Unsweetened carob and walnut cake

Have you seen what a beautiful color the cake has today? I have to admit that it is a bit special and it does not look like the ones we have done so far. It looks like chocolate but it is actually a carob and walnut sponge cake without sugar.

The carob o carob flour, which is actually a legume, has a slightly sweet taste and has been traditionally used as chocolate substitute. And, the truth is that it works very well because the appearance is the same as if we had made it with cocoa.

The carob has very good qualities and it will help us, among other things, to fight free radicals, strengthen bones and teeth, regulate intestinal transit, combat fatigue or reduce blood glucose levels.

Also the cake is done sin azúcar which diabetics will appreciate. To give it the sweet touch we have added dates, so for this recipe I advise you to use them of good quality. The ones I like the most are medjools because they are soft and sweet like a candy.

By the way, the carob sponge cake without sugar is also suitable for celiacs.

You can also make this cake with regular flour. You just have to replace the gluten free flour by pastry flour and follow the same steps and time but remember that, in this case, it will not be suitable for celiacs or gluten intolerant.

      Could you tell me the calories in the preparation or per serving?

      1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

        Hello:
        The whole cake has about 2600 kcal. It is designed for about 8 servings, so each serving would be about 330 kcal.

    Clarify that the recipe indicates that if we do not have gluten-free flour, it can be substituted for wheat flour. NOT CORRECT FOR HEAVENLY. Precisely what is prohibited in a gluten-free diet is wheat, rye, oats ... It can be substituted for cornstarch which is corn flour or rice flour. Thanks

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Yes, yes ... what celiacs can eat or not eat is clear to me.
      My idea was to encourage those who have a normal diet to prepare this cake and not to discard it for the simple fact of bringing gluten-free flour, but I was wrong.
      It is already modified so that there is no error.
      Thank you!!

      I hope people are encouraged to make it and enjoy different ingredients.

    Thank you very much for this cake recipe sweetened only with dates, I recently had the thermomix and it is very difficult to find recipes sweetened only with the sweetness of dried fruits. One question, as my son does not like to find pieces to introduce the dates in the recipe, what would it be like? Could you hydrate the dates with the milk itself and then beat all the liquids well to make it like a cream and then mix it with the eggs already beaten with the butterfly? And why are liquids and solids being mixed in several steps? is it to make it fluffier? or could it be mixed in one step? Again, thank you very much

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Hi Muriel:
      Have you tried the date paste recipe? ... I think it will be very useful.

      https://www.thermorecetas.com/pasta-de-datiles/

      And on the question of why they are mixed in several steps, yes, it is to make you fluffier. It is important to beat the eggs well, which are the ones that will add air to the dough.
      In addition, the powdered ingredients are first mixed to sift them. Thus we save having to stain utensils.

      Regards!

    Rectea tangled to do with tmx, it is faster to do a manual.
    To optimize the machine, the mode / order of mixing should be changed and the ingredients introduced into the tmx.
    In addition, the raw dough is very dense and caked, impossible to remove it from the glass without smearing it, a lot of dough is wasted.

    1.    Mayra Fernandez Joglar said

      Hi Magda,
      First of all tell you that everyone can make the cake as they want. Personally, I don't even think about doing it by hand because I use Thermomix for everything.

      In this cake we use the machine both to prepare the ingredients and to beat the dough. In this way in step 4, for example, we sift the powdered ingredients and thus you save staining a sieve or strainer. And when it comes to chopping the nuts, it is much faster to do it with the machine than with any other system.

      But what has been said, everyone who uses the method they want.

      What does worry me is what you say that the dough has become caked on you. The truth is that I published this recipe for a long time and I do not remember exactly what the texture is like, but with the indicated amount of vegetable milk, oil and eggs you should not have a problem. Next time check that the machine is properly seated because I think it was a scale problem.

      Regards!
