- Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup Canola oil
- 4 ozs sugar

Combine eggs, oil, sugar, applesauce, and soy flour in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients with a hand mixer until the sugar has dissolved.
Mix spelt flour and baking powder in another bowl and sift into applesauce mixture.
Pour in buttermilk and mix into a smooth batter. If it is too liquid, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of additional flour. Use the dough according to the recipe or simply stir in nuts, dried fruit (such as raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots) or chocolate chips.

Healthy, because
The sponge mixture is prepared with rapeseed oil instead of butter: This is purely vegetable, has a fatty acid profile that is super favourable for our body, and lots of natural vitamin E. Because apple sauce is stirred in, less fat is needed - so we save calories when eating cake!
Even smarter
To make a marble cake, fill one half of the dough into the cake tin and mix the other with 1 heaped tablespoon of cocoa powder and 4-5 tablespoons of milk. Then pour the dark dough onto the light one and pull a fork through both doughs to create the typical pattern.
