Mini Cakes (makes 12)
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pork rinds, coarsely chopped
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons syrup - flavor of choice or heavy cream
24 drops FTS Zero
1 teaspoon vanilla or other extract
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil the 12 wells of a whoopie pie pan.
Grind the pork rinds into a flour. In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, set aside. Beat together the liquid ingredients with a fork until well blended. Place the butter in a small bowl and microwave high until melted. Stir half the dry ingredients into the butter, then the other half. Stir half of the butter/dry ingredients into the wet until smooth, then the other half.
Spoon into the wells. Bake 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan immediately. Let cool before frosting. Frost with frosting of your choice. Keep refrigerated.
