Method
Cake and Frosting:
-
In a large bowl combine the eggs, sugar, stevia, zest, almond and vanilla essence.
-
Whisk on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture triples in volume.
-
You will know when it is ready when you lift up the beaters and the batter will form ribbons (meaning the ribbons stay on top of your batter a few seconds before sinking down into the batter again).
-
The whipping stage is very important. How well you whip the egg mixture will determine how well your sponge rises and the final outcome of the cake.
-
The mixture will be very pale in colour - like a pale mayonnaise.
-
Now sift in the flour, baking powder and salt in two additions (half and half).
-
Fold the flour GENTLY into the egg mixture. As soon as the flour has been incorporated, stop mixing.
-
Pour mixture into lightly greased, floured cake tin and the base lined with baking paper.
-
Bake the cake immediately in a preheated oven 160C/320F for 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
-
As soon as the cake comes out of the oven (while it's still hot) pour the milk all over the top. Allow to sit like this for 3 minutes, then flip it on to a plate and allow to cool completely. Remove the baking paper and allow to cool completely.
-
Cover the cake with Benna white chocolate dessert and top with sprinklers. If using greek yoghurt and it isn't sweet enough, you can add a little bit of icing sugar to it.
-
Enjoy!
