sugar-free-cake recipe

You’ll Need:

1 and 1/2 cup of buttermilk (may be 1 low – 0% – fat yogurt plus
skimmed milk to complete 1 1/2 cup)

1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats), whole (not refined)

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup bran or oat bran

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 to 1 cup chopped prunes (can mix with raisins, and even put more
if you like sweeter)

1 banana (very ripe) well mashed (or about 100 grs. – 3 oz. – of
unsweetened apple sauce, or pureed prunes)

Ground cinnamon to taste.

N.B. Those who wish a sweeter cake may add about 1/8 cup honey

Procedures : 1. Place the oatmeal and the buttermilk in a bowl (a bit in advance so
the oats soften) – mix well

2. Add dried fruit

3. Add all the other ingredients and mix very well – the mashed
banana (or apple sauce, or pureed prunes), last.

Pour batter (it is quite solid, like for muffins) in a 9 inch, or
23 cm., non-stick loaf pan; sprinkle with oat flakes and LET
IT REST IN THE PAN FOR 20 MINUTES (BEFORE BAKING)

Bake in preheated oven – 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Centigrade
for 1 hour to 1 hr 10 min. (really depends on the oven – in mine it
takes 1 hour 10 minutes)
