PREPARATION

Put the milk and butter in a small pot and heat at low temperature, until the butter melts. Be cautious not to overheat, just to warm it up. When ready, remove and let it sit.

In a deep bowl, put the table top sweetener isostevia® and eggs. Beat with a hand mixer until white, just as you do with common sugar. Then, add the milk and butter, which you have heated lightly. Mix with a whisk.

Now add the orange zest, ouzo and vanilla. Mix well. Put the baking powder in the flour and mix in a bowl with a spoon. Slowly add the flour into the mixture, while mixing with a whisk. Continue mixing until it becomes a thick batter. If at first it doesn’t seem thick enough, the zea flour will absorb the moisture of the mixture and will be fine, so do not worry. Now add the grated chocolate, which will give an awesome taste to the cake.

After having added the grated chocolate, mix well with a spoon. You have already preheated the oven at 180°C.

If you wish to make a big cake, prepare the baking tray by buttering it and sprinkling some flour. Pour in the cake mixture and bake for 35-40 minutes.
If you wish to make muffins (small individual cakes) prepare the specific muffin baking tray by putting paper muffin holders. Then, divide the mixture in the holders and bake for about 30 minutes.

Either you make a cake or muffins, you must be cautious if they are baked well. Do this by sticking a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is ready. If it has batter on it, then further baking time will be required.
