Christmas Cake







Christmas is almost here, dinners with the family, friends,… and so I thought why should I be the only one not eating a nice Christmas cake? That’s why I experimented and found a good way of doing an easy and delicious lactose free Christmas cake so we can all enjoy sweet Christmas!  

Ingredients:

Base:
-       3 eggs
-       150 ml of sugar
-       ½ tea spoon of baking powder (I use: Royal)
-       3 spoons of chocolate powder (I use one without traces of lactose, Cacao – CaoBon) (you can omit it if you don’t like chocolate)
-       75g of rice flour
-       greaseproof paper

Cream
-       2 egg yolks
-       100g of soya “butter”, 100% vegetable and free lactose (I use: Provamel bio soja)
-       150g of icing sugar
-       vanilla drops


Lets get started!!  :D

Base:
1st  In a bowl add 3 eggs + sugar and mix it together until it has a creamy consistency.
Add the chocolate powder + rice flour + baking powder and mix it all together.

2nd  Now take the baking tray from the oven and put a greaseproof paper on top (we do that because we want the base to be the flattest possible).
Add the mix we did before on top of the baking tray. Cook it for 5 minutes at 220º.



3rd  When it is done, we are going to put a layer of greaseproof paper on top of the table and spread sugar on top. Take the base with the greaseproof paper stuck on it and turn it upside down.


Take the paper off of the base, leave it on top and place a kitchen towel on top of it (we do this to keep the base humid, and not let it dry, since we have to roll it later)
                                                            



Cream:
1st  In a bowl add the icing sugar + soya “butter” mix it together until it has a creamy consistency.  Add the 2 egg yolks + vanilla drops and stir until it is creamy.

IMPORTANT: If we want more cream in the cake, now is time to do this procedure 2 times. :)


The End:
Spread the cream on the base and roll the base. Finally put it in the freezer.






Hope you like it and will enjoy it too!  

Merry Christmas!! :D
