Main Ingredients
- 200g Skyr (Icelandic yoghurt)
- 2 Eggs
- 20g Cornstarch (2 tbsp)
- 3 tbsp Erythritol (or preferred sweetener)
- 1–2 Small apples, chopped
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a small cake tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Add Sweetener and Cornstarch: Stir in the erythritol and cornstarch gradually, mixing thoroughly to prevent lumps and create a slightly thick batter.
- Incorporate Apples and Cinnamon: Fold in the chopped apples and sprinkle cinnamon to taste, gently combining everything to evenly distribute the flavors.
- 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.
- 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.
