Ingredients

Let’s see what we need to make the recipe

  • 1/4 cup sugar (if you prefer more sweetness you can go up to 1/3 cup)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 lemon zest (grated)
  • 1 oz raisins
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (or seed oil if you prefer)
  • 1 3/4 cups oat flour (whole wheat)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (1 packet)
  • to taste pine nuts (optional, for garnish)

Tools

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • Electric beaters
  • 1 Sieve
  • 1 Lemon grater
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Baking pan

Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, pour in the cracked eggs, the sugar, and the grated lemon zest.

    Start blending with the beaters.

    Begin at low speed and then increase to achieve a frothy mixture.

    Add the oil and the raisins.

    Add a pinch of salt and continue blending.

    Finally, finish with the sifted baking powder and the whole wheat oat flour.

    Using electric beaters, add the flour gradually to avoid making the powder fly everywhere.

    When the mixture becomes too stiff, leave the beaters and finish mixing with upward strokes using the spatula.

  • The mixture is ready to be poured into the baking pan.

    I used a 22 cm pan.

    I decorated with pine nuts, but you can leave it plain or use other types of nuts (almonds or hazelnuts).

    The cake will bake in a preheated static oven, at 350°F for about 30/35 minutes.

    Always adjust according to your oven.

    The toothpick test is the perfect check to see if it’s cooked just right.

    All that’s left is to wish you

    Enjoy your meal

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
