Amanera Sauce
- ¼ cup / 35g cherries pitted (I used 6 frozen cherries)
- 4 raspberries 20g
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- pinch ground chia seeds optional
Optional
- 1 square dark chocolate grated 3g
- Fresh cherry
Chocolate Sponge
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F electric or 160C / 320F fan assisted.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients - coconut flour, baking powder, cacao powder and sweetener. Make sure there are no lumps.
Add the wet ingredients - egg, cream and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Stir in the optional chocolate chips and let the batter rest for a minute.
Bake in a well-greased ramekin for 20 minutes or until you can insert and remove a skewer without crumbs sticking. Do not over bake as it will firm up as it cools.
6.6g net carbs per serving. Makes 2 servings.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. It's possible to make the sponge and the filling up to 2 days ahead of time. The sponge cake can also be frozen separately for up to 3 months.
Option to multiply the Amarena filling to have additional low carb jam for breakfast.
Microwave cake: It's possible to bake the sponge in the microwave. For this, separate the batter between 2 ramekins and cook them for 90 seconds at 900W. Increase or decrease the time according to the wattage of your microwave.
