| Mediterranean Diet, Recipe

Ingredients (for 1 small cake / 4 servings)

3 large eggs
¼ cup almond flour (or finely ground oats for slightly higher carb)
2–3 tbsp erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1–2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate version

Instructions

Preheat oven:
- 350°F (175°C). Grease a small 6-inch (15 cm) round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter/coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add dry ingredients:
- Stir in almond flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, salt, and optional cocoa powder. Mix gently until fully combined.
Bake:
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly and serve:
- Let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve. It will be soft, moist, and almost melt-in-your-mouth.

Tips

For extra moistness, add 2 tbsp Greek yogurt to the batter.
Can top with a few sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a dusting of cinnamon.
Perfect for a quick dessert or snack without spiking blood sugar.
