Lemon and strawberries plumcake

This recipe is truly easy to make, and it’s perfect for any one. It’s light, gluten free and lactose free. You couldn’t ask for more… or could you? Yes, very very little fat.

This is a double version as you can also bake it with plain flour, and the faste remains just the same, it twill only brown a bit more.

The ingredients are super easy to find:

  • 3 eggs
  • 130 gr plain sugar
  • 50 gr vegetable oil
  • 200 gr flour (or 210 grams of rice flour for a glutenfree version)
  • 60 gr potato starch
  • 8 gr raising powder
  • 1 organic lemon (you will need the zest and the juice)
  • 200 gr strawberries

Put into a blow the eggs and the sugar and whisk until soft and stiffen, then add the juice and the zest of the lemon, and the oil. Whisk again and then start putting the flours into the mixture. Avoid lumps.

Put the dough into a baking tray for plumcakes and bake for 35 minutes at 170 degrees (preheated).

When it’s cold dust it with caster sugar, if you like.

This is the perfect cake for a nice and light breakfast. Enjoy!

Egg whites and cocoa cake

Egg whites and cocoa cake

Recycling is always a good thing, even in the kitchen.
Sometimes I find myself with plenty of egg whites, and the best way to use them up is baking a good cake. It can be flavoured in many ways (oranges are my favourites) but this time I’m going to go for a super easy recipe, using just cocoa powder, and no milk at all.
All you need is
180 gr egg whites
170 gr sugar
170 gr flour
100 gr vegetable oil
35 gr cocoa powder
150 gr water
16 gr baking powder
Icing sugar for decoration

In a bowl put the sugar with the liquid ingredients (oil and water) and stir. Then add the flours (flour, cocoa powder and baking powder) and stir again.
Then add the egg whites, previously whisked until stiff.
Put the batter into a greased loaf tin and bake it at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
When it’s cold sprinkle it with icing sugar and serve.
