Healthy Cake Pop Recipe

Hello! This post is a little late because I've been trying to play around with my blogs template with little success (sigh), but better late than never right?! So recently me and my sisters have wanted to bake something a little bit healthier than normal- so we opted for a sugar free sponge, with the only sugar being in the dark chocolate glaze. On that note does anyone have any recipes for a sugar free cake pop covering/dipping sauce? The recipe is not my own but I've tweaked it slightly as it is originally for fairy cakes, but the best thing about it is that you can change it to suit your tastes and what you want :)
It's super simple and uses most ingredients you find in your cupboard. I bet you're thinking stop babbling and get on with it, so here goes;




First thing you will need to do before anything else is add the lemon juice to the milk and let it sit together for five minutes before you start the rest of the recipe- p.s. maybe now is a good time to chuck on your favourite song and preheat your oven to 180'c/ 350'f.



Numero twooo, blend your eggs and stevia, I found it easier to use an electric whisk on a low setting. male sure you do it for five minutes, boring I know but the music should ease the pain!






Now it's about time to chuck in all of the flour (I added two extra tablespoon as i found the mixture a little gooey when cooked- but do whatever floats your boat), almond meal, baking powder, vanilla (the recipe originally said one teaspoon but I found two was better), butter (softened), and sour cream/yogurt. oh and of course give it a big stir.


By now you probably think I've forgotten about the funny milk mixture from the beginning? well now's about right to tip it in the cooking pot! - stir gently at this point.




It is now the fun part! pour you mix into the cake pop molds (I found a syringe easier to dispense for less mess). Cook in the oven for 18-20 minutes until the skewer pressed in the middle of the cake to see if it cooks comes out clean. Let it cool before decorating and pushing in your pop sticks, I used melted dark chocolate, but feel free to use whatever you want i.e. icing, candy melts, white chocolate sprinkles etc.

I hope you enjoy making these, but most importantly I hope you enjoy eating these!
