This butter-free apple cake is described as sugar-free and is made with whole wheat flour and gets its sweetness from grated apple and mashed dates. Beating the eggs carefully is what provides the airy texture usually associated with traditional cakes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soften the dates

8 min

Soak the pitted dates in warm water for 8 minutes, until softened.

2

Make the date paste

4 min

Blend the softened dates with their soaking water until smooth.

3

Beat the eggs

4 min

Whisk the eggs until their volume has increased noticeably.

4

Add the wet ingredients

3 min

Slowly stir the olive oil and date paste into the beaten eggs.

5

Add the dry ingredients

4 min

Add the grated apple, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, then mix gently.

6

Bake

20 min

Divide the batter among muffin cups and bake in an oven preheated to 175°C / 345°F for 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Reminder

Beat the eggs thoroughly or the cake may not rise enough and could be dense. Once you add the flour, do not overmix or the air will be lost and the texture may turn firm. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and eggs.

Yumurtaları kaç dakika çırpmak yeterli oluyor, tarifte net bir süre görmedim? Ayrıca hurma yerine pekmezle de tatlandırma denediniz mi, tatlılık seviyesi çok mu değişir acaba?

Genelde hacim belirgin şekilde artıp rengi açılana kadar 4 dakika kadar sürüyor, mikserinize göre değişebilir. Pekmez de deneyebilirsiniz, tatlılığı hurmadan biraz daha yoğun olur.
