Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Sugar free cake recipe anyone?
Please can someone help, I have tried looking on the internet, but not with much luck. My son decided to give up sugar for Lent and it is his Birthday tomorrow! Does anyone have a cake recipe that doesn't use sugar, please? Unfortunately, being in the UK we don't have liquid splender. I do have the powdered variety though but am not sure about proportions. (if indeed it can be used in cake recipes) As I said I haven't been able to find one anywhere :( Only one that uses the liquid type. I really would appreciate any help given. Thank you tp We don't have liquid splenda over here either (not in the general market anyway), but if you look around the internet, you should be able to find something. What about a cheesecake? Or try www.camacdonald.com/lc/LowCarbohydrateCooking-Recipes.htm for more recipes. Good luck!

The recipe is in the archives here. Everyone around me gets one on their BDay. Even non LCers love it.

Yvonne Recipe By Garth Lamson Yield 4 Serving Preparation Time 5 min Cooking Time 8-10 min Equipments 4 oz Molds or Ramekins; Electric mixer; measuring cups; measuring spoons; rubber spatula; sifter; Spoon SPONGE CAKE 2 large Egg, seperated 6 tbsp Atkins Pancake & Waffle Mix, sifted 4 tbsp Splenda Preparation Preheat oven to 375 F. Cake Instructions: 1. In your mixer, whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Slowlly add the sugar and continue to whip until stiff and glossy. A tip for the stiff is if the peaks stand striaght up when you pull the whisk out. 2. Fold in your beaten yolks and Atkins Waffle mix. Mix until combined. 3. Butter your 4, 4 oz ramekins. Using a spoon, divide the batter equally amoung the 4, 4 oz ramekins. Put on a cookie sheet and place in oven at 375F. Bake roughly 8-10 minutes. You want the tops just to be turning brown. 4. Take out and allow to cool about 20 seconds. Flip onto your plate you are making the desert on. Continue. Note: If they stick, just use a small spatula to run around the edges. They will fall right out then. I like to cut them in half and fill the center with fruit as seen in the photo. ______________________________________________________________________ Per Serving: 77 Calories; 48 g Fat; 1 g Sat Fat; 131 mg Cholesterol; 217 mg Sodium; 4 g Carb; 1 g Fiber; 10 g Protein. Note This is just a basic recipe. I definitely can see adding in flavors. You can add vanilla pods, or maybe cinnamon or nutmeg.

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL :) I am having the "big" wedding in August and we have the issue of a wedding cake that's edible to both the "sugar people" and the diabetics/Atkins people in our families. [Pretty much half my family is diabetic, I'm totally sugar intolerant, and half his family are Atkins followers] We are thinking of having one layer that is "no-sugar/low-carb". I'd make the whole damn thing sugarless, but the SUGAR FREAKS won't TOUCH anything "sugar free"... GRRRRR (sorry BIG pet peeve.) My Sugar Freak lovey will NEVER try Splenda or substitutes, which makes it maddening to cook for him sometimes admittedly... but that's a subject for another post. When I cheated (I paid for it; I felt SICK all day) Sunday, the cake I had tasted like a sponge cake with whipped cream and strawberries and almonds; it occurs to me I could make a totally sugarless version. I suppose I'm luckier than most, in that eating sugar or a high carb meal gives me an immediate, awful response. wilson burbled across the ether: > We are thinking of having one layer that is "no-sugar/low-carb".

How about making the whole thing lowcarb, and just not telling the sugar freaks? Make a game of it-- have the diabetics/atkids in on the conspiracy to trick the other half, yada yada, big secret. All revealed at the reception after everybody's had a piece-- joke joke, all in fun. And you can avoid catering to the whims of other people on YOUR big day. <begin grumbling> I mean, it's not as if they're at a restaurant or something where they can demand service to thier standards.

I thought that those people that have passed Induction would indulge in the occasional treat, including a cake made with slightly alternative ingredients, i.e.. slenda, particularly for special occasions. Regards tp If you're past induction, happy with your weightloss, and feel the need for a piece of cake, why don't you just eat a small slice of real cake once a month or so? That's assuming you know what a small slice really is.

