Scale
Fruit & Dairy
- 2 apples (grated or finely chopped)
- 2 eggs
- 50g melted butter
- 50g raisins (natural sweetness!)
Dry Ingredients
- 90g all-purpose flour
- 5g baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Flavorings
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
- Add Apples and Raisins: Stir in the grated apples and raisins, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the batter.
- Add Melted Butter: Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix again until well combined with the other ingredients.
- Sift the Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the wet mixture to avoid lumps, then gently stir until the batter is smooth.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into a baking dish lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon on top prior to baking for added flavor. Serve and enjoy your healthy, guilt-free apple cake.
Notes
- Using grated apples rather than chopped ensures the cake remains moist.
- Optionally sprinkle cinnamon on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Make sure the butter is melted but not hot when adding to avoid cooking the eggs.
- The cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
