Let me walk you through how to make it!

⭐ Ingredients You’ll Need

• 160 g flour

• 200 ml milk

• 8 g baking powder

• 8 g vanilla sugar

• 2 tbsp stevia sweetener + 1 extra tbsp (or regular sugar)

• 2 tbsp oil

• 1 egg

• 1 apple

• A pinch of salt

• Juice of ½ lemon

• A handful of raisins

• Sugar-free apricot jam (optional)

• Chopped almonds (optional)

🍎 How to Make Your No-Bake Apple Cake

1. Prepare the apple

Core the apple and slice it thinly — no need to peel unless you prefer it that way. Drizzle the slices with lemon juice so they stay fresh while you prepare the batter.

2. Make the batter

In a bowl, whisk the egg together with the vanilla sugar, salt, and stevia (or regular sugar). Mix until soft and slightly foamy.
Add the oil, then pour in the milk and whisk again.

3. Add the dry ingredients

Slowly add the flour while mixing to avoid lumps.
Sift in the baking powder and stir until everything is well combined and smooth.

4. Assemble in the pan

Warm a non-stick pan over low heat. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sweetener or sugar over the bottom.
Place the apple slices and raisins on top — this will create a lovely fruity layer once the cake is flipped.

5. Cook the cake

Pour the batter evenly over the fruit.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low for about 20–25 minutes.
Carefully flip the cake and cook for an additional 5 minutes to set the top.

6. Add the finishing touches

When the cake is done, you can spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the top and add chopped almonds for extra crunch.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

This simple technique gives you a soft, homemade cake without ever turning on the oven.

🌱 Soft Zucchini & Carrot Veggie Balls – Easy Homemade Recipe

If you’re looking for a light, tasty, and simple appetizer, these zucchini and carrot veggie balls are perfect. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a soft and flavorful dish that works great as a snack, side dish, or meatless meal.

🥕 Ingredients

• 1 large zucchini

• 1 carrot

• 100 g breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 50 g grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped (optional)

• Salt and pepper

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

• Olive oil for cooking

👩‍🍳 How to Prepare Them

1. Prepare the vegetables

Grate the zucchini and carrot. If the zucchini releases too much liquid, gently squeeze out the excess so the mixture stays firm.

2. Combine the ingredients

Place the grated vegetables in a bowl and mix them with the breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Stir until the mixture becomes thick enough to shape.

3. Form the veggie balls

Wet your hands slightly and shape small, even-sized balls from the mixture.

4. Cook the veggie balls

Pan option: Warm a little olive oil in a skillet and cook the balls for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they become golden and crisp.
Oven option: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning.

5. Serve and enjoy

Set them on paper towels to absorb any extra oil and serve warm. They pair beautifully with yogurt dip, tomato sauce, or your favorite dressing.
