This is a variation of the previous post of Foolproof paleo coconut cake with Stevia & Easy coconut rum cup cakes with Stevia, for this version I used orange juice.
This cake is great for anyone who is a big fan of coconut, it has a real holiday type taste to it with it's zestiness.

Have you just recently discovered Stevia sweetener, you are unsure how you will be able to make great tasting cakes that are sugar free and turn out to be edible?
I can help, the main thing that you need to understand is that the volume of Sugar in any recipe you want to make needs to be replaced with something else, otherwise you will end up with a dry, solid lump.
This sponge base is a great base recipe to start many baking adventures from. Make sugar free gateaux or muffins, cupcakes or sheet cakes the sky is the limit.
You can decorate it with Coconut mana like I have done in the image above or try my lactose and sugar free "Butter-free Buttercream" made with Coconut oil and natural stevia-sweet extract, good for the gut and the soul. Not too heavy or sweet. Add fruit or nuts and seeds as topping.

The high content of potassium, calcium and zinc is striking, alongside a low sodium content, makes the pumpkin a great tool for combating high blood pressure as well as bladder and kidney problems.
The pumpkin I used looked like a flying flower shaped saucer, the flavour was very mild to non existent.
Lets look at the recipe, I cooked...
