(3) Low Carb Cinnamon Bundt Cake

Non-stick Spray Or Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, For Greasing Your Pan

4. In another large bowl, combine the eggs and the erythritol and beat with an electric mixer until almost white and really fluffy. This usually takes several minutes depending on how powerful of a mixer you have.

6. Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan.
7. Bake for roughly 40 minutes, or until a stick inserted into the center of the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
8. Remove it from oven and let cake cool in the pan then remove it from the pan and cut into slices.
9. Serve as such, or top with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese icing (count extra carbs if needed). Sprinkle some extra cinnamon on top.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook ham in 1 teaspoon of the hot oil over medium-high heat 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove ham; set aside.
In the same large saucepan cook sweet pepper and garlic in the remaining 1 teaspoon hot oil 3 minutes. Stir in potatoes, broth, and crushed red pepper. Bring to boiling over high heat; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes or just until potatoes are tender.
