110g softened butter
110g Greek style yoghurt (I use full fat)
1 cup Splenda (or other sweetener equivalent) If you don't have an overly sweet tooth cut this down to 3/4 cup.
1 tsp vanilla paste or 2 tsp vanilla essence
170g ground almonds
1.5 tsp baking powder
4 eggs beaten
Stir the softened butter and yoghurt together with a hand or electric whisk. Add the sweetener and mix well. Beat the eggs and add a little at a time beating in well. Add the vanilla essence. Fold in the ground almonds and baking powder.
Heat oven to gas mark 4. grease and line a 23cm cake tin or a medium loaf tin and bake for 30 - 40 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
You can then add any flavour ingredients to make this cake whatever you like. I often add half to 3/4 of a peeled and cored eating apple diced up, or a pear or add some diced up preserved ginger from a jar + a couple of tbs of the syrup. You can add cocoa powder or any other flavouring. A couple of tbs very strong instant coffee makes a great cake.
Sorry not carb counted it cos it depends on what exactly you do use i.e. apple/pear/ginger...
