Ingredients

  • 250 g fermenting flour (white or wholemeal)
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. cardamom
  • ½ tsp ginger powder
  • 3 large carrots, grated
  • 60 g walnuts
  • 50 g neutral oil
  • 80 g maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 250 g Greek yoghurt
  • Optional side dish:
  • Greek yoghurt
  • Pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Oil a rectangular baking tin and line it with baking paper.
  2. Place the flour, spices and bicarbonate in a bowl and whisk together.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl. Add oil, maple syrup and Greek yoghurt; whisk to a smooth batter.
  4. Pour this mixture over the flour and mix well.
  5. Add grated carrots and coarsely chopped nuts; mix.
  6. Pour batter into pan and smooth surface with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes. To check if the cake is cooked, stick a skewer into the centre: it should come out dry. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminium foil.
  8. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and let it cool. Keep it well covered in the fridge. Serve with Greek yoghurt and pumpkin seeds.
  9. Enjoy with a cup of Nespresso Vertuo Melozio coffee.
