Ingredients

• 160 g self-rising flour (self-rising flour)
• 250 ml Optimel Limited Edition Cherry Drink Yogurt (cherry flavored drink yogurt)
• 30 g vanilla protein powder (vanilla protein powder)
• 40 g sweetener (sweetener)
• 2 eggs (approx. 110 grams total)
• 120 g cherry pie filling (canned cherry pie filling/spread; can be replaced with fresh cherries)
• 8 g baking powder (baking powder)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, vanilla protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder.

3. 3

   Add the eggs and the Optimel cherry drink yogurt to the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   Mix the ingredients together until a smooth batter forms.

5. 5

   Gently fold in the cherry pie filling so that it is distributed throughout the batter.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into a cake tin and place it in the preheated oven.

7. 7

   Bake for approximately 40 minutes.

8. 8

   Perform a doneness check by inserting a wooden skewer into the center; if it comes out dry, the cake is ready.

9. 9

   Let the cake cool before slicing into 13 pieces.

Notes

The author recommends using canned cherry pie filling (vlaaifruit) over fresh cherries because the surrounding syrup/spread adds extra moisture and flavor to the cake. Each slice is approximately 75 kcal.
