SPELT SPONGE with APRICOTS

I love summer! There are so many varieties of fruits and vegetables that I can not decide what to make first...

SPELT SPONGE with APRICOT

// Original recipe comes from here //

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 organic eggs
• 50g  xylitol
• pinch of sea salt
• 120g of melted butter
• 100g spelt flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 500g apricots (cut in half or wedges)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line round baking tray (about 20 cm) with parchment paper.

Melt butter in a saucepan and leave on the side to cool down.

Separate egg whites and yolks. First beat whites until stiff and leave aside. Then beat yolks with sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted butter to yolk mixture and then sift flour and add baking powder. Mix gently using spatula. The last step is to fold slowly egg whites into the flour mixture.

Pour batter onto baking tray. Arrange pieces of apricots on the top (peel facing downward).

Bake for about 30 mins until golden brown on the top. Take out from the oven and leave to cool.

SPELT PANCAKES with ELDERFLOWER

Last year I made elderflower syrup. Last month I tried pancakes with elderflower at Cafe Museum in Cieszyn. And I decided to make my own version of these delicious things :)

SPELT PANCAKES with ELDERFLOWER / Makes 8


INGREDIENTS:

• 8 twigs of elderflower
• 1/2 l almond milk
• 1 organic egg
• 1 pack of brown sugar with real vanilla
• pinch of sea salt
• 8 TBS spelt flour (or any other)
• coconut oil or olive oil for frying
• 1 TBS powdered xylitol

METHOD:

Beat lightly egg with milk in a medium bowl. Then add flour, vanilla sugar and sea salt and mix all ingredients very well. Heat the oil on the frying pan. When hot, dip one bunch of elderflower in batter at a time and place on the pan. You can pour a little more batter to cover all surface of the frying pan. 

Cut off green stalks using scissors and fry pancakes on both sides until golden brown. Place on plate, leave for a minute, sprinkle with powdered xylitol and serve warm. 

You can also serve them with fresh strawberries or fresh strawberry sauce!

RICOTTA CHEESECAKE

I think you know already that I love cheesecake.

This time I made very healthy one. Firstly, I wanted to make shortbread base for my cheesecake. Unfortunately, I had a small accident in my kitchen and all prepared dough was dropped into the sink. So I decided to make it without the base. 

RICOTTA CHEESECAKE


INGREDIENTS:

• 750g ricotta
• 3/4 cup of xylitol
• 1 cane sugar with real vanilla 
• 3 eggs
• 3 TBS potato flour
• 3 TBS spelt flour
• lemon zest
• 200g organic natural yoghurt 

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 160C. Line round baking tray (about 22cm) with parchment paper. 

Mix ricotta with xylitol and vanilla sugar in big bowl using electric mixer. Then add eggs, lemon zest and both flours. At the end add yoghurt. 

Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour using 3D hot air function in your oven.

When ready, turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside to cool, leaving the door ajar. Then place it in the fridge for minimum 1 hour before serving.
