Low Sugar Lemon Drizzle Cake
Makes 8 servings
You can have your cake and eat it too with this healthier sugar-free version of an old favourite. Best eaten on the day.
75g measure for measure sugar substitute (1/3 cup)
3 large free range eggs
the finely grated zest of one un-waxed lemon
1/2 tsp lemon extract
75g plain flour (1/2 cup, plus 1 TBS)
1/2 tsp baking powder
For the drizzle:
the juice of half a lemon
2 TBS measure for measure sugar substitute
Preheat the oven to 170*C/325*F/ gas mark 3. Lightly butter an 8 inch diameter non-stick fluted ring cake mold. Set aside.
Measure the eggs into a bowl along with the sweetener. Beat on high for about 5 minutes, until very thick, creamy and light in colour. When you lift the beaters, the mixture should fall back in a ribbon. Fold in the lemon zest and extract. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Carefully fold this into the egg mixture just to combine. Pour into the prepared cake tin and level off.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly touched. Allow to stand in the cake tin for about 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Whisk together your drizzle ingredients and spoon them over the cake allowing them to be absorbed.
Place on your serving plate and garnish/decorate as desired.
Note – to garnish you can sprinkle with a bit of finely grated lemon zest or some wafer flowers.
It was actually quite, quite tasty. I think adding the lemon drizzle was a bit of genius on my part. Bon Appetit!
