Diabetic German Chocolate Cake Icing Recipes

SUGAR FREE GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Start by prepping your cake pans well for nonstick (I use two methods for this- parchment paper cut to size and grease or spray over it) and preheat your oven to 325.
• Sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set this bowl aside.
• Next, we will melt together the unsweetened chocolate with the water. You can do this in a microwave (stopping to stir every 30 seconds until melted) or over a low heat on the stove (stirring continuously).
• In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar alternative the butter. Set the mixer on low and add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing between additions. Then add the vanilla extract to the bowl. Next we will add the cooled melted chocolate mixture and the flour mixture adding half of each at a time, alternating additions, and mixing between additions. (ie. 1/2 chocolate, mix, 1/2 flour, mix, repeat). Then you can add the buttermilk and mix gently.
• For the next step, we will need clean mixer beaters and a new mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer is one way to get around having to find an additional bowl to fit your stand mixer. This is where we will beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then, folks these stiff peaked egg whites into the bowl with the cake batter.
• Bake this cake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

SUGAR FREE GERMAN CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Use a small saucepan (2 quart is a good size) for this recipe. In that saucepan, whisk together the sugar alternative, butter, evaporate milk, and egg yolks. Then place the saucepan on low to medium heat. Whisk or stir constantly while this mixture heats up. When it begins to thicken and turn brown, about 10-12 minutes.
• Remove the frosting from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Allow this to cool before using. This should be enough frosting for a two layered German Chocolate Cake. Please refrigerate the frosting and the frosted cake.
