Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dried apricots
- 100 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 100 grams plain low-fat yogurt
- 80 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 ml skim milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Finely chop the dried apricots and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat yogurt, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture, beating well to incorporate.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the chopped apricots and skim milk until the batter is smooth and the apricots are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious low-fat apricot cake!
