Ingredients

  • Baking powder: 7 g (1 1/2 teaspoons)
  • Egg yolks: 3
  • Egg whites: 3
  • Medium apples: 2, grated or chopped
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1 pinch
  • Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Coconut oil (or other fat of your choice): for greasing the mold

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the Oats

  1. Blending the Oats: Place 230 g of gluten-free oat flakes into a blender. Blend until they are finely ground, resembling flour. Pour the ground oats into a bowl.

Step 2: Mixing the Dry Ingredients

  1. Adding Dry Ingredients: To the bowl of ground oats, add 7 g of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well to combine.

Step 3: Preparing the Apples

  1. Grating or Chopping Apples: Take 2 medium apples, cut them into pieces without peeling, and grate or chop them. Add the apples to the bowl with the dry ingredients.

Step 4: Mixing the Wet Ingredients

  1. Combining Wet Ingredients: Add 3 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apple-oat mixture. If using, add 40 g of dried blueberries. Mix with a spatula until the mixture is grainy but soft.

Step 5: Whipping the Egg Whites

  1. Whipping the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, add a pinch of salt to the 3 egg whites. Using an electric whisk, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 6: Combining the Mixtures

  1. Folding in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the oat mixture in two stages. Use a spatula to stir gently from the bottom upwards, ensuring the mixture remains airy.

Step 7: Preparing the Baking Mold

  1. Greasing the Mold: Grease a 26×10 cm glass plumcake mold with coconut oil (or another fat of your choice). Pour the mixture into the mold and level it well.

Step 8: Baking the Cake

  1. Baking: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean.

Step 9: Cooling and Serving

  1. Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the mold before removing it.
  2. Serving: Once cooled, remove the cake from the mold, slice it, and serve. Enjoy this healthy and delicious cake with your favorite beverage.
