Title: Almond and coconut cake - grain and sugar free
Post by: Moonmobile on December 17, 2010, 08:33:05 am
I am on a really strict diet at present and was feeling miserable so googled almond and xylitol - which I can have and found a really delicious recipe which I have modified in a number of ways and converted for the tmx. This is helping to make the diet more bearable!

110g coconut oil
100g xylitol
140g almonds
2 tbsp dessicated coconut (I used American 15mls)
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp (US) milk

Grease 4.5" by 8.5" loaf pan and line with baking paper and preheat oven to 350F/180C

1. Process Almonds 8 seconds speed 7. Set aside.
2. Mix almonds with dessicated coconut, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
3. Cream coconut oil with xylitol 10 secs speed 3
4. Add one egg at a time - speed 3 -4 until fully blended
5. Add milk and a bit more mixing.
6. Add dry ingredients and mix at speed 4-5 for 20 secs (?) until thick
7. Spoon into prepared loaf pan
8. Bake for 30 minutes
