Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (90 grams) oats
- 1 large apple, peeled and chopped
- 3 tbsps (45 milliliters) honey
- 3 tbsps (45 grams) yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 grams) butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), creating an optimal baking environment with consistent heat distribution.
- Blending: Utilize a high-powered blender or mixing bowl to combine all ingredients except rolled oats, processing until achieving a smooth, velvety texture without any visible lumps.
- Incorporating Texture: Delicately fold the reserved oats into the mixture, ensuring an even distribution that provides a subtle, hearty consistency throughout the batter.
- Pan Preparation: Line a small baking pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang to facilitate effortless cake removal after baking.
- Baking Process: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to create a level surface, then place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge completely clean.
- Cooling and Setting: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then slice into precise portions using a sharp knife.
- Flavor Development: Refrigerate the slices in an airtight container for at least one hour, enabling the flavors to meld and the texture to stabilize, transforming the cake into a delectable, chilled breakfast treat or light dessert.
Notes
- Optimize Blending Technique: Ensure a completely smooth mixture by blending ingredients thoroughly, eliminating any potential lumps for a consistent texture.
- Prevent Overbaking: Watch the cake closely during the last 10 minutes of baking, as ovens can vary; use the toothpick test to check for perfect doneness without drying out.
- Enhance Flavor Development: Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow ingredients to meld and intensify the overall taste profile.
- Customize Texture: Gently fold oats last to maintain a delicate, light consistency that adds subtle crunch and nutritional value to the breakfast cake.
