100g ground almonds (1 1/8 cups)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp baking powder
25g butter, melted (1 3/4 tablespoons)
Zest from 1 lemon
1/2 cup chopped cranberries
Juice of 1 lemon (1 tbsp in mixture, rest for when cake's out of oven)
Liquid sweetener to taste (if using powdered, count the carbs!)
Just throw all the ingredients together, mix, and cook till its brown in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Bake in a small loaf pan, sprayed with a little oil. While cake is cooling, sprinkle reserved lemon juice/sweetener over loaf. The juice of a whole lemon may be too much if you don't like lemon, you can cut that back if desired or omit completely. (The zest and juice of the lemon contribute about 5 carbs to the recipe).
Total carbs for recipe (using liquid sweetners): 32 carbs (incl. 13 fiber), 33 grams protein, 83 grams fat, 1006 calories. I usually cut it into 4 servings.
Just waiting for it to cool, but the little nibbles from the edges taste really good!
