Yield: 9 squares
Ingredients
- 210-250g canned jackfruit in unsalted water (drained - net weight) (U.S. option HERE)
- 20g powdered erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- 80g unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs (230g net weight)
- 70g granulated erythritol (U.S. option HERE)
- ¼ tsp pure stevia powder (U.S. option HERE)
- 100g whipping cream
- 2ml (40 drops) banana flavouring (U.S. option HERE)
- 60g fine coconut flour (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- (optional) Sukrin icing 'sugar' (U.S. option HERE) or confectioner Swerve (U.S. option HERE), or Make your Own.
Instructions
- drain the jackfruit, pull the pieces apart, discard any stray seeds, and put them in a small saucepan together with 40g of the butter and the powdered erythritol; cook on medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes (until very little juice remains); set aside to cool down.
- pre-heat oven to 160° fan (175° static).
- whisk eggs until foamy, pale and doubled in volume; add granulated erythritol + stevia and whisk again to obtain a smooth, creamy mixture.
- melt the remaining 40g butter and leave it to cool for a couple of minutes.
- back to the eggs mix: add whipping cream and banana extract, and whisk again; drizzle in the melted, cooled butter as you continue to whisk; incorporate the sifted coconut flour and baking powder; then fold in the jackfruit pieces, juices included.
- pour the cake batter into a square-ish silicone mould (mine measures 18cm x 19cm internally - 7" x 7.4") and flatten it with the back of a spoon, without pressing down.
- bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until you see a lovely, golden-brown crust.
- once completely cooled, cut into 9 squares and enjoy, with or without a dusting of icing 'sugar'.
Notes
Dusting with icing 'sugar' isn't necessary, but it does make it look more like cake and less like bread with pieces of ham inside.
If you can buy Morrisons Shredded Jackfruit in water, the macros will change to just 1.3g net carbs per 1/9th slice.
No refrigeration required, although I find that it tastes better when chilled.
