Servings 10 slices
Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 1/2-2 dl Stevia granulated sugar
- 3/4 dl Unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 Eggs
- 2 dl Greek yogurt (I used 0% fat)
- 3/4 dl Fiber syrup, honey or agave
- 2 1/2 dl Oat flour
- 1/2 dl Coconut flour
- 1 dl Walnut Flour (or almond flour if you don't have walnuts flour)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 3/4 tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 dl Walnuts roughly chopped
For the frosting
- 200 g Cream cheese (I used reduced fat)
- 1 dl Greek yogurt (I used 0% fat)
- 1-3 tbsp Stevia granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you prefer your frosting)
- 1-2 tbsp Fiber syrup, honey, agave
- 1/2-1 tsp Lemon juice
- Walnuts, to top roughly chopped
- Fiber syrup, honey or agave, to top (optional)
Instructions
- Line or grease a 20 cm spring form.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
- Add stevia granulated sugar, apple sauce, yogurt, fiber syrup to a blender and mix.
- Add eggs, one by one and mix in between until incorporated.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and combine.
- Add the dry ingredients little by little to the wet and stir to combine.
- When you have a smooth batter add the chopped walnuts and stir to incorporate.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 25-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick or knife to check so it comes out clean.
- Take out the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the spring form.
- Meanwhile prepare the frosting by adding cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and fiber syrup, honey or agave to a bowl and mixing using a hand mixer until combined and creamy. Place in the fridge until ready to frost the cake.
- When the cake has cooled add the frosting on top and top with walnuts and drizzle more fiber syrup/honey/agave on top (if using).
