LC Lemon Custard Cake

First, I must apologize for the poor pics..the lighting was not the best... I got the inspiration for this cake from Yahoo. The recipe was sponsored by Splenda butI changed it almost entirely.. that is the ingredients are very diferent than the original.. Overall taste I am happy with.. but I wish the cake was less dense and lighter rather than pound cake like..I will continue to tinker to perfect this as I think it will become one of my favorite healthy desserts!!!!

Ingredients for Cake
1 cup of coconut flour
1 cup of your favorite sweetener ( I used Lan Guo)
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 coconut oil
10 eggs beaten
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp lemon rind
1/4 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice or 1/2 tsp lemon extract

Cake Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2) Combine coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3) stir in coconut milk, eggs, lemon juice or extract, and lemon rind on low speed.
4) pour evenly into 2 8" round baking pans
5) bake for 25 -30 minutes cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then move to wire racks to cool completely


Ingredients for Custard
6eggs
1 large can (16 oz) of coconut milk
2 T of lemon rind
1/2 cup of Bob's Sugarless Margarita Mix
Juice of 4 lemons
2 T of butter
1 cup of sweetener
1/4 tsp xanthum gum

1) mix the wet ingredients and xanthum together pour into a double boiler and bring the mixture to an almost boil...LOL
2) beat the eggs in a seperate bowl and add the hot liquid mixture to the eggs while stiring constantly to temper the eggs.. repeat several times then add the egg mixture back to the double boiler and and stir cosntantly until you get you desired consistency...will set up more as it cools..

Ingredients for Frosting
1 1/2 cup whipping cream
2 T sweetener
1 tsp lemon rind
1/4 tsp lemon extract

1) mix all the ingredients together and whip to very stiff peaks

To put it all together: spread teh lemon custard evenly between the cake layers. Cover the layers in whip cream and Enjoy!!

* I just ate another piece of this cake after letting it sit in the fridge for 24 hours.. WOW! 24 hours changed the texture to a cheese cake consistency..I don't know which is better before or after 24 hours..try it and tell me which way is better :)

will get the directions up asap...have to go for now..LOL
