Yeast Free Poppy Seed Cake – Candida Diet Recipe

This poppy seed cake was delicious. There is a bit of prep work to do as you have to soak the poppy seeds in soy milk for about 4-6 hours so plan accordingly. I noticed this recipe in Gail Burton’s Candida Control Cookbook a long time ago and always said that I would try it one day. I figured there was not better time the present and went out to get poppy seeds which I did not have. Poppy seeds are a little pricey and the recipe calls for a whole lot of them so this is not something I would like to reserve for special occasions. The recipe does recommend a pecan custard topping but I was not comfortable with all of the ingredients required to make this topping and I was not confident on how to substitute them. I will search for an adequate topping and save this for special occasions.
Yeast Free Poppy Seed Cake Ingredients
1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup poppy seeds
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup arrowroot powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup clarified butter
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring no alcohol (I use frontier brand found in many health food stores)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup stevia extract (I use the Stevia SweetLeaf Powder Extract)

I was really excited about making this recipe but noticed that you do not have an amount for the poppy seeds to be added. These ingredients cost a lot of money and the recipe should be corrected going forward. I also think that the stevia extract meaning should be clarified – is it powder or liquid?
Hi Maria, I apologize for the incomplete recipe. You are very right these ingredients are pricey as I remember how much it ran me last time I made it. I would not want you to buy the wrong things. I have updated the recipe and hope that this helps. I use the stevia extract powder Sweet Leaf brand. I found this in the health food store along with the non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of poppy seeds. I hope that you enjoy the cake. Be well, Tennille
