  • Healthy Chocolate Cake with Apples and Cocoa

    Healthy Chocolate Cake with Apples and Cocoa

    Healthy Chocolate Cake with Apples and Cocoa

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

     

    4 apples, peeled, cored, and pureed (approx. 2 cups or 480 ml of apple puree)

    4 large eggs

    1 cup (70 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

    1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder

    3 tablespoons (45 ml) coconut oil, melted

    Optional Add-ins:

     

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon for a hint of spice

    A handful of dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture (optional)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

     

    1. Preheat the Oven

     

    Before starting the cake batter, it’s important to get your oven ready.

     

     

    Preheat to 360°F (180°C): Set your oven to this temperature to ensure even cooking throughout the cake.

    Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8-inch (20 cm) round or square baking dish with parchment paper, or grease it lightly with coconut oil. This will make it easy to remove the cake after baking.

    2. Prepare the Batter

     

    This cake is simple to make, relying on fresh apple puree to provide moisture and natural sweetness.

     

    Puree the apples: Begin by peeling, coring, and pureeing the apples. You can use a food processor or blender to achieve a smooth, even texture. If your apples are particularly juicy, you may want to strain the puree slightly to remove excess liquid.

    Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple puree and eggs. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it’s smooth and well-blended. The eggs help bind the cake while also giving it structure.

    Add the dry ingredients: Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder and baking powder to the apple-egg mixture. The cocoa powder provides a rich, chocolatey flavor, while the baking powder ensures the cake rises properly.

    Incorporate the coconut oil: Finally, pour in the melted coconut oil. Stir the batter well until all the ingredients are fully combined, and the batter is smooth. The coconut oil adds healthy fats and enhances the cake’s moist texture.

    Optional flavors: For added depth of flavor, you can stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. These optional ingredients can elevate the taste without adding calories or unhealthy components.

    3. Bake the Cake

     

    Now that your batter is ready, it’s time to bake your healthy chocolate cake.

     

    Pour the batter into the dish: Transfer the batter to your prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

    Bake for 35-40 minutes: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

    4. Cool and Serve

     

    Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Cooling helps the cake set and improves the texture.

     

     

    Cool in the pan: Leave the cake in the baking dish for about 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the oven. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    Slice and enjoy: Once cooled, slice the cake into squares or wedges. This cake is perfectly delicious on its own but can also be served with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate for a bit of indulgence.

    100g Raisins: Natural sweetness and chewiness without the need for added sugar.

    4. Blend the Bananas:

     

    Peel the bananas and cut them into smaller pieces. Use a regular blender or a hand blender to create a smooth, puree-like consistency with the bananas. Ensure there are no large residues; the banana puree should be entirely mushy.

    Pear Filo Dough Pastry with Nuts and Raisins

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

     

    3 pears, peeled and sliced (or apples as an alternative)

    1 package of filo dough (about 250g)

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for brushing the filo dough)

    ½ cup (75g) raisins, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes

    ½ cup (75g) mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews), roughly chopped

    3 eggs

    300ml water

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

    Directions:

     

    Prepare the pears:

    Peel and slice 3 pears. Set aside. If you prefer, you can use apples instead of pears for this recipe.

    Prepare the raisins and nuts:

    Soak the raisins in boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.

    Roughly chop the walnuts, almonds, and cashews and set aside.

    Layer the filo dough:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

    Lay out a sheet of filo dough and brush it lightly with vegetable oil. Repeat this process, layering 5-6 sheets of filo dough on top of each other, brushing each sheet with oil.

    Add the filling:

    Spread the sliced pears (or apples) evenly over the layered filo dough. Sprinkle the softened raisins and chopped nuts on top of the pears.

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the fruit and nuts for added flavor.

    Roll the pastry:

    Carefully roll the filo dough with the filling into a log shape, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent the filling from spilling out. Place the rolled pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Prepare the egg wash:

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 300ml of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of the filo pastry with the egg wash to give it a nice golden color during baking.

    Bake:

    Bake the pastry in the preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 45-50 minutes, or until the filo dough is golden and crispy.

    Finish and serve:

    Once baked, remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

    Cooking Tips:

     

    Work quickly with filo dough: Filo dough can dry out quickly, so cover any unused sheets with a damp cloth while assembling.

    Use a sharp knife: For a clean cut, use a sharp knife to slice through the crispy filo pastry when serving.
