Doug’s delight !

We have posted this item quite a few times, it’s a lowcarb masterpiece and our friend Doug and his family love it, as do all our team.

The big one


Ingredients:
200g ground almonds
2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
3 medium eggs
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons double cream
Strawberries, raspberries and blue berries
Method:

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.

Melt the butter I used a Pyrex jug, add the eggs and cream, then add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add some lowcarb fruits, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries to the mix and spoon into a baking container. I used a silicone bread mould. Microwave in a 700watt for 6 minutes. Take out of the mould, if still damp place upside down on four layers of kitchen paper and microwave for a further one minute. Allow to cool then spread on a layer of extra thick cream, then add fruits to the top. A little tip, allow to cool on four or five layers of kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture. Serve in a bowl with some double cream. Serves eight.

   The small one

100g ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of melted butter
2 tablespoons of double cream
Half a  tub of clotted cream
A handful of fresh Strawberries


Method:
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
Melt the butter I used a Pyrex jug, add the eggs, cream, then add the dry ingredients and mix. Microwave in a 700watt for 3 minutes. Allow to cool and cut in half. Spread on extra thick clotted cream and some sliced strawberries. Serves four to six. Less than five carbs per portion.

Those strawberries look delicious. They are on sale in many supermarkets at the moment. Perhaps not as sweet as the English ones but I had some acceptable Spanish ones at the beginning of the week, enjoyed them simply with double cream - will have to make a low carb cake on Doug's recommendation at the weekend.
