Ingredients for Apple And Pecan Cake

  • Wholemeal Self Rising Flour
  • 50g rolled oats
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp ground allspice
  • Brown Sugar
  • 50g chopped pecans
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 medium apples (approx. 200g), peeled, cored, and diced

How to Make Apple And Pecan Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin. Line the bottom with baking paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 150g whole wheat flour, 50g rolled oats, 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda, ½ tsp ground allspice, and 50g brown sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia). Stir in 50g chopped pecans.
  3. Create a well in the dry ingredients. Add 60ml olive oil and 1 large egg, mixing until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 medium apples (approx. 200g), peeled, cored, and diced. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
  6. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
