Chec cu faina de cocos / Coconut flour pound cake

Ramasesem fara faina de migdale si imi era tare pofta de ceva pufos si keto, un chec, un pandispan acolo, la cafea :)))) Asa ca am zis sa incerc varianta cu faina de cocos. Recunosc ca imi era teama, faina de cocos e dificila, iar la o cautare similara pe google gasesti doar chestii care arata inecacios :( Cu toate acestea, checul meu chiar a iesit foarte gustos (chiar seamana la gust cu checul bunicii mele) si pufos exact cat trebuie: chec cu faina de cocos :) (10 felii a cate 3 g carbs net si 114 cal)

Ingrediente:

• 7 oua
• 50g Green Sugar Premium 1:2 (sau 100 g Green Sugar normal)
• 3 lg ulei de cocos
• 1 lgt extract de vanilie
• 1 lgt esenta de rom
• 1 lgt praf de copt
• 1/2 lgt bicarbonat de sodiu
• 50g faina de cocos
• 2 lg cacao

Separam ouale, batem albusurile spuma un praf de sare, iar cand incep sa devina spumoase, adaugam si Green Sugar, mixand in continuare pana obtinem o bezea lucioasa.

Separat amestecam galbenusurile, uleiul de cocos, romul si vanilia. Adaugam acest amestec in cel de albusuri usor, cu miscari de sus in jos, pentru a pastra cat mai mult aer in compozitie.

Adaugam faina de cocos amestecata cu praful de copt si bicarbonatul, amestecand usor, cu aceleasi miscari. Pastram cateva linguri din compozitie, pe care le amestecam cu cacao.

Turnam compozitia alba in tava tapetata cu hartie de copt, o adaugam deasupra si pe cea de cacao si marmoram usor cu un cutit sau o frigaruie. Coacem checul 35-40 de min in cuptorul preincalzit la 180C. Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION

I ran out of almond flour and I was really craving for a keto sponge cake, pounde cake or something fluffy to go with my coffee :)) So I thought I’d try the coconut flour version. I admit I was a little afraid because coconut flour is sensitive and if you google something similar you get many too dense recipes :( But my pound cake turned out with just the perfect ammount of fluffy, and so tasty, just like my grandma’s pound cake :)

Ingredients:

• 7 eggs
• 50 g concentrated stevia erithrirol (Green Sugar Premium 1:2)
• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp rum essence
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 50 g coconut flour
• 2 tbsp cocoa

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. When they get foamy, add the sweetener and beat them until they form stiff peaks.

Separately mix the egg yolks, coconut oil, rum and vanilla. Add this into the egg mixture gently, folding it in with circular movements.

Add the coconut flour, baking powder and baking soda, gently, with the same circular movements, to keep the air in the mixture, light and fluffy.

Pour the mixture in a loaf pan lined with baking paper, add most of the mixture, saving 3-4 tablesoons of it. Mix the remaining mixture with cocoa and add it to the rest. Make some circular marble movements with a skewer, then bake the cake at 18C for 35-40 min. Enjoy!
