Treat of the week: RAISIN BREAD/CAKE !
_ Who's in?
No matter where you live , if it's warm or cold , no one can resist a hot cup of chocolate/coffee/tea/whatever served with a slice of something really delicious [and still healthy to match your progress and serve your health]. It's a type of cozy pleasure i always give in !I chose this recipe cause it's hyper delicious , healthy , low fat and can easily be done by anyone .
It's appropriate for people on low fat diet or healthy nutrition so if you're following the challenge i set on past February you can still enjoy it ;)
Let's get started :
You will need :
- 1 cup of raisins
- 2 cups of flour ( you can put wholegrain black flour as a healthier option )
- 2 SEPERATED cups of water
- 1/4 cup oil ( i used olive oil and it worked great )
- 1 cup of sweetener ( the original recipe insisted sugar , i used 3/4 brown sugar and 2 spoons of honey instead to make it healthier and easier to digest )
- 1 tsp. of cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/tsp. bakin' soda
- little salt
Preparation ? INSTA EASY ^_^
- Boil the ONE cup of water and all the raisins , together , for 15 minutes . Then remove the mix from heat.
- Then , take a large bowl and add all the solid ingredients ( flour , sugar , cinnamon , nutmeg , soda and salt ) . Make a homogenised mixture .
- Pour the second .unused , cup of (cold) water , the oil and the boiled combination of water and raisins . Stir them all together gently ( i used just a spoon for this process )
- When everything is mixed smoothly it's baaaaking time !
You can either use a large baking pan ( 32 x 25 cm ) or separate the mixture in two smaller . I chose the second option because i didn't have a larger one and also the cake would have more space to be properly baked across the whole surface .
- Bake your cake(s) in preheated oven , on 175 degrees C for aprox. 1 hour .
Check regularly using a knife to see if it's ready .
Tadaaaan !
SUGGESTION !
You can serve it single or add some peanut butter on top ! It is yummy , divine and heavenly delicious and will leave you free of guilt since the ingredients are not as processed as regular cakes !
Hope you liked the recipe and you got tempted to enter your kitchen and create some food-porn ^_^

Till our next catch-up , wear your brightest smile and spread love :3
