Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

This gluten free recipe has 387 calories, 6g of protein, and 21g of fat per serving. This recipe from Foodista has 2 fans. If you have sucanat, arrowroot flour, eggs, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Winter. Overall, this recipe earns a rather bad spoonacular score of 23%.

Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Dessert. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter/grease a 9-10 cake pan.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the sucanat, cardamom, pumpkin spice blend, and cinnamon. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the spiced sugar to top the cake at the very end; add the rest to the butter. Cream together the butter, maple syrup, and two tbsp of the spiced sucanat with a mixer, scraping down the sides of the bowl, for about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat to incorporate each egg.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, sift together the coconut, arrowroot, and almond flours, and the baking powder, and salt. Add half of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir on low until just combined. Add the coconut cream and vanilla, and mix on low until just combined. Finally, add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The mixture will be quite thick.
  5. Now, cut the pears off of their cores. Slice up one cup of medium sized pear cubes, and cut the rest of the pears into 1/2 wedges. Drizzle the lemon juice over the wedges to preserve them; Fold the pear cubes into the batter and transfer the batter to the greased cake pan.
  6. Take the pear wedges and fan them out around the cake, or create your own design if you like! Press them into the batter a little bit so that some of the batter comes through. Sprinkle the leftover 2 tbsp spiced sugar over the top of the cake.
  7. Bake the cake until a toothpick comes out just barely clean, about 35-50 minutes (Varies depending on the oven).
  8. This cake is perfect with coffee, with breakfast, for afternoon snack, or for dessert!
  9. Enjoy!
