Upgraded sugar free fruit cake, presents itself as a birthday cake.



I deleted the previous fruit cake recipe, because this is practically the same, except for being better because I made the bottom crust of the cake as well. And we managed to take a picture of it this time :)

 Its the same thing as muffin dough, a bit changed, so that it wont be too heavy or light either. Its about the half of the normal amount that I would use for cupcakes.

Ingredients for the bottom crust  (12 slices):
It contains some sugar just because I wasn't sure it would work out without it, but it can absolutely be left out!
  • 13 dkg-s of wheat
  •  2 eggs, divided
  • 10dkgs of sugar, or sweetening instead
  • half of a packet of baking powder
  • a little bit of vanilla flavour
  • about a half dl of milk
Mix the sugar with the egg yolk and the milk and add the vanilla flavour. Mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the flour to the moist ingredients, and stir it with a whisk. It has to be like a cream. Beat the egg-white and add it to the rest, stir it with a spoon. Pour it into the frame, and bake it for 20 minutes at most, at 165-170 deg. Mine became a bit downy, so i cut off those parts :)

Ingredients for the cream:
  • 8 dls of yoghurt
  • sweetening
  • the grated skin of one lemon
  • the juice of half of the lemon
  • raisins according to taste
  • 1 packet of gelatine sheets
  • some of the strawberries, chopped
Mix the yoghurt with the sweetening, the lemon juice and the lemon skin. You can add the raisins and the strawberries. Disolve the gelatine sheets in hot water, and add it to the youghurt. Pour it onto the bottom of the cake and let it cool for an hour in the fridge.

Trick: If you put some apicot jam mixed with gelatine onto the bottom of the cake, it wont get soaked.

Fruits:
  • strawberries, banana, orange
  • 2-3 dls of orange juice
  • another packet of gelatine sheets
The cream in the fridge in an hour hardens just enough that we can put the fruits on it. I put a layer of bananas under the strawberries, and it spiced it up really good. If we have everything we wanted on it, pour the previously heated orange juice, which contains the disolved gelatine already. Put it back to the fridge, until the whole stuff hardens perfectly.
