Apple Cake
Serves: 16 slices
Carbs Per Serving: 6g (3g fiber)
Effort: Easy
Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water (240ml)
2 apple-flavored herbal tea bags - optional
1 apple
2 tablespoons lemon juice (30ml)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar equivalent
1/2 cup Wise CHOice Cake-ability Baking Aid (50g)
1/2 pound ground pecans (225g or about 2 cups)
pinch salt
3/4 cup sugar equivalent (equivalent to 150g)
3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil (45ml)
2 teaspoons allspice or apple pie spice
1/4 cup walnut pieces (30g) - optional
How to Prepare:
1. Optional: prepare apple tea concentrate and allow to cool. Otherwise, just use plain water in Step 6.
2. Peel apple, slice thin, and then cut part into thin slices, the rest into a small dice. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sweetener.
3. Grease tube pan and arrange apple slices in an attractive pattern.
Optional: if the pan is microwave safe, partly cook the apple slice -- this will help them stay in place when batter is added.
4. Also cook the diced apple briefly in microwave or on stove to make the apple pieces tender.
5. Mix (or grind) together, breaking up any lumps: CBA, ground nut sweetener equal (if dry -- or add liquid sweetener in Step 3), pin salt. The finer the nuts are ground, the finer the cake.
6. Combine liquid ingredients.
7. Stir liquid and dry ingredients together until thoroughly wet - no need to beat!
8. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Swirl in apple pieces and optional walnuts. Microwave (around 7 minutes), preferably raised above the floor of the oven (an upside-down glass pie plate works well), or bake a 350¡F (175¡C) -- loaf pans 40-50 minutes, round pans 25-35 minutes, cupcakes/muffins 15-25 minutes -- or until center springs back.
9. Invert to serve.
NOTES:
- Use any combination of fruit and spices.
- Save the fruit carbs and get the fruit flavor from a commercial flavoring.
- Use apple or spice herb tea instead of water.

Its So Good Tirimisu
Serves: 1
Carbs Per Serving: 34g carbs total
Effort: Easy
Ingredients:
16 ounces mascarpone cheese -- bel-gio-oso brand is best
3 Eggs
2 shots decaf espresso or strong coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup artificial sweetener -- equal is ok, it's no bake
OPTIONAL - about 24 vanilla wafers -- keeblers has the lowest carbs
How to Prepare:
Seperate the egg yolks from the whites. In one bowl, beat egg yolks, sweetener, 1 TBSP espresso, and vanilla for 2-3 minutes. Add this mixture to the marscapone cheese and beat until smooth, but do not over-beat! In another bowl, beat the egg whites untill stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the marscapone mixture If you want a crust, line the bottom of a pie or bread pan with the wafers and drizzle espresso over them lightly. If not, just put the mixture into the pie or bread pan, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top if desired Refridgerate for 3-4 hours. This will knock your socks off!!! Your friends who eat sugar will clean the plate, too, and it's very simple to make.
NOTES : Counts for espresso not included in totals.
And Enjoy.
