Lava Almond and Lemon Cake Reviews Date of last review 2 Sun June 14, 2009 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 9.5 Description: Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups slivered almonds -- blanched 8 tablespoons artificial sweetener -- splenda (I tried this once with Equal and it was not anywhere near as nice) 4 large eggs -- separated 5 teaspoons grated lemon peel 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) 1 Pinch salt 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar Butter How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 375ˇF. Butter a 9-inch-diameter cake pan. Line bottom and sides of pan with waxed paper and butter the paper. Finely grind almonds with 2 tablespoons splenda in food processor. Combine yolks, 2 tablespoons splenda, lemon peel, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in almond mixture. Using clean beaters, beat egg whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 4 tablespoons splenda and cream of tartar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold large spoonful of whites into almond mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. Transfer batter to pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, approx 35 minutes. Cool in pan on rack. Turn out onto platter. Remove waxed paper. Garnish as desired. Don't forget to factor in whipped cream carbs if you decide to top it off this way. With whipped cream and shaved lemon peel this is a dessert you can serve to non-low carbers with rave reviews. Also nice with thawed frozen unsweetened raspberries blended up with a bit or no-carb raspberry syrup, and then strained to remove the pips. When thoroughly cooled this also slices easily into 3 layers to make a torte style cake filled with whipped cream, toasted flaked almonds, etc. Great birthday cake substitute.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great texture. Good taste. Cons: none I put in 5 tablespoons of lemon rind instead of 5 teaspoons for a more lemony taste and it was great. I did think the recipe was odd when making but it all made since when finshed. great with low carb vanilla ice cream.
