So, this is my first attempt at making desserts since going on the LCHF diet. This particular recipe is taken from Hembakat Nr 2, 2012, Page 41.
Through making these cupcakes, I have come to the conclusion that I prefer Stevia Strö over Sukrin. I tasted the batter whilst I was making it, the recipe called for...OMG I've just reread the recipe! I got it wrong...hahaha. It asked for Sötrix/Sukrin Flor, which is like the icing sugar version of the sweetener. That's what I get for not reading the recipe properly! So, I'm going to have to hold judgement on the Sötrix/Stevia debate for now. That said, at least when comparing the "sugar like" versions, Stevia wins for me. I wondered why my icing wasn't looking so smooth...now I know!
Anyway, these taste okay on a whole. My husband felt that it tasted too much like sweetener, and not in a good way. That said, considering the sweetener mistake that I just noticed, it may actually be better the next time I make them. But that may be a while coming because there are so many other recipes that I wanna try! As the original recipe is in Swedish, I will be nice and have it in both languages, just in case there are any Swedes that read this blog.
