Instead, there was usually a plate of diced melon, sliced apples, and peeled oranges. Now that I know what goes into most cakes\u2014loads of sugar and, if it\u2019s from a box, likely a number of preservatives as well\u2014I understand better why she refused to listen to my wishes. (Mom was magical in other ways.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\">Here is a cake that you can feel really great about making for your family. It\u2019s sweetened with honey, has a velvety tender crumb, and the frosting is just sweet enough without being over-the-top. You feel good after eating it. Almost as good as if you had eaten a plate of fruit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\">(For a terrific gluten-free alternative for this cake, instead of 1 \u00bd cups all-purpose flour, try substituting \u00bd cup sorghum flour, plus \u00bd cup sweet rice flour, plus \u00bd cup potato starch. Thanks to Laura, who tried this version and deemed it the best gluten-free cake she\u2019s ever tasted!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was a kid, I daydreamed that I\u2019d come home from school and, magically, my mom would turn into one of those mothers who would be lavishly frosting a &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17,19,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cream","category-ice","category-summer-cake"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marycarmenalvarez.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
