The luxury of a good home baked cake

via Daily Prompt: Luxury

Yes food is a luxury, especially home cooked, good for health kind of food. Most people have forgotten the art of cooking from scratch.

Well I make home baked cakes the good old style from scratch. No self raising flour and no pre-mixes either. I make use of all the measuring cups that people hardly have use for any longer.

What’s the benefit?

My cakes have all the good nutrition in them. I selectively add high quality fruit like black currents which are very good for health and the antioxidants found in blue/black foods are very effective against many of the common diseases we face today. Figs are another ingredient I use most of the time. Freeze dried strawberries, raisins, dates, cashew nuts and walnuts are my main ingredients. You can check the health benefits of each one online and you’ll come up with astounding insight and knowledge.

When you learn how bad it is for you, you’ll never eat commercial iced cakes again.Now most commercial bakeries have thick layers of icing in between and very little cake. The.propylene glycol

Just imagine what all those chemicals are doing to you. Propylene glycol does not cancer, but it causes skin problems like eczema, liver and kidney damage. This is just for health awareness only. Homemade whipped cream icing or icing made of good ol’ icing sugar is he right kind of icing one should indulge in. Do not mistake the propylene glycol icing as whipped cream…
