Sugar-free-cake Recipe Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cup of buttermilk (may be 1 low - 0% - fat yogurt plus
- skimmed milk to complete 1 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats), whole (not refined)
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup bran or oat bran
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 to 1 cup chopped prunes (can mix with raisins, and even put more
- if you like sweeter)
- 1 banana (very ripe) well mashed (or about 100 grs. - 3 oz. - of
- unsweetened apple sauce, or pureed prunes)
- Ground cinnamon to taste.
- N.B. Those who wish a sweeter cake may add about 1/8 cup honey
Directions:
- 1. Place the oatmeal and the buttermilk in a bowl (a bit in advance so
- the oats soften) - mix well
- 2. Add dried fruit
- 3. Add all the other ingredients and mix very well - the mashed
- banana (or apple sauce, or pureed prunes), last.
- Pour batter (it is quite solid, like for muffins) in a 9 inch, or
- 23 cm., non-stick loaf pan; sprinkle with oat flakes and LET
- IT REST IN THE PAN FOR 20 MINUTES (BEFORE BAKING)
- Bake in preheated oven - 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Centigrade
- for 1 hour to 1 hr 10 min. (really depends on the oven - in mine it
- takes 1 hour 10 minutes)
