Didn´t you know that we love desserts? Well, I guess this is something rather common for human beings in general, but we always find an occasion to eat something sweet, and whenever you go in Spain you will find a wide variety of specialties from the region. It is very common to visit a city or a village and find a nuns convent, where you can find the most delicious and home made sweet specialties. If you ever spot one, don´t hesitate to come in and buy some samples.
Now, I´d like to introduce you to the concept of home made sweet recipes and the best way to do so, is by showing you how to easily prepare a spongy “Bizcocho de la Abuela”, “Grandma´s cake”. It was my grandma who used to cook this yummy cake, and I inherited my grandma and mam´s passion for baking..
So, what do you need to bake this cake?
- 3 eggs
- A big spoon of baking powder
- ½ grated lemon rind
- 1 natural yoghurt
- 1 yoghurt measure of olive oil
- 2 yoghurt measure of sugar
- 2 and ½ yoghurt measure of self raising white flour
- 1 apple cut in small pieces
It will only take you 15 minutes to prepare the cake and put it in the oven, plus then an additional 45 minutes approximately of oven baking. If you are ready to start, first of all you need to pour the eggs, baking powder, lemon and yoghurt into a big bowl and start to whisk them while you add the oil, then the sugar and finally the flour, so that everything gets in a uniform smooth mix. Once the mix is done, you need to prepare the baking tin appropriately so that the cake comes out smoothly when baked, and you can do that by adding some oil to the tin and then some flour. You will also need to have a pre-heated oven at 120 degrees.
Get hold of the apple now, this is the cook touch. Add the mix into the baking tin, and while you do so, you can add the apple pieces so that the cake surprise you and your guests when trying it! They always ask what´s in it, that tastes so nice and smooth ;)
Enjoy!
