Making a Treat for our Anniversary...but

[kkat55]

I was looking through some recipes to make us a little treat for our anniversary and found this little gem:



Magnolia's Coconut Cake
Ingredients:
200g of ground almonds
50g of melted butter
4 large eggs
100g of dessicated coconut(unsweetened)
8 individual packs of splenda
1 tsp of baking powder How To Prepare: Whip eggs until very frothy. Fold in dry ingreadients and melted butter until combined.


Spread in 2 sandwich tins and bake for approx 15 mins at 200c or 390f or until crispy on top.


Allow to cool and fill with fresh cream sweetened with splenda and strawberry halves.

Number of Servings: 6 or 8
Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 63 for whole cake
Preparation Time: 5 mins
Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy
Source: Magnolia



BUT, the measurements are not the standard ones for the USA, so we used Master Converter to get the correct servings in something we can measure with. However, one other thing I'm not sure of is "sandwich tins". Does anyone out there know what this means? Is it just the average round cake pan?

Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

It looks like it's on a regular size plate, so I would think it's just an average round cake pan.

I found a smaller than normal cake pan and baked it in that thinking I could slice it in half. It is a smaller amount of batter than a regular cake (from what I see mixing in the bowl and putting in the small, round cake pan).

I'll let you know how it all turns out.

The cake turned out good. It was a nice change and wasn't too sweet.

I'm so glad I moved up to the berries rung -- it should help to get more potassium in.
