The holidays are proving challenging because of f...

Gluten-Free Organic Snacking

I love to snack. Ha ha ha ha. It's an uphill climb. I love to snack. It makes me a merrier me. (Sing to the tune of "I love to laugh" from the movie Merry Poppins) I also love pretzels. My fav is pretzels dipped in salsa. Yummy. I could almost eat an entire bag at a time. I found these amazing pretzels from Glutino. Gluten-free, egg-free, milk-free, casein-free. Completely delicious. Salty, crunchy. I ate an entire half bag today. I have eaten 3 bags in 3 weeks. One for each week I have been gluten-free. My husband has decided he loves them too and so do my folks. So much so we had to have 3 bags at the house just in case we feel like snacking. There is a new yogurt out that is a dip. My fav is cucumber and dill. So yummy on those amazing Glutino Pretzels. I am also digging grapes. My new fav fruit snack. Here's the kicker. I went to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne is known to be a product and advertising test market because of it's Americana demographic...

Gluten-Free Family Casseroles

Over the last 8 months, I had come to realize that casseroles were off limits for we gluten-free eaters. Most casseroles contain some type of crackers, bread crumbs or soup that contains gluten as a base to keep the casserole consistency and coherence adding tasty flavor in the process. My husband, in a constant search of foods that I will like or eat, came across a recipe book called, of all things, Casseroles. Many of the recipes in the book call for gluten ingredients, tortillas, corn bread mix, cream of chicken soup, etc. Combing through the book he found a few casserole recipes that ask for Tator Tots. Clearly not a sophisticated ingredient, but a tasty one non-the-less. We tried this recipe last night. It is definitely a naughty dish because it is delicious. We decided to use an already made chili, but our next attempt at the recipe will be with homemade chili. Chili Tots 1lb ground beef           ...
