CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS CAKE

Notes

This will keep in the fridge for 3 days. You can make the cake ahead and freeze without the topping! I used frozen raspberries (defrosted), you could use other fruits but would need to recalculate. I cooked in a 7-inch ring mould which made it easy to slice into 10 portions. Each Portion values are: Fat: 10.47g Pro: 3.11g Cho: 1.13g

Ingredients

  • 30g Butter
  • 75g Almond flour flurry – HOLLAND & BARRETT
  • 5g Cocoa – BOURNVILLE
  • 75g Eggs
  • 37g Raspberries
  • 75g Mascarpone – MORRISONS
  • 4g Psyllium husk – TELEPHONE BRAND SAT-ISABGOL
  • You will also need 2g BARKAT baking powder, 30g water with 1g white vinegar and 20g sweetener – NATVIA, TRUVIA or SUKRIN powder or granules and a few drops of vanilla extract.

Instructions

  1. Pre heat oven to 180c / fan 160c / gas 4.
  2. Reserve the mascarpone for the topping, chop the raspberries and keep to one side.
  3. Blend ALL remaining ingredients with a hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluff; gently stir in the chopped raspberries.
  4. Place in a small cake tin (shape of your choice) and cook for approximately 15 -20 minutes until risen and firm.
  5. When it is cold and ready to serve beat the mascarpone until smooth, you can flavour it if you like but it has a lovely taste of its own. Spread over the top of the cake and decorate with appropriate Christmas figures and a light dusting of cocoa powder

🌎 New dietary guidance has recently been launched in the United States, centred around the message β€œeat real food”. realfood.gov/ . The guidance places greater emphasis on whole, minimally processed foods and lower intakes of refined carbohydrates, all of which are more common in the KDT (Ketogenic Dietary Therapies) world.UK national nutrition guidelines have not changed and continue to differ from the US approach. For individuals following a ketogenic or other specialist diet, this difference in guidance between countries can feel confusing and may raise questions about what is β€œright” or β€œrecommended”.It is important to remember that therapeutic diets, such as the ketogenic diet, are prescribed and managed based on individual clinical need rather than general population advice. If you have questions or concerns about how changing nutrition messages may relate to your diet or your child’s care, please speak with your dietitian for personalised advice.#ketodiet #keto #epilepsy #Glut1KetoCollege - Medical Ketogenic Dietary Therapies training ...

With these long nights and icy weather, there's nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup to cosy up with. If you're short on time, some shop-bought soups are low in carbs and make a quick, convenient dinner option, so it's a good idea to keep a few cans in your cupboard. Check out our 'Humble Soup' article online for some helpful tips, plus you'll find a link to our recipe section where you can discover Mo's tasty homemade soup recipes.www.matthewsfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Humble-Soup.pdf ...
