This sponge cake is the perfect combination of fluffiness and nutritional density. By using organic whole spelt flour, we increase the intake of fiber, minerals, and B vitamins, which are essential for digestive health and the nervous system. Thanks to Stevia1:3, we achieve the ideal sweetness without refined sugars, making it a perfect ally for those who monitor their blood sugar. The addition of Baking powder ensures an even rise and a light crumb, while the touch of Bonsalt masterfully balances the aromas of lemon and cinnamon.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Procedure)
1. Whisking and Emulsifying
Preheat the oven to 170°C. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the Stevia1:3 using a whisk until the mixture triples in volume and turns pale. Add the yogurt and extra virgin olive oil gradually, mixing gently until combined.
2. Dry Mixing Technique
Sift the whole spelt flour together with the Baking powder , the cinnamon, the lemon zest, and the pinch of Bonsalt . Fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula to preserve the batter's aeration.
3. Incorporating the Fruit and Baking
Peel and chop the apples into irregular cubes and add them to the batter. Pour the mixture into a previously greased pan (about 20 cm). Bake for approximately 40 minutes. Perform the toothpick test before removing from the oven to ensure perfect doneness.
Chef's Secrets
-
Whole-Ingredient Use: If the apples are organically grown, I recommend not peeling them; add the chopped peel as well to maximize the cake's fiber and pectin content.
-
Flavor Enhancer: The pinch of de Bonsalt brings out the essential oils in the lemon zest and the warmth of the cinnamon, allowing the sweet profile of Stevia1:3 to taste rounder and more natural.
