This cake was given to me by my sister Saira who lives in Turkey. I was looking for a light cake which would satisfy my sweet tooth and also reduce the fat content a bit - no I am not a health freak but like to try lighter versions as they leave me satisfied and feeling less guilty!
Serves 6 generous slices
Ingredients
3 oz sugar
4 oz plain or all purpose flour
4 tbsp low fat yoghurt
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
3-4 hard apples peeled, cored and sliced (thick or thin - it's up to you)
1 small cup raisins
Method
 |
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees (160 for fan oven) |
|
Grease and line an 8 inch loose bottom cake tin. |
|
Beat sugar and eggs with vanilla until the mixture becomes light and fluffy |
|
Add the flour and beat well. Add yoghurt and beat for a couple of minutes till the mixture is smooth. |
|
Put sliced apples and raisins and mix together. Pour the mixture into prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes or until firm to touch. |
|
Serve warm with a nice hot cup of tea! |
Note: The mixture will be wet so don't worry about it. If the mixture looks runny, just add some more flour before adding the fruit. This cake is good warm or cold but always refrigerate once cooled and it will keep for two days.
As with any of the recipes featured in my website, you can experiment and add or remove ingredients, but try to keep the apples in otherwise it will not be an apple cake anymore!
