Easy nut and cocoa cake

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 6 eggs
• 230 g xylitol (sugar substitute)
• 250 g spelt flour
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• ½ pack of baking powder
• 150 g nuts, ground
• 100 g cocoa powder, instant
• 125 ml oil
• 125 ml water
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

Separate the eggs and beat until stiff peaks form (with a pinch of salt). Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the nuts (or almonds) and cocoa powder, the flour mixed with the baking powder, and add the oil and water (a pinch of cinnamon is also available, if desired). Mix everything well, then fold in the egg whites. Pour the mixture into a greased or lined pan (approx. 25 x 35 cm). Bake at approximately 170 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 35-40 minutes (test with a toothpick). Everyone loves this cake; it’s so easy to make; even children can make it (almost) on their own. The ingredients can be varied according to taste—for example, fewer nuts and more cocoa powder. The order in which the ingredients are added to the egg yolk and sugar mixture doesn’t matter; the egg whites come last. If you like, you can sprinkle the cake with sugar, drizzle with chocolate glaze, or serve with whipped cream.
