Ingredients
The light apple cake is a lighter version of the classic grandma’s apple cake but equally soft and naturally sweet thanks to the apples, with simple ingredients and no eggs and butter, perfect to enjoy without guilt
- 1 3/4 cups rice flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (or 1 tablespoon of erythritol)
- 3/4 cup milk (plant-based)
- 2 apples
- 1 orange (juiced and zest grated)
- 1 packet baking powder
Steps
If you think preparing a light cake means giving up taste, this cake will change your mind; it’s prepared in no time without special equipment. Here is the step-by-step process for a soft and light result.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with honey or erythritol using an electric mixer, add the milk, orange juice and zest, and one apple chopped into pieces, and finally the flour with baking powder. Mix everything well and then pour into a pan lined with parchment paper or, as I did, a bundt pan lightly oiled and floured. Slice the other apple and arrange it in a fan shape on top, then bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes. Before removing from the oven, do the toothpick test; it should come out dry. Let it cool and then enjoy.
