🍴 How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Make the Apple Purée Blend 2 chopped apples until smooth and creamy.
💡 For extra flavour, leave some apple bits for a chunkier texture.
Step 2: Combine with Eggs In a mixing bowl, whisk the apple purée with 2 eggs until fully combined.
💡 Use room temperature eggs to avoid clumping.
Step 3: Prepare the Oat Flour Blend 1 cup (100 g) of oat flakes into a fine flour.
💡 Use gluten-free oats if needed.
Step 4: Mix the Batter Add the oat flour and 1 tsp baking powder to the apple-egg mixture. Mix well.
💡 Let the batter sit for 5 minutes — oats will absorb moisture and fluff up.
Step 5: Bake the Cake Grease a round 8-inch (20 cm) baking pan. Pour in the batter and smooth the surface. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes.
💡 Insert a toothpick — it should come out clean when it’s ready.
Step 6: Prepare the Topping Melt 30 g of sugar-free white chocolate and mix it with 1½ tbsp of yogurt until smooth.
💡 You can also use dark chocolate or skip topping for ultra-light version.
Step 7: Assemble and Decorate Spread the topping over the cooled cake and sprinkle with 30 g of ground almonds.
💡 Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.
