Apple and Sultana Cake – a light healthier cake with fresh apples, sultanas and a hint of spices.
Ingredients
- 1 small apple, peeled chopped (stewed without sugar)
- 100g of plain (all purpose) flour
- 5 tbs of sukrin gold (or use another Erythritol based sweetener)
- 1.5 tsp of baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 20g of sultanas
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 6 tbs of fat free plain yoghurt
- cooking oil spray
- Icing sugar, to dust (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c or 350f
- Grease a large round sponge cake tin with coconut oil spray
- Stew apple in a little water for a few mins, you want it to still have a slight bite to it and not be a puree, chop finely and set aside in a bowl to cool.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Separate the yolks from the egg. Then add the vanilla extract to the egg yolks, along with the sukrin, and yoghurt. Whisk until you have a smooth paste.
- Add this into the flour mix and combine until smooth.
- In another bowl whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Then carefully fold this into the rest of the cake mixture, until ingredients are combined (be careful not to over mix).
- Fold in the apple and sultanas.
- Add to the oven and bake for approx 45 mins (a skewer entered into the centre should come out clean)
- When the cake is ready, remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the cake tin. Remove carefully from tin, slice into 6 equal size slices and it is ready to serve.
