vegetable shortening: is it legal?

[Guest guest]

Hi, anyone know if something like Crisco is SCD legal? I couldn't find palm oil

shortening in the store and we can't do dairy at all so butter is out as a

substitute in recipes. I searched the archives and I didn't notice any mention

in

the book either so I thought I'd pose the question here.

Also, anyone have any recommendations on a really tasty SCD cake recipe

that they've personally had experience with? My dd's 2nd bday party is

coming up and I'd love to hear what others have had success with, since I

don't have a lot of time for trial and error navigating recipes I've never tried

before.

Thanks!

Hi Claire,

How about coconut oil? I tried it awhile ago - it hardens when it's

not near heat so it's like shortening, I guess. I never baked alot

before now so I don't know much about shortening.

I have never made a cake on SCD so I can't help there, sorry.

Hi ,

I didn't think of coconut oil, but that is definitely something I'll try, since

it is

solid at room temp unlike other oils -- thanks!

I favorite is the Peanut Butter Cake on the Pecanbread website:

We used it last year for our ds's birthday and I use it a lot for

cupcakes.
