Healthy Cake with Apples, Strawberries and Poppy Seeds

I love baking, but what I enjoy most are simple and quick recipes where you don’t spend half a day in the kitchen. And that’s exactly what today’s recipe is all about. 👍

It all started when we bought pesticide-free strawberries from Hrdlička farm. At home I was thinking about what to do with them. And while scrolling through Instagram, a recipe by Kristián Mesároš popped up. Since I love healthier baking, it caught my attention straight away and I told myself I just had to try it. 🙂

What makes this cake absolutely amazing is that you won’t find any flour or refined sugar in it at all. It’s sweetened only with grated apples and chicory syrup, which I love to use instead of regular sugar. Of course, you can adapt the recipe to your liking and top it with any fruit — plums, for example.

The preparation is so incredibly simple that anyone can manage it. I just mixed all the ingredients together in one bowl and sweetened with chicory syrup to taste. I poured the batter into my old round cake tin, with baking paper on the bottom. Then I arranged the fresh strawberries nicely on top and baked it in the oven preheated to 170 degrees for about 40 minutes.

And the result? The cake was really delicious, beautifully moist thanks to the apples and cottage cheese. We’ll definitely be baking it again soon. 😋
