Sugar-free, butter-free carrot cake


This recipe has been adapted from several carrot cake recipes I have on hand. I made it for the first time day and we were all surprised by the taste and texture - considering it has no butter or sugar. It is very healthy, easy and relatively quick.

Ingredients:
  •  1 teaspoon vanilla flavouring
  •  2 eggs
  •  1 tablespoon good quality olive oil
  •  1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  •  1 apple, peeled and grated
  •  4 tablespoons low-fat natural Greek yoghurt
  •  1 cup self-raising white flour
  •  1 cup wholemeal flour
  •  2 teaspoons baking powder
Method:
  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla flavouring
  2. Add the grated carrot and apple and stir
  3. Add the oil, yoghurt, both the flours (sifted) and baking powder
  4. Stir with a wooden spoon
  5. Pour into a loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees celsius for 30-40mins
Lovely served warm with a light sprinkle of icing sugar and a hot cuppa. D-E-L-icious  XD
