Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup dark raisins or cranberries (both are high fodmap, but not in small amounts such as a slice of cake)
  • 2 tsps cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp fresh grated nutmeg or 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract never never use artificial vanilla, or a snake comes and bites you
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsps water
  • 2 cups all purpose flour or King Arthur Measure for Measure GF Flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Directions:
  • *Preheat oven to 325° F
  • Spray a 9" x 13" or 9" x 9" baking tin with oil and then flour the tin all over before knocking out the flour. Set the pan aside.
  • Combine sugar, water, oil, raisins and spices in a bowl. Stir well to mix.
  • Pour the mixture into a 1 qt saucepan,
    bring to a boil. and boil for three minutes. Stir constantly so the mixture does not burn. I know it's boring to stir constantly, but the minute you turn away, it will boil over on you. See it boiling in the picture and see my spoon stirring away? That's exactly what you want. After three minutes of stirring and boiling, you can take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Using a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda and salt in the two teaspoons of water. Stir to mix and then add this mixture to the raisin mixture cooling in your saucepan. It will foam up. Not to worry. Just stir it all together. The mixture will foam. Do not be afraid. (ha ha)
  • *Place the two cups of flour, the teaspoon of baking powder, and teaspoon of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the raisin mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a spoon or spatula until it is well mixed and no streaks or patches of flour remain on the underside of the bowl.
  • Then, pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Place it in the oven and bake it at 325° F for 55 minutes for a 9" square pan. 30 to 35 for a 9 x 13, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • *Cool the cake on a rack *for at least ten minutes before serving it.
  • Here is the finished version of low fodmap spice cake
    topped with dairy free whipped cream.
