Sugar-free raspberry cake

Sugar-free raspberry cake has a thin cocoa sponge, raspberry cream and whipped cream on top. Each portion has two layers, with fruit in between. I use raspberries that are dry on the outside for decoration, so they don’t leave drops on the whipped cream. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 18 minutes. Rest: 75 minutes. Total time: 118 minutes. Serves: 6. About 200 kcal and 6 g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
For the sponge
- 2 extra-large XL eggs
- 40 g Green Sugar sweetener
- 70 g whole wheat flour
- 10 g cocoa powder with 11% fat
- 0.5 g ammonium bicarbonate
- 0.5 g baking soda
- 2.5 ml lemon juice or 4 drops of vinegar
For the raspberry cream
- 200 g raspberries
- 40 g Green Sugar sweetener
- 2.5 ml lemon juice or 2 drops of vinegar
- 100 g cream with 30% fat
For assembly
- 100 g cream with 30% fat
- 4.5 g Green Sugar sweetener
- 180 g raspberries
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 2. Beat the eggs with 40 g sweetener until a foam forms on the surface. 3. Activate the ammonium bicarbonate and baking soda with 2.5 ml lemon juice or 4 drops of vinegar. Add them to the eggs along with the flour and cocoa, and beat until the mixture is smooth. 4. Pour the mixture into a 32 x 22 cm baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes, until the surface is no longer shiny. 5. Let the sponge cool completely, about 45 minutes. Trim the edges, then cut it into 7 x 4 cm rectangles. 6. Put 200 g raspberries in a saucepan over low heat with 40 g sweetener and 2.5 ml lemon juice or 2 drops of vinegar. Simmer for about 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens and there’s no watery liquid left. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes; you can speed things up by setting the saucepan in a larger bowl of cold water. 7. Whip 100 g cream until fluffy and holding its shape, then fold in the cooled raspberries. 8. Put 2 teaspoons of cream on each of 6 rectangles. Top each with 6 pieces of raspberry, then cover with the remaining rectangles. 9. Whip 100 g cream with 4.5 g sweetener until fluffy. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, decorate the 6 little cakes and place one raspberry on top of each swirl.
Notes
Serve each piece with unsweetened coffee, which goes well with the cocoa sponge. The sponge and raspberry cream can be made a day ahead and kept separately in the fridge; assembled cakes keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. You can speed up cooling the sponge, but the whipped cream will soften if you cover it while it’s warm; let it come to room temperature. If the raspberries are very ripe and release a lot of juice, the mixture may need a few extra minutes on the heat, until there’s no watery liquid left. Like a little cream sandwich, each portion sits between two layers of sponge, with the fruit in the middle. The whole wheat flour can be replaced with 70 g white flour, which will make the sponge finer. After assembly, the sponge absorbs a little moisture from the cream, so the layers settle better as they chill. Wipe the knife blade after each cut so the edges of the portions stay clean. Contains gluten, eggs and dairy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes, add them straight to the saucepan without thawing. If there’s still a lot of liquid, simmer the mixture for another 2-3 minutes.
What can I use instead of Green Sugar?
You can use granulated erythritol in the same amounts: 40 g in the sponge, 40 g in the cream and 4.5 g for the whipped cream. It may taste less sweet.
Can I make the sponge without cocoa?
Yes, replace the 10 g cocoa with 10 g whole wheat flour; the sponge will be lighter in color.
