Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Servings: 8 Ingredients: For the base: - 3 eggs - 1 pinch of salt - 20 g starch or 1/2 packet of lemon pudding powder - 7 tablespoons skimmed milk powder - 7 tablespoons skimmed milk - 3-4 tablespoons Green Sugar sweetener (or to taste) - 1/2 packet of baking powder - Lemon essence (optional, if using lemon pudding powder) For the vanilla cream: - 600 ml skimmed milk - 3 egg yolks - 4 tablespoons starch - 3-4 tablespoons sweetener (or to taste) - 1 vial of vanilla essence For the syrup: - 100 ml water - Sweetener (to taste) - Lemon essence (optional) For decoration: - Fresh raspberries Preparation: Step 1: Preparing the base 1. Separate the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the bowls are completely clean, as any trace of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping well. 2. Whip the egg whites: Using a mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form a firm foam. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy base. 3. Mixing the yolks: In another bowl, mix the yolks with the chosen sweetener until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Add the starch and baking powder, mixing well. 4. Add the milk: Gradually incorporate the skimmed milk and skimmed milk powder into the yolk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. 5. Lemon essence: Finally, add the lemon essence, if using, and homogenize the composition. 6. Incorporating the egg whites: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Do this with circular motions to keep the air in the egg whites. 7. Baking: Line a 22 cm baking tray with parchment paper, pour in the mixture, and place the tray in the preheated oven on low heat (about 160°C) for 10-15 minutes. Check if the base is baked by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, it's ready. Let it cool completely. Step 2: Preparing the vanilla cream 1. Mixing the ingredients: In a saucepan, mix the yolks with the sweetener and starch. Do this with a whisk to obtain a homogeneous composition. 2. Adding the milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly to prevent sticking. 3. Thickening the cream: Continue to stir until the cream thickens. This process may take a few minutes, but it's essential to be patient. 4. Vanilla essence: Once the cream is ready, remove it from the heat and add the vanilla essence. Mix well and let it cool. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the saucepan in a bowl of cold water. Step 3: Assembly 1. Preparing the syrup: In a small bowl, mix the water with the sweetener and lemon essence. This will add moisture to the layers and intensify the flavor. 2. Soaking the base: Place the cooled base on a platter and soak it evenly with the prepared syrup. 3. Add the cream: Spread the vanilla cream evenly over the soaked base. You can use a pastry ring to keep the cream in shape. 4. Decorating with raspberries: Wash the raspberries under cold water, then place them on the vanilla cream. Fresh raspberries not only offer an attractive appearance but also add a note of freshness. 5. Final cooling: Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour so that all the flavors blend perfectly. Practical tips: - Choose quality ingredients: The quality of the ingredients makes a difference in dessert preparation. Make sure to use fresh skimmed milk and seasonal raspberries for the best taste. - Customize the recipe: You can replace raspberries with other berries, such as blackberries or strawberries, for an interesting variation. - Reducing calories: By using sweetener instead of sugar, the cake becomes much friendlier to the diet while still retaining a delicious taste. Nutritional benefits: This diet cake is rich in protein due to the eggs and skimmed milk, while raspberries provide an important source of antioxidants and fiber. It is a low-calorie dessert, perfect for those who want to enjoy a sweet taste without having to give up their diet. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use other types of sweetener? Yes, you can adapt the recipe using your preferred sweetener, ensuring you follow the suggested proportions. 2. How can I store the cake? The cake stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for 2-3 days. The flavor will intensify as it sits. 3. Is it suitable for vegans? This recipe contains eggs and milk; however, you can adapt it by using vegan substitutes, such as plant-based milk and an egg replacer. Serving and combinations: This diet cake is perfect to be served after a hearty meal or as a treat with afternoon coffee. You can pair it with herbal tea or black coffee to balance the sweetness. Regardless of the context in which you choose to enjoy it, the cake will always bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones.
