Since there might be a slight connection between sugar intake and tooth decay, and I've logged plenty of hours in the dentist's chair, I've decided to try some baking with stevia. I've had it in drinks before, and find the taste takes a bit of getting used to. So for my first official stevia-bake I mixed it up with rice sirup, an excellent sweetener which does not pull nutrients from your body like sugar does, but in fact has minerals and such.
The result was actually good, I was pleasantly surprised. I still had to have a tooth worked on today, though.
Here's what I used, I started out with a tiny cake to see how it would turn out:
125 g speltflour
30 g rice sirup
1 g green stevia powder
40 g organic margarine
1 tablespoon of soyflour + 2 tablespoons of cold water = substitute for 1 egg
vanilla powder or extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
soy-rice milk as needed
a dash of salt
tart canned cherries
Mix the ingredients except the fruit together, place dough in a small pan or on a cookie sheet. Place cherries on top. Bake in a 175 degrees Celsius oven for approximately 25 minutes.
The cake on the left is the one with stevia, to the right is the control group I baked with raw sugar, in case the experiment turned awful.
