The recipe sounds very nice, BUT, I would substitute some of those ingredients...... see brackets. If you want to know why, read Eat Right Live Longer by Dr. Neal Barnard.

1/2 teasp. baking soda
1/2 teasp. cinnamon
1/8 teasp. salt (Sea Salt)
2/3 cup buttermilk or 1/3 cup milk + 1/3 cup joghurt (Soy Milk)
3 tblsp. oil
1/2 teasp. vanilla
1 cup fruit (blueberry, raspberry, strawberries etc.)
1 egg

Topping:
2 tblesp. brown sugar (1 TEASPOON cane sugar, 2TBS ground Almonds)
1 tblesp. flour
1/4 teasp. cinnamon

Sugars

Well, so far as I have been able to determine from Lee and Barnard.....if you MUST use sugar, then it has to be pure, unrefined cane. You asked about "Unrefined raw", I could be wrong, but I think that's the same as "unrefined Cane".

The brown and yellow sugars are just as bad.

Some of the info Lee gives about refined white sugar vs unrefine cane will convince most people to lay off the sugar train.

I understand that honey, maple syrup are also on the no no list.

You should get those two books, they provide so much great health info, and are easy to read.

Cheers
 
sounds good and healthy. i love coffee. but im not good at baking. but i can ask a friend to do me a favor and bake for me. thanks for the share.
 
Just remember. Low fat doesn't equal low calories. If you are trying to lose weight, don't forget moderation.

And those books you mention are just another line of vegetarian diet books. It is good for those who want to follow that lifestyle.
 
The cake sounds really yummy.. might have to try it :).
