    Soft and moist almond flour cakes that can be filled with any delicious filling.  Berries and cream are particularly delicious.

    Cream and apple filling..mmm..

    To be honest I am not sure if this is a cake or could be passed off as a soft cookie. They are soft and sponge-like but I wonder if I cooked them for longer to harden they would be more of a cookie. For the time being I am using them as mini sponges and sandwiching them with some cream and soft fruit. The ones that I used with cooked slices of apple did not last long at all.

    This is a delicate mixture to handle though so be careful with it! I used ginger to flavour the sponges but you could play around and use cocoa or other spices. Go crazy, play around and make it to your liking!

    INGREDIENTS

    ¼ cup almond flour
    2 eggs, separated
    1 tblspn double/heavy cream
    ½ tspn ground ginger
    4 tblspn sugar substitute (I used erthyritol)

    Yum! Soft and sweet but no sugar! Yah!

    METHOD

    • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
    • Whip the egg whites until still.  Then add the sugar substitute and whisk again to keep thick peaks.
    • In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, egg yolks, cream, ginger and erthyritol (sugar substitute).
    • Fold in the egg white mixture carefully (it will look like a meringue mixture).
    • Put tablespoons of the mixture onto a greaseproof lined tray (although I think waxed paper would be better.).
    • Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden and firm.
    • Leave to cool and carefully remove from the paper...a palette knife would be great here.  They are delicate! Be Warned!
    • Sandwich together with cream and your filling of choice.  Or just munch them on their own.
    • Eat and enjoy!
