Sugar-free apple olive oil cake gets its sweetness from whole wheat flour and grated apple, with mashed dates standing in for added sugar, and no butter at all. Carefully whipping the eggs alone provides the airiness that sugar and butter would normally give a classic cake.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soften the dates

8 min

Soak the pitted dates in lukewarm water and let them soften for 8 minutes.

2

Make the date paste

4 min

Blend the softened dates with their soaking water into a smooth paste.

3

Whip the eggs

4 min

Whisk the eggs with an electric beater until the volume noticeably increases.

4

Fold in the wet ingredients

3 min

Gently fold the olive oil and date paste into the whipped eggs.

5

Add the dry ingredients

4 min

Add the grated apple, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, folding gently to combine.

6

Bake

20 min

Divide the batter into muffin tins and bake in an oven preheated to 175°C for 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Reminder

If you do not whip the eggs enough, the cake will not rise properly and stays dense. Do not overmix once the flour goes in — you will knock the air out and the texture will turn tough. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you use dried apricots instead of dates, the sweetness will be a touch lighter; in that case, a few minutes less soaking time is enough.

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.
