Just baked a cake

[Mark Parrott]

Here is my chocolate sponge cake I just made. I based it on the recipe for the low carb yule log I made at Christmas.🙂

Well spotted. i'll have to feed them to the chickens as I'm away all weekend.🙂

Oooh, yum!

Mark how long did you bake it for please, and was this the full 9 eggs recipe?

 

[john pardo]

Yes please.

I doubled the recipe size so there was enough to fill 2 cake tins. That means there was a staggering 18 eggs in the recipe.😱 I tried with less, but the mixture was too dry. Texture isn't really cake like, more like a solid mousse. Very nice, though. Luckily as we have our own hens, we have plenty of eggs.🙂

 

[Radders]

Oh wow!

Inspirational.
Have you ever tried them as cupcakes? Do you think that would work?

 

[Mark Parrott]

I was tempted to do cupcakes. Think it would work great. I just decided that I wanted to make a big cake. And it was big.

I'm going into the big city to do the weekly shop today. @Mark Parrott what is all this talk about eggs?! The recipe I found was from Xpert somebody, but it was in this forum, and it calls for 1 egg? Can you post the recipe you used please?

I made a courgette chocolate recipe yesterday but it wasn't very successful. Not sweet enough and it had that dryness you get from coconut flour. I am going to rescue them by soaking them in rum.

I don't know about the 1 egg recipe. My cake was based on a recipe I posted for a Yule Log. I just double the cake ingredients but kept the cream & frosting amounts the same.

Aye, that was the picture I saw but the recipe wasn't on it, so I did a forum search. I will look again, sorry.
Found it. Lots of eggs! http://lowcarbyum.com/low-carb-buche-de-noel-yule-log/
