Sugar Free Lemon Cake Balls Recipes

SUGAR-FREE LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ Gas 4. Grease and line a 1.2 litre loaf tin (22cm x 13cm width, 7cm depth) with baking parchment. Mix together the flour, baking powder, xylitol and lemon zest in a large bowl.
• Mix the eggs, sunflower oil, milk and yoghurt together in a separate bowl or jug and stir them into the flour mixture.
• Spoon into a tin and smooth the surface. Transfer to the oven immediately, bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 1 hour - 1 hour 10 mins. Check after 50 mins, if the cake is becoming too dark, cover loosely with foil.
• Just before the end of cooking time, make the drizzle by heating the lemon juice and xylitol. Stir over a low heat until the xylitol has dissolved. Once the cake is cooked, take it out of the oven and pour over the drizzle.
• Cool in the tin before turning it out.

SUGAR FREE LEMON BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 and prep your bundt cake well (oil+flour dusting for example).
• In a mixing bowl, use a whisk or a fork to mix together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Create a well in the center of the ingredients using a spoon or similar object. Next, in another bowl, mix together the canola oil and the sugar alternative. Then stir in the beaten eggs followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice as well as the extract. Pour the wet ingredients from the second bowl into the well that you created in the first bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk this until the ingredients are combined and smooth
• Bake until the cake begins to brown on top or a toothpick comes out clean (about 45 minutes). Then allow the pan to cool before turning upside down to release the cake. Top as desired (glaze or sugar alternative sprinkled on top).

LEMON CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• I used a box lemon cake mix, but you can choose homemade if you'd like. Either way, it should be the equivalent of a 9x13 baked lemon cake.
• In a large sized bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then set the bowl aside.
• Remove the cake from the pan and break it apart, crushing it until it's a fine crumble.
• Working in batches, add the powdered sugar mixture into the crumbled cake, stirring to combine as you continue adding the frosting.
• Once it is evenly mixed, use a spoon or portion scoop, to form the mixture into ball shapes, about 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter depending on your preference. Place the balls into a separate bowl or plate until you have rolled all of the mixture.
• Cover and chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or the refrigerator, for 1 hour (until cake truffles become firm).
• Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval. Watch it closely and melt it slowly until the chocolate is smooth and totally melted.
• Place a rolled truffle on a spoon or poke it on the end of a fork and quickly dip the truffle into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped truffle onto parchment paper to allow the chocolate to dry. Note: if adding sprinkles or other toppings, be sure to add them before the chocolate has dried.
• Allow the chocolate to set and store in an airtight container.

LOW-FAT SUGAR-FREE LEMON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a small springform pan with baking paper or lightly grease and dust with flour. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff. Set aside.
• Whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, milk and melted butter. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest and sweetener. Add to the liquid ingredients and stir in briefly but vigorously. Finally, fold in the beaten egg whites.
• Pour batter into the smooth out and bake the cake for 25-35 minutes. It will remain very light white. Let cool and spread with frosting. For this, mix yogurt with lemon juice and sweetener to taste.
