Ingredients
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 125 grams granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 12 fresh raspberries (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated erythritol together using an electric hand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4
Add in the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cakes light.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cases, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
For optional decoration, place a fresh raspberry on top of each cake before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free fairy cakes with a cup of tea or coffee.
