I made some cakes yesterday using ground almonds instead of flour and Truvia/Stevia instead of sugar.
Fairy Cakes (makes 12, 0.1 carb content, 85 Calories (each cake)
Ingredients
2 Eggs
90 grams Ground Almonds
110 grams of Stevia/Truvia
1 tablespoon of Milk
10 grams Baking Powder
60 grams of butter
Mix butter & Stevia together until light & fluffy (goes a pale colour)
Beat 2 eggs together in a separate jug
Slowly beat the eggs gradually into the mixture
Add ground almonds & baking powder into the mixture gradually
Add 1 tablespoon of milk
Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are mixed together, don't worry if it's a bit lumpy.
Divide evenly into 12 baking cases
Cook in centre of the oven at 180deg Centigrade until golden brown (approximately 15 minutes)
I would have liked to have ended up with a bit more mixture, so maybe next time I would add more ground almonds and an extra egg. If anybody else has a go and "tweaks" the recipe I'd be interested to know the results.
