Pear Crumble Cake, sugar free and gluten free

This is a great pear cake with crumbles on top. The crumbles are crunchy even thought they don't have any sugar in them at all, instead I use Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1. You can use any type of  fruit for this recipe, berries, apples, plums etc. A nice and quick go to cake that never lasts long in my house.   Makes:  14cm wide cake ring or cake pan Prep time: 25 min Cooking: 55min at 180 degree celsius pre heated oven (middle shelf)   For the batter you need: 1-2 fresh Pears  (cut into slices for decorating the batter before baking) 4 eggs  Medium ( egg white beaten stiff separately) 80g Almond flour / ground almonds - mixed ground nuts work too. 40g Coconut flour 40g Coconut oil or Butter melted 1/2 tsp Cinnamon sprinkle of Nutmeg 6 tbsp  lemons juice 1/2 tbsp baking powder 1-3  knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on...

  This is a great zesty plumb cake with crumbles on top, it is similar to the apple sauce cake. The crumbles are crunchy even thought they don't have any sugar in them at all, instead I use Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1.

Did you notice that along all the foot path around the country the bramble bushes a loaded with blackberries? Most of us do not realise that there is still free food growing wild  in off the beaten path.

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

Leftover Fruit bowl, crumble sugar free, with porridge oat base

Then there is the chance that it is very sour which also seems to put me off. Last time I had to turn my Kiwis into something to get them eaten, I made the Kiwi Coconut Truffels, all refreshing and just right for summer season. Now that the days have started to get darker, my body calls for warmer and starchier desserts like crumble and pies.   Last sunday my craving for  a sweet treat needed dealing...
