Something a little different for breakfast this week – Balsamic, Raspberry and Apple Cake. Yes, this cake is healthy enough and delicious enough for BREAKFAST, and of course dessert!

Serves ~8
Time 1 hr 15mins
Ingredients:
- 1.5 C oat or buckwheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 C balsamic vinegar (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/4 C EVOO
- 1/2 C nut milk of choice, or water (add extra if needed to help a batter form)
- 2 T honey
- 1 C fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1-2 apples (use your favourite variety), sliced into segments.
Method (for both versions):
- Preheat oven to 180 degC
- Place flour and baking powder into a bowl and combine.
- Whisk eggs, vinegar, EVOO, nut milk/water and honey together in a bowl to combine before adding to the flours and stirring to make a batter. Add more nut milk or water if needed.
- Add the raspberries to the batter and gently stir in.
- Pour batter into a greased and lined cake tin. Arrange apple segments in a nice formation on the top.
- Bake for about an hour, or until cooked through when tested with a metal skewer.
- Remove from oven. Drizzle extra balsamic vinegar over the top of the cake while it is still in the cake tin so that it can absorb while cooling.
- Once cooling, remove cake from tin and serve with vanilla coconut ice cream.
