I thought some of you might like my latest 'party' cakes that I take along when visiting someone for tea and nibbles.
Recipe (makes 12 hearts that are sandwiched with sweetened cream cheese to make 6 buns.)
1 ounce melted butter
1/2 cup ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tablespoons Davinci syrup (I use vanilla or almond flavour)
4 Tablespoons water
Mix till smooth batter-like consistency
Spoon into microwaveable heart-shaped chocolate mould - about 1/4-1/3 inch's worth of batter. Or make them in a muffin mould instead.
Using the mould I have I do 3 batches of 4 at a time.
Microwave for 2-3 minutes per batch for a spongey texture.
If you overcook them you end up with a slightly smaller crunchy bun which is still nice.(don't ask why I know that!!)
While they cool I mix up cream cheese with some more Davinci syrup and chill it. Then stick two at a time together (top of each heart outwards) with a dollop of the 'cream'. If you like you can use whipped cream and sliced strawberries instead!
According to fitday.com the whole recipe is
cals - 627
fat - 68
carbs - 12 less fibre - 6 = 6 net carbs
prot - 21
Plus whatever counts for the 'filling'.
