Strawberry Cake Recipe With Unsweetened Cream

Most people always look forward to the most delicious part of meals: desserts. However, most of them are loaded with artificial sugars, calories and carbohydrates that are harmful to the body. In this article, you will learn about a recipe for a strawberry cake with unsweetened cream.

Sugar-free recipes have become popular as a healthy option for people suffering from diabetes, overweight or obesity. Although many ignore this fact, regular consumption of this substance is associated with health problems.

For this reason, both bakeries and the food industry as a whole changed many of their products, eliminating this element. Also, many homemade recipes have been modified to no longer include this ingredient. Today, we share a delicious sugar-free strawberry cake.

Strawberry cake with unsweetened cream

Research published in the journal  Nutrition states that strawberry is a food with a high content of essential nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals that apparently exert an important biological activity on human health. Specifically, this fruit provides:

• Vitamin C
• Potassium
• Folic acid
• Manganese
• dietary fiber
• Vitamin E
• Magnesium

In addition, a study published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition highlights its content of phytochemicals such as ellagic acid, anthocyanins, quercetin and catechin, which also promote health.

Despite this, it is necessary to consider that the availability of these nutrients can vary according to the form of consumption of the food. Therefore, it will not be the same in this recipe. Still, this is a healthy option for those who want to enjoy a dessert and take care of their health at the same time.

However, we suggest consulting a nutritionist before introducing these desserts into the diet, especially in cases of diabetes or special conditions. In addition, we recommend that consumption be moderated so as not to exceed the daily caloric intake.
