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. You can also do it withe lemon juice but you want to mix it with water to avoid it being too zesty.   Makes: 26cm diameter flat cake 5cm deep (or 11-12 cup cakes) Prep time: 10 min Cooking: 40min Cooling time: 60-120min   Ingredients: 6 medium eggs 100g Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1 60g melted Coconut oil (or Butter) 237g Orange juice (other fruit juices may work too) sprinkle of ground Vanilla 37g Almond flour 36g Coconut flour 170g Unsweetened desiccated Coconut 3g  Baking powder For lemon juice version: 75g water plus 105g lemon juice   Instructions: pre-heat oven to 180 degree celsius Beat the egg with the Stevia-sweet Baking Granules 1:1 and Vanilla mix  in the melted cooled oil until creamy add the orange juice beat until combined mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl (sift the coconut flour) add the dry ingredients to the creamy egg mix,...

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...

Uhh - I haven't had one of these in a decade so I though why not make one quickly. I replaced the traditional yeast cake base with a biscuit sponge base which much quicker to make, no waiting for the dough to rise, it also give it a slightly lighter base which I sweetened with  natural zero calorie stevia sweetener ; this saves some of the empty calories that the sugar would normally add. For the filling, I used stiff whipped whipping cream  mixed with one 3rd thick vanilla custard pudding which I also sweetened with stevia-sweet. The only thing I could not make sugar free was...
