\"\"I thought, only Germans could bake cakes with four (or more) eggs in it. My German Cheesecake<\/a> is the only cake so far on this blog that uses\u00a0 FOUR eggs. Whenever I saw a recipe that calls for more than two eggs, I used to get suspicious.<\/div>\n

But why actually? Why do eggs have such a bad reputation? I love my eggs these days, more than ever. I blame my marathon training and increased protein demands of my body. Apart from that, they are simply delicious: they make lovely cakes, you can throw almost everything into an omelette, which makes a good and satisfying meal at any time of the day. So what’s the bad stuff in it?<\/p>\n

None, really. When the high cholesterol panic surfaced about a decade ago, eggs were considered the bad boys, because they naturally contain high levels of cholesterol. However, they are very low in saturated fats. Saturated fats, together with the trans-fats are the main reason for high cholesterol levels. Consuming eggs may help you keep you cholesterol levels in check. Eggs are a good source of vitamin A, E and K. Egg yolks are one of few foods that naturally contain vitamin D. Other nutrients, such as iron, folate, and vitamin B12 can be found in eggs. The protein found in eggs is considered one of the best quality proteins. Eggs also contain choline, a nutrient that provides brain health and prevents heart disease.<\/p>\n

All good things, right? Now if eggs are combined with low-carb coconut flour, almond meal, honey and an array of spices that will bring Gingerbread smells to your house, you can dig in and be sure you are eating something that tastes absolutely delicious AND is good for you.<\/p>\n

I love Christmas baking. This is one of the moistest and tastiest cake, gluten-free and with ingredients good enough to be eaten for breakfast. My staple cake for this year’s Christmas get-togethers.
