Tagatesse sugar free sponge cake with tagatose

Excellent home-made-like sponge cake - it tastes like a freshly baked grandma's cake. Delicate, light, moist and aromatic cake is sweetened not with sugar but with tagatose - thanks to this, one piece of this cake has about 100kcal and less than 2g of sugar, most of which is tagatose, therefore it is a perfect form of sweet treat for a person following a diet based on low glycemic index or generally low-sugar diet.

Since tagatose has about 70% less calories than white sugar, sweetened sugars are less caloric than their sugar counterparts. Sweetened with sweet potato tagatose, they are characterized by natural sweetness - they are suitable for people who are hypersensitive to the taste of stevia or xylitol in sweets, because sweeties with tagatose taste the same as those with ordinary sugar. At the same time, tagatose is characterized by an extremely low glycemic index IG3 - thanks to this it is suitable for people on a diet that requires constant control of blood sugar levels.

What is tagatose?

The secret of the sweet sweet taste of Damhert lies in the use of tagatose patented in Belgium obtained from cow's milk (as a result of the synthesis tagatose is free of milk allergens and does not contain milk proteins), a sweetener safe for diabetics because its consumption does not cause a rapid increase in blood glucose. In terms of chemicals, tagatose is a simple sugar with 6 carbon bonds and thus a fructose-like structure. The sweetness of tagatose is similar to sugar and amounts to as much as 92% of the sweetness of white table sugar, however, its calorific value is many times lower - which results from the biggest advantage of tagatosis: it is almost not metabolised by the human body. The other big advantage of tagatose compared to polyols (eg xylitol, sorbitol, etc.) is that it does not cause diarrhea or bloating.
