Magic Apple Orange Cake

CAKE:

8 eggs, beaten
3 oranges (juice and rind)
1/6 cup green Stevia powder
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 cups dessicated coconut
1 cup pecan meal
1/2 cup organic maize flour
1 passionfruit
1/2 cup melted coconut oil, lukewarm
3 tsp bicarb soda

Preheat oven. Gas 175 degrees centigrade on centre shelf.
Mix beaten eggs, juice and 3 tsp rind in together.
Sift in fine, dry ingredients.
Mix in coarser ingredients.
Finally, add the coconut oil.
Pour into greased cake tin and cover with aluminium foil for around 30mins.
Remove foil without leaving oven door open long and leave until firm and dark golden.

ICING:

1 cup cold pressed coconut oil
Orange rind, to taste
2 tabs raw honey

Get the oil to a mushy texture (it will go hard in cold or runny in warm, but try not to heat above 45 degrees celcius or it kills all the good things in the oil which is anti bacterial, antimicrobial and lots of anti things). Mix with the rind and honey and cover the cake when it has COOLED. Do not apply to warm cake or it will melt and won't look pretty and icing like. Tastes sooo yummy this stuff...

This cake does not actually contain Apples, but is so named after my fave vegetarian restaurant, because this cake reminds me of it. I was really impressed by the texture of this grain free cake (it does have some corn flour - is corn a grain?) Anyway, it is yummy and low GI too. I used Stevia as the main sweetener. Green stevia powder is a wholefood and essentially raw because it is just dehydrated Stevia herb all ground up. It is about 10 times sweeter than sugar but has a Glycemic Index of 0. Which means it won't give you a sugar high and mess with your pancreas/ insulin levels or be converted into fat in your body. Don't confuse it with processed Stevia, which I won't eat because it is so processed it is bound to be terribly bad for you...
