In this recipe, we don't use refined flours or sugar: only functional ingredients that support your metabolism and help you stay in ketosis.
✅ Low-Carb Plumcake Ingredients (for 8 servings)
- 350 ml egg whites (≈ 10–11 egg whites)
- 200 g full-fat Greek yogurt (no added sugar)
- 50–60 g erythritol (adjust to taste: raspberries already provide sweetness)
- 100 g raspberries – half whole, half coarsely broken
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (≈ 1.5 g)
- Juice of half a lemon
🥣 Method
- Whip the egg whites: In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until very stiff with the lemon juice and erythritol. They should be shiny and firm.
- Combine yogurt and flavorings: Add the Greek yogurt to the whipped egg whites, mixing gently from bottom to top so as not to deflate the mixture. Incorporate the cinnamon, which will give the plumcake fragrance and warmth.
- Add the raspberries: Pour the raspberries into the batter: half whole, half broken. This will give a marbled effect and a tart touch that contrasts the sweetness.
- Baking: Transfer to a 20 cm low-carb plumcake pan lined with parchment paper. Do not fill it to the brim: leave at least 2 fingers of space. Bake in a preheated static oven at 170°C for 40–45 minutes. Check with a skewer.
- Cooling: Let it cool completely before unmolding and slicing. You can store it in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
