Sugar Free Cupcakes

Bonjour! Long time no blogging. Without internet it's quite hard to keep up a blog, but that's all behind me now. Internet is here and working - and so am i! So for my first article back in a while i thought i'd share a recipe with you guys. Both my dad and my father in law are diabetic. We had a family meal the other day, so of course i had to have a play around with a diabetic cake. I found cupcakes work best because sugar free (diabetic) cakes don't rise like a normal cake. They look flat and i find they don't look very appetizing.

For those who have never baked with 'fake' sugar, you should know that it's extremely light! It's hard to adapt a recipe because of this. A tub of false sugar has around 250g but if you pour it into a bowl and weigh it you won't get 250g of sugar. I hope that made sense. Anyway this is why i love this recipe because there is no weighing. This recipe is adapted from a 'normal' cake called a yogurt cake. So instead of using grams and scales, we are going to use the yogurt pot to dose our ingredients. So lets get straight into it!

For this recipe you will need :

* 1 plain yogurt

* Three pots of flour
* Two pots of stevia (fake sugar)
* Half a pot of oil
* Three eggs
* One sachet of baking powder
* One block of chocolate (over 70% cocoa)

The best thing about this recipe is how easy it is. Pop all your ingredients in a bowl and mix them up. Take your block of chocolate, cut it up with a knife. Then place it in a bowl and sprinkle flour then mix (this will stop your chocolate from sinking to the bottom!) Then mix the chocolate and the cake mixture. Place in cup cake cases. Put in the oven for 20 minutes at 180°C. And there you have it : a sugar free chocolate cupcake.

Until then bisous!
