Tools to Make Sugar Free Upside Down Cakes
Silicone Mold- These are the perfect size for the perfect personal upside down cakes.
Electric Whisk-Or use a hand mixer. Either will work for the mixing of the egg whites into stiff peaks.
Mixing Bowls-I love using glass bowls for just about everything. You can use it for double boiling or even in the microwave.

Equipment
- Silicone Mold
Ingredients
Cake
- 5 large eggs separated
- ½ cup Swerve granulated erythritol
- ½ cup almond flour
- 5 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder gluten-free
- 5 tablespoon coconut oil melted (or butter or ghee)
- 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract sugar-free
- ½ cup almond milk unsweetened
Optional Ganache
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¾ tablespoon unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 50 g dark chocolate (at least 85%)
Instructions
To Make the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 355F / 180C / 160fan.
- Beat the egg yolks and the low-carb sweetener using an electric whisk until pale in color
and light. - Place all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl (almond flour, coconut flour and
baking powder). Stir to combine. - Add the wet ingredients to the dry (coconut oil, butter or ghee, vanilla, egg yolk mix). Stir to
combine. Add the almond milk and stir. - Whisk egg whites using an electric whisk until fluffy and peaks form.
- Fold the egg whites through the batter.
- Spoon the mix into a silicone mold, leaving a little space at the top as they will rise in the
oven. I like to grease the mold with a spray of oil just in case. A silicone mold will stop the upside down cakes from sticking. - Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until you can insert and remove a tooth pick without crumbs
sticking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before popping out of the
mold and allowing to fully cool on a wire rack.
To Make the Ganache
- Heat the cream and butter on a low heat until hot (not bubbling). Turn off the heat and add
the chopped dark chocolate or sugar free dark chocolate chips and allow to stand for 3 - 5
minutes. Stir quickly with a balloon whisk until glossy and smooth. - Slice the risen top off the cakes (so they are flat) and turn upside down. Eat the cut off bit too! Spoon the ganache over the Low Carb Vanilla Upside Down Cakes and Enjoy!
Storage
- Storage: Airtight Tupperware for up to 3 days.

I made this for the first time last night and followed the directions as written. It turned out great! I cooked it in silicone mini bundt pans which worked well. Tuxture was very much like cake which surprised me because with all the eggs I was expecting it to be more eggy. Our company loved it, kids and all. Will definitely make this again. I like strong flavors so I might add a little more vanilla extract to it but that's about it.

Love your Newsletter. My challenge is my daughter is Vegan 100%. She is sugar Free, lactate intolerant and has a medical problem that makes it difficult to swallow so, no soy at all. Any suggestions for "any" kind of recipe/foods.

Hi,
Do you think that the Wilton easy flex silicon heart mold would work? It won't let me add a picture or link, sorry. This would be nice to make for my daughter's shower for those of us that don't eat regular desserts. Thanks!!

Just check the amount it can hold as opposed to the one I linked to. It will work fine, you just might need to make more than 6.
