#fitness #blog #blogger #healthy #health #raisin #cake #foodporn

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 ^_^
