I made a birthday cake for my dad the other day. I started baking two days in advance, because I wanted to find a lowcarb alternative that was really yummy. I succeded, if I may say so myself, it was absolutely delicious and NOONE would have guessed that the cake had no flour, nor sugar (part from a minimal amount of vanilla sugar)
This is how I did it, by changing some recipes I found at Kolhydrater i Fokus
50g butter, (whip this together with)
2 egg yolkes
1 organic vanilla pod (scape out the seeds of the pod)
4.5 pieces of dark chocolate (melt it in the microwave, I used 70% cocoa chocolate)
100ml whipping cream (pour it in together with the seeds and chocolate)
120g almonds (mixed it to "flour")
1/2 tsp baking powder
Put it in the oven ca 15 min at 175C.
I did 3 of these for the "spounge cake" for the cake.
To the first layer of the cake I mashed raspberries.
For the 2nd layer I did a vanilla creme:
500g mascarpone cheese
4 egg yolks
1.5 tsp organic vanilla sugar (Can just as well use vanilla pod here as well)
Then I covered the cake in well whipped cream and decorated with raspberries.
