Tired of cake recipes calling for cups and cups of sugar. And then I'm tired of no-sugar recipes using cups and cups of honey or agave or stevia or splenda... How about a naturally sweetened cake?
Here's one that's not as sweet as you would imagine cake to be, but it's still a DELICIOUS cake that's sweet enough to satisfy.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups unbleached plain flour
1 egg
1 cup (home-made, unsweetened) apple sauce
1.25 cups milk
0.25 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla powder or essence
1 cup grapes (cut in half)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 deg. F
2. Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly with a whisk.
3. Mix all the wet ingredients and combine with the dry ingredients. Fold in the grapes.
4. Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan. Pour cake mix into pan.
5. Bake for 35 minutes or until done (knife comes out clean).
As a sauce, I just soaked the cake in a quarter cup of evaporated milk (which is naturally sweet) and it gives the cake a creamy, soft texture.
Enjoy!
