Well it's been quite some time since I made one of these. Haven't been on a Keto for a couple of years now. But now that I am back on low carb, I am going to give these a whirl again.
First up, I am going to try an Orange Rum cake. I bought Davinci Orange sugar free syrup so I will use that with some rum and I am going to put some ginger and clove in as well. If it is a success, I will let you guys know .
EDIT: Okay, first attempt was pretty successful
.
1/2 cup of carb quick
1/4 cup of almond flour
~1/8 tsp of dry ginger (I use whole dry ginger and grate it on a microplane for best falvor)
~1/8 tsp of ground clove (I grind it right before use for best flavor)
1 egg
1/4 cup of DaVinci Sugar Free Orange Syrup
1 TBS Bacardi Rum
Enough Heavy Creme to bring it to a Pancake Batter consistency (Maybe 1/4 cup at most)
Mix all dry ingredients, add the wet stuff and mix it together well with a whisk. Split it up into 2 4" Oiled Ramekins and Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
The result was a very light/fluffy muffin that was moist and perfectly sweet for my tastes. It was almost like an angel food cake.
What I may try different next time is to use a little bit more ginger and clove and I may use Canola Oil or Hemp Milk to finish the batter instead of heavy creme. I am hoping the higher fat content will produce a denser cake more like pound cake instead of angel food cake.
