Easy Low Carb Recipes. Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Natural Ingredients
We all need more fat bomb recipes in our lives!
Friends, I used to shudder when I heard someone utter the words fat bomb. Why would anyone want to eat a fat bomb? Wouldn’t that make you, well, FAT?
Now that I’ve been on a low carb diet, things have changed.
These days, if anyone is offering me a fat bomb, I do a happy dance. And then I eat it. Not the dance. The fat bomb.

Do you know how much Germans like bread? We seem to be born with a gene that makes us crave it at least once a day. In Germany there is a bakery around every corner brimming with sensible wholegrain rolls and Pumpernickels as heavy as rocks. Our evening meal is suitably called “Abendbrot” – literally translated “evening bread” and in Bavaria snack time is “Brotzeit” – bread-time. And when a Scandinavian tells you they invented the open faced sandwich, don’t believe a word they are saying. They just copied the Germans….

A festive treat without the sugar rush: This gluten free and moist spiced chocolate torte is sweetened with dates and erythritol. The perfect crowning glory for a special dinner with irresistible notes of cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
One of my favourite parts of the Christmas season are the festive scents that fill the house. The fresh pine aroma of the tree, the warm vanilla-spice scent of my favourite winter candle and all the wonderful smells that happen in my kitchen.
December is the month where most of us don’t mind giving it a little bit extra in the food department. It’s the end of the year. Christmas is around the corner and January, with its new gym membership, healthy resolutions and lean green salads is still eons away. And frankly, with it being mostly dark and wet outside, it is the perfect month for gathering friends and family round the table for big knockout feasts.
Tortes are naturally gluten free, because they are made with ground nuts instead of wheat flour. This recipe uses ground almonds. Because it contains a motherload of dark chocolate, butter and single cream, it is deliciously dense.
I used chocolate with 90% cocoa solids, so the sugar content of the chocolate calculated per slice is very low. If you want, you could use a sugar free chocolate instead. The recipe is sweetened with a mixture of dates and erythritol. I haven’t used dates in a while because they do have a high sugar content, but let’s not forget that this is a natural sugar which absorbed less rapidly than table sugar. Dates also have plenty of other health benefits, which you can read about in this post on my sweet potato brownies. They also give the torte a delicious caramel note. The cake provides 16 portions as it is very dense, which works out at 1/2 a date per slice (I used 8 dates in total).
The scent of cinnamon, cardamom and cloves that fills the house when you bake is just mouthwatering. I always find it incredible how such a tiny amount of cloves (1/4 teaspoon) can be so intense. These spices really are the heart and soul of the torte – don’t leave them out!
I actually also added vanilla into my torte, but have not included it in the ingredients below. To be honest, I could not taste it at all – the chocolate and spices are just too intense. Let’s save your vanilla extract for another beautiful dessert such as my healthy almond berry cake… or one that I shall present you with next week. Any festive favourites that could do with a sugar free makeover? Do let me know!
