Is it possible to prepare a healthy homemade sponge cake (no sugar, no milk, no gluten, no egg, no allergens …)? “Yes you can, although many do not believe it. You just have to know what ingredients to use and how to integrate them into the dough”, explains Chef Virginia Garcia, who has just launched the online course “Healthy biscuits”.
Through this course, the chef shows that it is possible to prepare delicious healthy homemade cakes suitable for people with intolerances or allergies, vegans or, in general, concerned about their health.
HEALTHY BISCUITS: THE BEST KEPT SECRET
In the online course “Healthy biscuits”, Virginia Garcia serves up the precise formulas on a tray to achieve healthy biscuit dough’s without the main allergens.
Throughout the history of cooking it has been shown – even scientifically in centers such as the Plaxo research laboratories in England – that baking is a fairly exact science and that the physicochemical formation of desserts leaves little room for improvisation. . That is, the proportions of ingredients and the way in which they are included in a cake can easily ruin it.
Therefore, preparing cakes without eggs, gluten-free cakes or cakes without sugar or milk can be difficult. However, this leading chef, who considers herself an explorer of plant-based gastronomy, has investigated new ways to treat sponge dough and has achieved what many thought impossible: creating healthy sponge cake recipes that turn out to be delicious. And we are in luck because he has decided to reveal the keys and formulas to achieve it through the new course “Healthy biscuits” at the Cuerpomente School.

Not at all: it’s very easy (if you know the formula to achieve it, of course). “Many people find it inconceivable to make cakes without eggs or dairy. But you can! And in this course I go much further. I have been adding complexity to each of the dough that I show until I get biscuits that, in addition to being vegan, do not contain the main allergens that usually cause problems (gluten, soy, nuts …) ”, explains Garcia.
