Yield: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (120g)
- 60g erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp cold water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (U.S. option HERE)
- 60g unsalted butter
- a pinch of fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 30g lupin flour (U.S. option HERE) or for world-wide delivery option HERE - use code QUEENKETO5 at checkout for discount
- 30g unsweetened cocoa powder (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp guar gum (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (U.S. option HERE)
- 240g hemp milk (or other nut/seed milk of your choice) (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- melt butter and set aside.
- separate eggs, then whip egg yolks with stevia, erythritol and water, until pale and fluffy.
- add salt, vanilla and warm butter, whisk again until smooth, then sift and add dry ingredients.
- warm up milk until hot to the touch (not scalding) and incorporate it slowly, while whisking constantly, to avoid lumps.
- pre-heat oven to 150C static.
- whip egg whites until opaque, then add vinegar and continue to whip until firm, but not powder-dry.
- carefully fold whipped egg whites into the cake mixture, using a manual balloon whisk in a down-across-up-and-over action; this is crucial as you don't want to deflate the mixture.
- pour into a rectangular silicone cake mould, at least 5cm deep, measuring 20cm x 10cm (17cm x 7cm at base).
- bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- remove from oven (it will be wobbly) and let cool.
- refrigerate overnight, then remove from mould and cut into 16 slices.
- dust with a little icing sugar (U.S. alternative HERE) if desired, and serve.
- keep refrigerated, uncovered, for up to 5 days.
Notes
If using a baking TIN or Pyrex, it will need to be buttered, lined with parchment paper and buttered again before you pour the cake mixture into it. Do make sure you use same-size bakeware, otherwise the result will be affected.

Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use. For U.S. option click HERE.