That's assuming you know what a small slice really is. Well returning to my original post, the recipe was required for my Son who has given up Sugar for Lent. I was wanting to make an effort for him on his birthday as he is really trying hard himself. Nothing to do with a low carb WOE. Just asked here as I assumed someone would be able to help with a recipe that suggests a sugar alternative. Yes I did search before hand, just wasn't looking in the right places obviously. Have actually printed off the recipe for 'Chocolate Cake' now, as well as the 'Cheesecake'... think I will try both as it is a special occasion :) And yes, I will have just a small slice (of both of course!). Will be watching what I eat for the rest of the day though! tp >Cake is not low carb. You *do* suffer from attention deficit, don't you? The poster said it was for her son who gave up sugar for Lent - not a word about low carb, you brainless twit. Can you actually read English or are you trying to bluff your way through? Guess what? It's not working. Now go work on trying to reduce some of that suet between your flapping ears. So you still believe that cake can be low carb?

Dumbass, again you can't seem to get beyond your own tired little frame of mind. The OP wasn't asking about LC, she was asking about sugar-free cake recipe for her son who has given sugar up for Lent. Do you need Lent explained too you, blithering simpleton? I am truly amazed that you claim to be a teacher, but consistently demonstrate the maturity of a jr high schooler and the intellect of a can of motor oil.

That's interesting, he gave up sugar for Lent, but he still wants to eat sweet cakes, presumably other sweets, cookies, chocolate etc. May I ask, what is the purpose of such lent. Is he telling God, dear God, I gave up sugar for You, although I am still eating sweets, cakes etc, they taste just like the ones with sugar, just sweetened with different chemical compounds. So, Dear God, please accept this sacrifice for me and assist in getting me into heavens as soon as I die from junk food abuse. Would that be a correct summary of his giving up sugar and still eating LC cakes. i > That's interesting, he gave up sugar for Lent, but he still wants to > eat sweet cakes, presumably other sweets, cookies, chocolate etc. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > i C'mon Ig, don't start thinking like JC. Reread the poor woman's post. Her SON gave up sugar. SHE (the mom) wants to give him the cake. It's a gesture of love and good will that recognizes the sacrifice that he made. Frankly, it's unknown whether her son will in fact eat the cake. There's lots of possible outcomes here. For example, he may just accept the cake to be polite, maybe even eat a small slice and then discretely give the rest away so as not to hurt his mom's feelings. It isn't that hard to imagine unless you're just looking for reasons to criticise. Good Lord, I often wonder if LC affects people's ablity to think clearly. Or it just makes 'em downright nasty. Tom Do you rationalize everything, so that you think that everything is ok for you?

Or it just makes 'em > downright nasty. My opinions regarding fake LC foods are well known and nothing new. Anyway, I think that the mom has to recognize that she is, first, sabotaging her son's lent, as it has no sacrificial purpose if sugar is replaced with other chemicals, and second, her son is up to something good and baking a fake cake is not doing him any service. i > My opinions regarding fake LC foods are well known and nothing new. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > i I can see your point there, but I think it assumes we know anything about how they practice their faith. I tend to avoid judging how people practice or express their faith. That's between them and God -- with or without cake. I guess I'm looking at that she's trying to do something nice AND acknowledge her son's faith at the same time. Hard to criticise that in my book. We can comment on it all day, but it has nothing to do with sugar free cake or contribute to our understanding of their faith practices. I do understand your opinion on the fake foods, and won't argue that with you other than to say that lots of people use artificial sweeteners and have lived to tell the tale. Everyone's circumstances are different, and this is a prime example. The standard LC response to sweets, baked goods, and weight loss are really off the mark. They just don't apply to the situation. Why do people get off on these moral stands when it comes to diets?? [The various posts/replies I've seen that say, "Such and such is not low-carb." "Ha-ha! That's why you're a fatty!" "I am morally superior to you because I NEVER feel temptation", etc.] I thought I got away from that when I quit being a vegetarian. Now I see that vegetarians don't have the monopoly on self-righteousness in the eating department. For Heaven's sake, all people do is try their very best. You're not trying very hard if you're eating cake.

Splenda is only about 70% sweet as sugar, so to get the same effect (for a person who is not on lowcarb) you'd want to add 30% more. If your person is sensitive to sweet, go ahead and use it 1 to 1 conversion.

Seems to depend on whether you are sweetening something that needs sweetening--e.g, rhubarb, chocolate--or whether you are just making something sweet in general. SignatureJean B. |
