Apple and carrot baked goods are considered dietary. Therefore, many recipes are suitable even for those on a diet. The word "cake" itself comes from the English "cakes". This is how the British call various sweet pastries with fillings.
Cupcakes can be baked in large or small tins. If you want to bake a lot of flavorful muffins, use the convenient corrugated baking tins. For a large cake, you will need a non-stick baking pan.
You can use applesauce instead of apples in the recipe. For those on a diet, it is advisable to take sugar-free puree. So, the list of ingredients is as follows: 2 tbsp. wheat flour, 2 tsp. soda, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 3/4 tbsp. applesauce, 1/4 tbsp. vegetable oil, 3 tbsp. grated or chopped carrots, 3 eggs, 20 grams of powdered sugar.
Sift flour using a large sieve. Add sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt to a bowl. In another bowl, thoroughly grind the applesauce, butter, and eggs. Combine flour and apple mixture, stirring continuously. Then add the grated carrots to the mixture and mix again.
Cinnamon goes well with apples. It helps to lower blood sugar levels, increase insulin activity. Cinnamon helps the body's cells absorb and use glucose.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C. Place the resulting dough in a greased pan and place in the oven. Bake the muffin for 25-30 minutes. Use a match or wooden toothpick to check if it's done. If a toothpick comes out of the pie clean and dry, then it is completely ready. Remove the cake from the oven, place on a serving dish and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
The following dietary recipe is characterized by the absence of eggs and an abundance of fiber. Ingredients: 1 tbsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. flour, 1 tsp. vanilla sugar, 1/2 tbsp. oatmeal, 1 carrot, 2 apples, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/3 tsp. salt, 1-2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tbsp. kefir or yogurt, 1/3 tbsp. odorless vegetable oil, 2 tsp. lemon juice, zest of half an orange (optional).
Crushed walnuts, raisins, honey and candied fruits can be used as additional components of apple-carrot cake.
Sift flour into a large bowl and combine with baking powder, oatmeal, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Wash and peel carrots, apples. Grate them on a fine grater. If the carrots are too juicy, squeeze out the juice. Pour the grated carrots and apples into the flour. Pour in kefir, butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until smooth. To do this, use a special spoon or spatula. It is important to mix everything by hand: without using a mixer. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with flour. Shake off the excess. Or, use oiled baking paper so you don't have to peel the cake off the pan. Transfer the dough to a mold and flatten. Place in a preheated oven. Bake the muffin for 20-25 minutes.
The dough for any cake must be kneaded very quickly, otherwise it will not rise in the oven. During baking, do not move the dish during the first 15 minutes, so as not to break the structure of the dough. The oven must be heated evenly, otherwise the cake will only be baked in parts.
