Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 3 units Large eggs
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and lightly dust it with flour.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. They should make about 1 cup of mashed banana.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and beat well until fully combined.
Step 5
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and grated lemon zest. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense cake.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Step 10
Slice and enjoy your sugar-free bizcocho casero as a healthier dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
