Tipps

Using Rice Flour

Rice flour is a great low histamine alternative to traditional wheat flour. It gives the cake a light and airy texture. Make sure to get a brand that doesn't have any added ingredients that could trigger histamines.

Choosing Almond Milk

Opt for unsweetened, additive-free almond milk. It's a good low-histamine alternative to regular milk. However, everyone's tolerance is different, so make sure it suits your dietary needs.

Selecting Olive Oil

Choose extra virgin olive oil if possible, as it's typically lower in histamines. It's also a healthier option due to its monounsaturated fat content.

Vanilla Extract

Go for pure vanilla extract and avoid any imitation or artificially flavored versions, as these could contain additives that might increase histamine levels.

Sweetening with Sugar

Granulated sugar is typically well-tolerated on a low-histamine diet. However, if you're also watching your sugar intake, you could consider a low-histamine sweetener alternative like maple syrup, adjusting the quantity to taste.

Egg Safety

Use the freshest eggs possible as older eggs can have higher histamine levels. If you're sensitive to eggs, you could try a low-histamine egg substitute like a 'chia egg' or 'flax egg'.

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftover cake, it's best to store it in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours to prevent any histamine build-up.
