Keto Savoiardi (LadyFingers) Or Sponge Cake
Pieces 32 -34
• Ingredients:
5 / Egg whites
5 / Egg yolks
1 Tbsp / Lemon juice
70 g / Erythritol-stevia blend 1:1 or other sweetener of your choice
160 g / Almond flour
1 tsp / Homade vanilla extract
• Instructions:
1 Preheat the oven at 180°C.
2 Beat the egg whites with the juice of the lemon and the sweetener for at least 5 minutes, to make a meringue.
The mixture must have stiff peaks and chewy texture.
3 Stir in the egg yolks one by one and
continue mixing.
4 At the end add the vanilla extract and the almond flour.
5 Stir lightly with a silicon spatula, folding the mixture, to incorporate.
6 With the help of a spoon, spread spoonfuls of the mixture on the non-stick baking paper. Try to make the shapes of the savoiardi.
7 Leave gaps in between as they rise a bit during the baking time.
* Tip.
Alternativ, for a sponge cake, you can spread the whole mixture on the baking tray, taking care for the surface to have the same thickness everywhere.
After baking, you can divide into smaller pieces to the size you want.
8 Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until they're lightly golden.
9 After baking, let savoiardi cool a bit and try with a spatula to take them off the baking tray.
(Using a good quality baking paper makes this step easier).
10 Savoiardi are very light and dry cookies, that's why they're always combined with some cream or syrup to become soft and fluffy.
• Enjoy!
