No Added Sugar Desserts: Cakes, Cheesecakes, Mille-Feuille and Artisan Loaf Cakes
If you're looking for no added sugar desserts in Barcelona, it's important to know that not every recipe is adapted in the same way. We don't use one universal sweetener for every cake. Each sponge, tart, cheesecake and cream is adjusted individually to preserve its original texture and flavour.
Instead of refined sugar, we use erythritol and stevia. Some recipes are naturally sweetened only with fruit and contain no added sugar or sweeteners at all.
How We Prepare Our No Added Sugar Cakes
Every recipe requires a different approach.
-
Sponge cakes are baked with erythritol to keep them soft and moist.
-
Creams are sweetened with erythritol or stevia depending on the recipe.
-
Fruit fillings are made from natural fruit purée with pectin or agar-agar and only a small amount of stevia when needed.
-
Cream cheese fillings and cheesecakes can be made with erythritol, stevia, or almost without sweeteners by combining cream cheese and mascarpone.
Our goal is to highlight the natural flavour of fruit, nuts, chocolate and citrus instead of making desserts excessively sweet.

Classic Cakes Without Added Sugar
Sara Cake
Our Sara cake is prepared with sponge cake baked with erythritol and whipped cream sweetened with erythritol or stevia. It keeps the same light, traditional flavour with much less sweetness.
Napoleon Cake
Our Napoleon cake is also available without added sugar. The pastry cream is prepared with stevia, and the pastry dough is adapted with erythritol or stevia while preserving its classic texture.
No Added Sugar Tarts
Our shortcrust pastry already contains very little sugar, so we simply replace it with stevia without changing the texture.

Strawberry Cheesecake Tart. Cheesecake filling sweetened with stevia, sugar-free pastry, and a strawberry layer made from fruit and agar-agar with a small amount of stevia.

No Added Sugar Mille-Feuille
Our mille-feuille is also available without added sugar. The pastry cream is prepared with erythritol while keeping the same silky texture as the traditional recipe.

What Does “No Added Sugar” Mean?
It means we do not add refined sugar during preparation. Some desserts still contain naturally occurring sugars from fruit and other ingredients.
Does It Taste Different?
In most recipes, the difference is barely noticeable. In some creams or delicate sponge cakes, the texture may change slightly, so we adapt each recipe individually.
Important Information About Erythritol
When a recipe contains more than 10% erythritol, European regulations require a notice stating that excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. We always include this information whenever it applies.
