Ingredients:

• • Half a cup (120 ml) of pure orange juice

  • 120 ml of water (or more orange juice, if you prefer)
  • 3 eggs
  • 60 ml oil (or coconut oil, if you prefer)

• 200g of thick rolled oats
• 65 g cornstarch
• 1 heaped tablespoon of baking powder

Preparation Method:

1. 1. Juice Preparation:
      • Squeeze the oranges to extract the juice and remove the seeds. If desired, you can also add lemon juice for an additional citrus touch.

1. Crushing the Apples:
   • Cut the apples into pieces, removing the seeds. You can choose to use the apples with or without the skin, depending on your preference.
   • Place the apples in a blender, add the orange juice and water, and blend until smooth.
2. Mixing the Liquid Ingredients:
   • Add the eggs and oil to the blender and blend for another minute to combine all the ingredients.
3. Adding the Dry Ingredients:
   • Add the rolled oats and cornstarch to the blender and blend until smooth.
   • Finally, add the yeast and pulse briefly to mix it into the dough.
4. Baking the Cake:
   • • Preheat oven to 200°C.
     • Grease a 21 cm diameter pan with a little oil.
     • Pour the batter into the pan and bake.
   • Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. In the final minutes, increase the temperature to brown the top, if desired.
5. Storage and Sweetener Tips:
   • Since the cake doesn’t contain refined sugar, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
   • If you’d like a sweeter cake, consider adding dried fruit, such as raisins or chopped apricots, to the batter before baking.
