demi has some great recipes.. i used about 2 TBS orange peel but it didnt taste very orange-ish.. i used orange flavor instead of extract though so maybe thats why..

Recipe Name: Orange Soured Cream Cakes

5 Ounce Butter
6 Tblsp splenda
4 Large Eggs
Finely grated zest of a large orange
1 Tsp. orange extract
1/2 Cup Sour cream
6 Ounce ground almonds
1 Tsp. Baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4, and then lightly butter a 12-hole muffin pan.

Cream the butter and the Splenda. Add the eggs one at a time, beating each one in well, then mix in the orange zest, orange extract, baking powder and soured cream, before beating in the ground almonds.

Divide the mixture between the holes in the muffin pan, and then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until firm to the touch.



Just an idea: demi also mixed some of the juice from the orange with some cream cheese and Splenda to make a topping for the cakes

I used orange peel.. 2 TBS had 3 carbs with 1 fiber.. TOTAL carbs on these came to 53 - 19 fiber = 34 divided into 6 big muffins is about 5.7 net carbs each..

they came out really good just not orangey enough
