It's been a very busy week, so busy I haven't been able to cook much at home. The weather is beautiful and Im really enjoying it. So happy the rain hasn't arrived yet! I made this cake some time ago. A friend of mine kept asking me for a nice carob cake so I came up with this recipe. If you don't have carob you can replace it with cacao powder. Its a very moist cake and not too sweet, perfect for tea time with a nice cup of tea.
The pictures where taken by my friend Lorena Alaniz, thank you Lore!
Ingredients:
150 grs brown spelt flour
50 grs carob flour
150 gr oats (fast cooking)
10 grs baking powder
pinch of salt
200 grs jaggery or brown sugar
3 eggs
200 ml water
80 ml coconut oil/ canola oil or any other oil you want
1 tsp vanilla
a handfull of dried fruit/seeds/nuts of choice
Directions:
Pre-heat oven at 176 C degrees. Butter a 12x 22cm / 5 by 9 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl combine the flours, oats, baking powder, salt and sugar. In a separate bowl mix all the wet ingredients; eggs, water, oil and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just incorporated. Add the nuts/seeds/dried fruit. Do not over mix.
Add the mix to the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour or until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan, let cool completely before cutting.
I know...it's hard to wait, but try! If not the cake will crumble apart.
I hope you like the recipe, it's different and really easy to make. Wish you all the best for the next week.
Lots of love,xx
