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)
- 1/5 cup raisins
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (you can also use vegetable oil if you prefer)
- 1 3/4 cup oat flour (whole)
- 16 g baking powder (1 packet)
- as needed pine nuts (optional, for garnish)
Tools
- 1 Bowl
- Electric whisks
- 1 Sieve
- 1 Lemon grater
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Mold
Steps
In a bowl, pour the cracked eggs, sugar, and grated lemon zest.
Using the whisks, start mixing.
Start at low speed until you increase and obtain a frothy mixture.
Add the oil and raisins.
Add a pinch of salt and continue mixing.
Finally, finish with the sifted baking powder and whole oat flour.
Due to the use of electric whisks, always add a little flour at a time, to avoid powder flying everywhere.
When the mixture is too stiff, leave the whisks and give the final turns from bottom to top, using the spatula.
The mixture is ready to be poured into the mold.
I used a 9-inch 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 for me to do is to wish you
Enjoy your meal
