Healthy Pear Slice Cake

Ingredients

• 75 g flour (all-purpose flour)
• 35 g protein powder (protein powder)
• 375 g pear (in very thin slices (use a mandoline or cheese slicer))
• 40 g powdered sugar substitute (powdered sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol))
• 15 g light butter (melted)
• 150 g 0% Greek yogurt
• 3 eggs (size S)
• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 8 g baking powder

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 24 cm cake tin or line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Prepare the pears by slicing them very thinly. It is recommended to use a mandoline or a cheese slicer to achieve very thin, uniform slices.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 eggs, 150g Greek yogurt, 15g melted butter, and 40g powdered sugar substitute. Whisk until smooth.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture: 75g flour, 35g protein powder, 4 tsp cinnamon, and 8g baking powder. Mix until just combined into a smooth batter.

5. 5

   Gently fold the thin pear slices into the batter until they are well-coated.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin, smoothing the top.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven at 160°C for 50-55 minutes.

8. 8

   Perform a doneness check by inserting a skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

9. 9

   Allow the cake to cool before slicing into 13 pieces.

Notes

For the thinnest pear slices, use a mandoline or a cheese slicer. This cake is excellent served as a dessert with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
