Diet ring cake with clementine smoothie. Today I present a soft cake full of vitamin C, fresh, light, and never dry, it will give you the right boost for your breakfast or snack.
Ideal for both adults and children, it is made without butter and with a sweetener, which you can replace with sugar if you prefer.
For the flour, I used 00, but you can mix it 50% with whole wheat flour or use one with a low glycemic index.
The texture of this cake is very different from what you’re used to; it’s halfway between a sponge cake and a pudding.
You’ll find both the traditional and Bimby procedures.
