Can Magic Sauce Be Made with Sugarlesse™?

What a rhetorical question! Or is it?

Now that, presumably, I have your attention, let me tell you how excited we are to be able to work with Renee and magic sauce MEDIA!

If you haven’t heard about her and her company, it’s only because her roots and clients are in high-tech and Silicon Valley, not in the food business - till now.

Ray Kurzweil is my favorite author / inventor/ entrepreneur (my family and friends are sick and tired of hearing from me that the the singularity is already here - well, at least in a few instances). More importantly, his high praise of Renee and her team is telling!

“Blodgett knows her way around the influential blogosphere and social network scene. Incredibly apt at connecting with old and new influencer leaders and effective in creating and delivering a resonant message, their programs cut through the noise to build the level of buzz and mindshare necessary for ideas — and organizations — to achieve rapid success.”

Enough said….

While we do not have Renee’s magic sauce recipe, we can certainly personalize and customize ours for her and magic sauce MEDIA. So we have and the pictures below show the results.

In case you wonder where Renee’s picture on the complimentary truffles below comes from, it is from a video on her YouTube Channel.

Do you happen to be too busy to take off for a vacation or need inspiration? I am. Blogging the world with her and her team is the next best thing, through her globe-trotting blog, www.weblogtheworld.com. Her Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest pages are entertaining and inspiring too!

Fragrant Homey Apple Cake with Sugarlesse™

8/4/2013

Cinnamon, apples, and caramelizing sugar—the aromas swirled through our house, making it a cozy refuge from the world. My new recipe smelled very good, that much I knew. But did taste as amazing as it smelled?

Yes! It did, although I did not use sugar. Instead I opted for Sugarlesse™. I was so happy to see that it browned just as sugar would, with 25% less calories to boot. I had been trying to bake with other sugar substitutes. For example, Stevia. I love stevia for sweetening puddings, sour fruit concoctions, yogurt, etc, but I only need a very small amount. This poses a problem when you want the structure that sugar provides, its satisfying flavor, and its ability to caramelize.

I bit into the fragrant, golden morsel on my fork. Depth of flavor and comfort greeted my tongue. The tender, unsweetened apples sang in chorus with the buttery pastry. The textures were united in one of those rare and fortunate marriages that can stand the test of time.

Another thing I loved about my Apple Cake is that it did not give me gas afterwards. Unfortunately, sugar substitutes like Maltitol creates a warlike scenario in my intestines of explosive proportions. Other sugar substitutes that contain Sorbitol, Xylitol, or other sugar alcohols have been shown to have unwelcome side-effects too. I didn’t feel any discomfort from Sugarlesse™.

This recipe is nutritious, as it contains 5 eggs. Therefore there is enough protein in it to be a meal in itself, with your beverage of choice. I leave the skins on the apples for added texture. They are very tender because you start the recipe by sautéing the apples.

Ingredients

Apple mixture
6-7 apples
3 tablespoons butter
¼ lemon
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon mace or allspice
1 tablespoon vanilla

Batter
1−3/4 cups Sugarlesse™
5 extra large eggs
2 cups sifted unbleached flour.
1 stick of salted butter, soft or semi-liquid

Cake pan
Cooking spray
Fine breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350⁰F. Coat a 9” x 11” cake pan with cooking spray then lightly dust greased pan with fine breadcrumbs.

Apples
Core 6-7 apples. Cut them into even chunks. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice or mace and toss. Melt butter in frying pan and sauté apples until al dente - they will cook more in the oven later, so you don’t want them to turn to mush.

Batter
Blend soft or semi-liquid butter and Sugarlesse™ together until creamed. Add eggs, one at a time, while beating. Add vanilla. Add flour ½ cup at a time and continue to beat at high speed until batter becomes smooth.

Fold sautéed apples into the batter and pour all into cake pan. Lightly cover pan with foil and bake for ½ hour at 350⁰F. Take the foil off and continue to bake for another 45 minutes uncovered.

Preparation time: 25 minutes.
Baking time: 1 and ¼ hours.

Yield: 10 servings

Will we add this recipe to the * Made with Sugarlesse™ * Recipe Collection? What a question? It will go right into the next edition!
