With an appealing appearance and pleasant taste, it will bring a smile to your face. Let’s begin our culinary journey! Total time: 60 minutes Preparation time: 10 minutes Baking time: 30-35 minutes Number of servings: 8 Necessary ingredients: For the cake: - 6 eggs - 2-3 tablespoons cocoa (choose a quality one for a more intense flavor) - 6 tablespoons cornstarch (used to provide a fluffier texture) - 8 tablespoons fat-free yogurt (will provide moisture and a creamy taste) - Sweetener to taste (about 3 tablespoons, but adjust according to preference) - 2 teaspoons baking powder (to help the cake rise) - Essences: vanilla, orange, almond, cinnamon, coconut (choose the combination you like best) For the glaze: - 3 teaspoons of skim milk (for a creamy consistency) - 2 teaspoons of sweetener - About 4-5 tablespoons of powdered milk (this will help thicken the glaze) Preparing the cake: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help with better homogenization. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. 2. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, add the 6 eggs. Use a whisk to beat them well until fluffy. This step is essential for getting an airy cake. 3. Add the dry ingredients: Incorporate the cocoa, cornstarch, baking powder, and sweetener. Mix gently, ensuring there are no lumps. It’s important to use a whisk to achieve a homogeneous mixture. 4. Incorporate the yogurt: Add the fat-free yogurt and your favorite essences. Mix again until you obtain a liquid but well-bound composition. 5. Preparing the pan: Grease a silicone mold with a little oil. This step will help you remove the cake more easily after baking. 6. Pouring the mixture: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Don't be alarmed by the liquid consistency of the mixture; it’s normal! 7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the mold in the oven and let it bake for 30-35 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready! 8. Cooling: Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the mold for a few minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely on a rack. Preparing the glaze: 1. Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the skim milk, sweetener, and powdered milk. Mix well until you obtain a smooth paste. If the glaze is too runny, add more powdered milk to achieve the desired consistency. 2. Glazing the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the glaze over it, allowing it to drip down the edges of the cake for an appetizing appearance. Serving suggestions: This Dukan glazed cake is perfect to be served alongside a cup of green tea or a cappuccino. You can decorate it with some fresh fruit or coconut flakes for an extra touch of flavor and texture. Tips and variations: - You can experiment with different flavors by adding essences like lavender or mint. - If you want a moister cake, you can add a puree of bananas or apples to the mixture. - Instead of glaze, you can sprinkle a little cocoa or coconut on top for a rustic look. Nutritional benefits: This cake is an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy a healthier dessert. By using fat-free yogurt and sweetener, it significantly reduces the calorie content, having about 120 calories per serving, depending on the amount of sweetener used. It is also a good source of protein due to the eggs. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use another type of sweetener? Yes, you can use maple syrup or honey, but these may slightly change the nutritional values. 2. What can I do with the leftover glaze? The leftover glaze can be stored in the fridge and used to sweeten other desserts or drinks. 3. How can I store the cake? Keep the cake in an airtight container in the fridge, where it can last up to a week. Now you are ready to try this Dukan glazed cake! Whether you make it for a special occasion or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth, you will be delighted with the final result. Cook with joy and enjoy every bite!
