Zesty orange coconut cake – gluten and sugar free

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.

Ginger cream cake with  caramelized honey almond crust

Ginger cream cake with caramelized honey almond crust

  This cake was the birthday cake for my friend who is totally addicted to ginger honey yoghurt. I know I normally bake without Honey or Sugar but in this case Honey is essential to get the nice almond crust. I have tried making caramelised crusts with Stevia-granuels before which worked fine but since I am trying to replicate the Honey-Ginger Yoghurt idea - honey it was. Makes: small 15cm diameter cake Prep time: 25 min Cooking: 28min + 15-20min for crust Cooling time: 60-120min   Cake base: Ingredients: 6 medium separated eggs 50g melted Butter 80g Almond flour 1tsp (flat) ground Ginger sprinkle of ground Vanilla 1/4tsp Baking powder 1-2  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 hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or tabs (need to be dissolved too), adding more is easier than diluting – you could end up with a huge amount of...

Mini black forest layer birthday cakes, gluten and sugar free with stevia

Mini black forest layer birthday cakes, gluten and sugar free with stevia

This years home made birthday cake is based on one of my favourite gateaux's from my child hood. We had no family celebrations without this traditional cake from south germany. I have used the quick and easy moist sponge roulade base recipe and adapted it to be made with cocoa to form the base of my little black forrest layer cakes. This cake actually nearly never happened. I started with cracking the eggs and the 2nd last one of 6 was kind of rotten which I could only see once it had dripped into the already separated egg whites. I thought not problem I have another 6 eggs. I started over on collecting the egg whites and bam just when I nearly had it another wonky egg. I have never had doggy eggs in my entire live - how luck am I? My husband felt very guilty, he had picked those eggs up from the farm just a couple of days back. The lovely...

Stevia sweetened Dominostones

Stevia sweetened Dominostones

  A Dominostein (plural Dominosteine) is a german christmas sweet. The base consists of Lebkuchen, next is a layer of sour cherry or apricot jelly and a layer of marzipan, cube scone is covered with a thin layer of dark chocolate. When looking into the ingredients for this recipe I found out that the Dominostein was invented in 1936 by Herbert Wendler in Dresden. The layered praline was targeted for a broader audience because of a cheaper price than the other products of Wendler's praline factory. During the scarcity of food during World War II the Dominostein gained popularity as a replacement praline. It is still popular as a must have Christmas sweet in stockings and on Christmas When looking into the ingredients for this recipe I found out that the Dominostein was invented in 1936 by Herbert Wendler in Dresden. The layered praline was targeted for a broader audience because of a cheaper price than the other products of Wendler's praline factory. During the scarcity of food during...

Strawberry Butter-cream ice candy (sugar free, silky smooth & ketogenic) or Bulletproof Coffee/ Cocoa ice cream

Do you like ice cream? Feel like the only ice cream worth heaving is italian ice cream from the gelateria? You tried numerous home ice cream methods but they go rock solid and by the time you can get the spoon in the stuff is a soggy puddle of liquid again? Don't despair, I may have a solution for you. This recipe makes creamy ice cream you can make at home. This version is based on a butter cream with fresh strawberries blended in. I made little ice cream candies in a ice cube mould. Don't like strawberries in ice cream, try Bulletproof Coffee/ Cocoa ice creams, as mini bite ice-candies or as ice pops. Don't know why Bulletproof coffee is special and health promoting because it does is processed to give you a low-toxin bean? Get the low down here. Once the strawberry version was set I decided since many people think chocolate and strawberries are a good fit, i covered a few frozen...
