Sugar free almond cake

Another recipe with leftover egg yolks. This time "Sugar free almond cake". :)

Although it doesn't have the rich sweetness from sugar, the almond powder and butter is enough to give this sugar free cake a moreish taste.

In fact..., I baked them before dinner and they were all gone after dinner... Hum, greedy greedy... ;D

Ingredients:

Flour 75g

Almond powder 15g

Sweetner 3tbsp

Baking powder 1 tsp

Egg yolk 2

Egg 1

Butter (melted) 100g

Vanilla extract 1tsp

1. Preheat the oven to 180º.

2. Beat egg yolk and egg until it's light and fluffy.

3. Mix in melted butter and vanilla extract into 2.

4. Fold flour, baking powder and almond powder into 3.

5. Pour the mixture into cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Sugar free cupcake

Yesterday, we were invited to Steve's for BBQ and I brought the cupcake family with us...

This time they were sugar free. Although I'm still experimenting the sugar free cake recipes and these weren't  quite 100% "THE" one yet, I think (or at least I want to think...) it is getting closer to what I want.

So..., here is how they were this time...

My :-) points..., the cakes were risen perfectly. The taste of mixed spices did work. The cherry nose gave a nice accent.
My :-( points..., the texture was still not as moist as I want. It could have been sweeter...

Just to share my experimental recipe...

Ingredients;

Flour 100g

Artificial sweetener 1/2 cup

Butter 50g

Cream cheese 50g

Egg 2

Baking powder 1 tsp

Mixed spice 1/2 tsp

Vanilla extract 1 tsp

---

Cream cheese and sweetener (For decoration)

1. Pre heat the oven to 180ºc. Cream butter, sweetener and cream cheese together.

2. Add eggs and vanilla extract into 1, and mix well.

3. Sift flour, baking powder, and mixed spices into 2. Fold in.

4. Pour the mixture into cupcake moulds. Put cherry in the middle. Bake in the preheated oven (180ºc) for 30 minutes.

5. Mix cream cheese and sweetener and decorate the cupcakes as you like....

Well, well, well..., I hope I will get the "Wow" moment with my sugar free recipes... Until then, my experiment continues...

PS. Steve... Thank you for the lovely Sunday BBQ... ;)
