Ingredients
Madeira Cake:
- 4 jumbo eggs (260g total)
- 100g extra virgin olive oil (U.S. option HERE)
- ⅛ tsp fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 organic, unwaxed lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 tsp lemon extract (U.S. option HERE)
- 60g erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- ½ tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
- 20g oat fibre (U.S. option HERE)
- 80g fine coconut flour (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 65g blueberries
(optional) Lemon Cream Drizzle:
- 100g double cream
- 1 TBSP Sukrin icing 'sugar' (U.S. alternative HERE) (or Make your Own)
- 1 organic, unwaxed lemon (juice and zest)
Instructions
- pre-heat oven to 160°C fan (180C static).
- whisk eggs until tripled in volume, add olive oil and whisk again to emulsify.
- add all other ingredients except blueberries, mixing well between each addition - the mix should be quite dense, but should fall off a spoon: add a little coconut milk if too dry.
- gently fold in the blueberries, then transfer the cake mix to a baking loaf tin lined with non-stick oven paper.
- bake for 35-40 mins, until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- to make the (optional) lemon cream drizzle: simmer the cream and icing 'sugar' for 5 minutes until reduced, let it cool down, then add lemon zest (1 whole lemon) and juice (1/2 lemon) - the lemon cream will become thicker as it cools.
- once the cake has cooled down completely, remove it from the loaf tin, peel away the paper and transfer it to a serving plate.
- spoon the lemon cream into a piping bag, snip the end (no nozzle necessary) and decorate your cake as you wish.
Notes
When lining your loaf tin, ensure some overhang on the opposite long sides - it will make it easier to lift the cake out once cooled.
