Ingredients
CAKE SLICE
- 3 cups almond meal
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Greek yoghurt
- 3 tablespoons rapadura sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
ICING
- 125g cream cheese
- 200g Greek yoghurt
- 25g honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
TO SERVE
- Roughly chopped strawberries (optional)
- roughly chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
CAKE SLICE
Preheat oven to 150°C. Grease a 27cm x 18cm slice tray with a little olive oil and sprinkle with almond meal to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl add the eggs, honey, oil, yoghurt, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and whisk together. Add the almond meal, bicarb soda and continue to whisk until all combined.
Pour into slice tray and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tray for 10 minutes then on a wire rack. This cake is really moist, so be careful when tipping out of the tray.
ICING
Using an electric hand mixer, beat all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined and light and fluffy. Place back into fridge until ready to use.
TO SERVE
Allow the cake to cool completely, then add a thick layer of icing and top with strawberries and pistachios.
Notes
This cake slice freezes really well.
Try and use a light flavoured olive oil so as to not overpower the flavour of the cake.
