Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 125 grams granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 12 fresh raspberries (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated erythritol together using an electric hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cakes light.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For optional decoration, place a fresh raspberry on top of each cake before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free fairy cakes with a cup of tea or coffee.
