Ingredients:
For the dry ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
For wet ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
2 tbs Chia seeds gel
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup butter (room temperature)
1 tbs vanilla
1 cup sugar
Some other spices can be added, such as ground cinnamon and nutmeg for a carrot cake.
Allspice for a spice cake
2 cups of blueberries, blackberries, apples, mangoes or any kind of fresh fruit (your choice)
The streusel topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup nuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup butter, cut up
The equipment is a bunt pan, round cake pan, or a 9" x 8" rectangular baking pan.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Lightly grease a cake pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk well.
In another bowl, add all the wet ingredients and beat well (about 3 minutes). Stir in the dry ingredients and beat until smooth. Add fresh fruit and mix to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Top with streusel. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For apple cake:
For the wet ingredients, I like to replace the nonfat yogurt with apple sauce.
Add 1/2 cup chopped raisins and 1/4 cup of walnuts
For carrot cake:
Replace the butter with vegetable oil. For a shortcut, store-bought icing can be used. Add 1/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/3 cup raisins.
