Peach ‘n’ berries healthy cake

I baked this Peach ’n’ berries cake for a long car trip. I always like to take something nice and freshly baked whenever we hit the road somewhere and I can easily say we like to travel by car quite a bit lately.

Because there is a lot of sitting I thrive to always make something that is light and healthier and not too sweet or too buttery ☺️. Yes, there is a little butter there but realistically it comes to an infim amount per person of 10g which realistically is the amount of butter you use on one-two slices of toast ;-))).

It’s always nice to snack on something that is miles healthier than anything you’d buy in a shop, something homemade where you know exactly what you have put in and contains no unrecognisable Es but only the well knownE500 which is the E code for the soda bicarbonate ;-).

I’m just going to get started with this beautifully light and packed with antioxidants yummy cake.

Recipe Notes

If you wish the cake slightly sweeter, sprinkle 2 tbsp of unrefined sugar on top. Also the yogurt can be replaced by double cream if you want to indulge a little more. Why not? It's a cake at the end of the day 🍰!
