Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 3 units Large eggs
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and lightly dust it with flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. They should make about 1 cup of mashed banana.
Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and beat well until fully combined.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and grated lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 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 before serving.
Slice and enjoy your sugar-free bizcocho casero as a healthier dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
