Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g Skyr (Icelandic yoghurt)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 20g Cornstarch (2 tbsp)
  • 3 tbsp Erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
  • 12 Small apples, chopped
  • Cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a small cake tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Skyr and eggs until smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy base for the cake.
  3. Add Sweetener and Cornstarch: Stir in the erythritol and cornstarch gradually, mixing thoroughly to prevent lumps and create a slightly thick batter.
  4. Incorporate Apples and Cinnamon: Fold in the chopped apples and sprinkle cinnamon to taste, gently combining everything to evenly distribute the flavors.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is set, golden on top, and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as a delicious healthy treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute erythritol with your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste.
  • Using fresh apples adds moisture and natural sweetness; opt for tart varieties like Granny Smith or sweet ones like Fuji, based on preference.
  • For a gluten-free version, cornstarch works well as a binder, avoiding traditional flour.
  • Ensure the eggs are well beaten to achieve a light texture in the cake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
