Apple Cardamom Pound Cake- low histamine, gluten free, dairy-free, vegan, corn free
My baby boy wanted an apple cake for his birthday, and cardamom is more suitable for his low-histamine diet than cinnamon, so voilà! It is a pleasant autumn flavor that nods to the season almost upon us. The dense cake is full of juicy apple chunks and it is so enjoyable to eat warm with the sweet maple cream icing mixing with the vanilla frozen dessert. As for the decorations....my 4 year old wanted a space theme (obviously) but rejected the number 4 for a 100 atop his cake because that is his favorite number. My husband pointed out, however, that 100 still represents the number 4 in binary language. So, it works, I guess 😳! Tip: If you want the cake to retain the softness it comes out the oven with, seal in the moisture by covering every inch of it in the maple cream icing and leave at room temperature on the day of serving at a party. Since we are following a low histamine diet for health reasons, we throw the cake (what is left after immediately eating) into the freezer and nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds when we want another serving.
Nutty Rooty Macaroni- low histamine, gluten free, dairy-free, corn free
We don’t miss the cheesy taste that nutritional yeast brings after eating this macaroni dish full of complex flavor- roots and nuts for the win! Of course you can substitute dried for fresh spices as needed, we were just lucky to find fresh turmeric root at the grocery store this week. I’mein planning on adding thinly sliced pork belly to the sheet pan next time I do this recipe !
Ollie’s Handy Maple Cakes- low histamine, gluten free, dairy-free, vegan, corn free
My boy loves maple syrup, but not that it is sticky! These have enough maple in them to satisfy his sweet tooth, and allow him to walk around with them. He calls them maple “cookies.” They are soft, sweet and have a satisfying chew. I was inspired to create this after reading chocolatecoveredkatie.com’s pancake recipe.
