Free Healthy Recipe - Orange and Almond Semolina Cake
Dairy free, Low GI, Low sugarAlthough we haven't tested it, a discussion with some of the GI experts at Sydney Uni confirmed my thoughts: this cake should have a low GI. It's great for anyone managing high blood sugar levels and it's delicious. With a raft of very healthy ingredients it holds as much treat factor appeal as other less healthy cakes around. You'll love it.
