EGGLESS APPLE CAKE

Take a bite of this Eggless Apple Cake that was loaded with cubed apple. It is also low in fat when compared with other recipes found on the net.

This is just too easy to make. Great for when you want something without  too much effort.

Feel free to use royal gala, red delicious, granny smith or a mixture of different varieties of apple but this cake is always good.

LOW FAT BANANA CAKE (EGGLESS)

Banana cake is so popular and needs no introduction. Each of you have a favorite recipe of this cake. I too had tried various recipe of this treat with added chocolate, oat or chopped nuts.

The recipe below is a low fat and very light. It uses only 2 tablespoons of oil and water to moisten the batter. The best part is you don't  even  need to take out your mixer or food processor to bake one. It is so easy for anyone  to make.  If your banana is already sweet, do adjust the sugar to your preference. For natural sweetness and strong banana flavor, use ripen banana. This recipe can easily be doubled.

This fantastic cake is sheer indulgent with very little saturated fat, you can enjoy without guilt. Most importantly so fluffy and delicious!

5 CUP FRUIT CAKE (EGGLESS)

There are substantial collection of  recipes out there for  fruit cake. Some are heavily loaded with dried fruit,
butter and eggs.  Even  alcohol is being used for soaking the fruit overnight. If it is done in a traditional way, it takes time to bake this perennial favorite.

This is an express version without spending a long hours to bake one.  Though the  ingredients used are mixed dried fruit, self rising flour, milk, brown sugar and desiccated coconut, it turned out as good as the richer  fruit cake.

If time is  your constraint, consider baking this easy cake with great result.

For sugar,  either increase or decrease according to the sweetness of the banana you had used. After mixing all the ingredients together, pour onto greased pan and let rise until doubled.

RAISIN CITRUS CAKE, EGGLESS

My son requested to bake a cake for our afternoon tea and for lunch
 boxes.  Instead of  buying from the store, decided to bake an easy cake using ingredients available in my pantry.  The advantage of baking your own is that you can decide what goes inside, choosing a wholesome and better quality ingredients and make them healthier. My preference goes to easy method and as simple as possible

Raisin Citrus Cake is  a great and quick cake to make, even tasted awesome without frosting. You can substitute with other fruit like apricot, cranberries or dates. Add more sugar for sweeter version.
