Ingredients
Muffin Cakes
- 87 g Keto MagiCake™ Original Mix (only available in the UK)
- 80 g quark cheese
- 3 large eggs (160g without shell)
- 80 g water
- 40 g high-oleic sunflower oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- red food colouring
Filling and Topping
- 100 g quark cheese
- 100 g whipping cream
- 20 g Sukrin icing 'sugar' (or Make your Own)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Decoration (all optional)
Instructions
Bake Muffins
- pre-heat oven to 170°C static.
- beat quark to make it smooth and creamy; then whisk in eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is well incorporated before adding the next one.
- add oil, water, vanilla extract and red food colouring, a little at a time, until you achieve the desired hue.
- tip the MagiCake™ Mix into a bowl and give it a really good stir; add 87g to the egg mixture; use a manual balloon whisk to combine.
- fill your silicone moulds and smooth the tops with a wet teaspoon.
- bake for 25-30 mins (check with a skewer); turn off oven, open door and leave in situ 5 mins.
- remove from oven and allow the muffins to cool completely before popping them out of the mould.
Make the Filling/Topping
- whip quark, icing 'sugar' and vanilla extract to a smooth paste.
- add cream and continue to whip until firm (deep trails will form).
Assemble and Decorate
- when the muffins are totally cold, slice them horizontally, add ½ filling over the bottom halves, sandwich with the top halves, and cover with the remaining cream.
- to prettify your creation, you could use a fork to make swirl lines on the top layer of frosting, or you could add a few sparsely placed drops of red food colouring that you can drag out with a toothpick or skewer to create patterns.
- (optional) lightly dust with dehydrated raspberry powder, edible rose petals, fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings/crumbs.
- refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Notes
The remaining dry mix can be returned to its pouch for future use.
If using ricotta instead of quark, expect a slightly grainy texture, depending on brand and quality.
To save time, you can bake the muffins one day prior to adding the filling/topping and decoration. Just leave them, uncovered, at room temperature and complete them the following day.
