Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Stevia powder
- 2 whole Pandan leaves
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 200 grams Tapioca flour
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 5 large Eggs
- 100 grams Erythritol
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, stevia powder, and pandan leaves. Heat the mixture on low until warm, about 5 minutes. Take care not to boil. Allow it to cool and remove the pandan leaves.
Stir in the turmeric powder into the warm coconut milk and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast. Mix well until evenly distributed.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and erythritol until well combined.
Gradually add the cooled coconut milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth batter.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until there are no lumps, creating a smooth batter.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest for 3 hours in a warm place to allow the yeast to activate.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a round cake pan with a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Stir the batter before pouring it into the prepared cake pan.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
Slice the cake and enjoy your sugar-free Bika Ambon!
