This was my first sugar-free orange cake test, gluten and lactose. I had never made a cake with culinary sweetener. I chose the orange flavor and I think for a first try it worked out great.!
When we think of a sugar-free cake, gluten-free and lactose-free soon comes that thought of cake with nothing = cake without taste. But the truth is, the kitchen is a laboratory and each recipe gets a different chemistry.. Ingredients that are substituted does not mean that the recipe will be bad., just gonna make a different chemistry. And all this to help those who can't make sugar consumption, gluten and lactose or choose not to.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of rice flour (I use the Risovita)
- 3 eggs
- 200ml of orange juice
- half of 1/2 cup of powdered sweetener (if you are too ant, can put the 1/2 full cup) I used a sweetener like that mixed with stevia that you buy at the grocery store.
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 85ml of vegetable drink or regular milk (I used homemade rice milk)
- 1 tablespoon of chemical yeast
Coverage
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sweetener
- 5 tablespoons of orange juice
- Orange zest to taste
How to prepare sugar-free orange cake, gluten and lactose in video form
Method of preparation
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl, except sweetener and yeast. Stir well (it can be with a spoon, it was, blender, food mixer, mixer..)
- Add the sweetener little by little and taste the dough to see how sweet it is.. I particularly don't like to add too much sweetener because I don't really like the aftertaste, but if you don't have a problem with that you can put the whole half cup without problems. Otherwise add little by little and see how much sweetener you like..
- Finally add the yeast and mix well..
- Pour the dough into a form of English cake greased with oil and rice flour.
- bake for 30 minutes at 230ºC.
- The syrup is just mixing all the ingredients, pierce the cake with a toothpick and throw on top. (It's optional)
Tips and considerations for making the sugar-free orange cake recipe, gluten-free and lactose-free
The advantage of this cake is that it is a small size.. Just because the recipe is sugar-free doesn't mean we can eat cake all week., so this size helps a lot because it ends fast 😀
I really wanted to make that white cake topping but it is usually made with icing sugar and as the proposal here is to use sweetener, it wouldn't work. I even tried to make it with the sweetener but it didn't turn out good.
