Kiwi Cake: the recipe for a soft and light dessert

This kiwi cake is a soft, no butter dessert that is ideally served as a light and healthy afternoon snack or enjoyed at breakfast with a glass of warm milk. The recipe can be quite handy for you to get rid of all the ripe fruit you might have at home, and it is suitable also for those following a balanced and healthy diet, who however go crazy for a tasty slice of cake.

The preparation of the kiwi cake is a piece of cake. You will only need a bowl, a hand mixer and a few simple ingredients. Once the eggs have been beaten together with the sugar, you should only incorporate the flour, baking powder, seed oil and kiwis, which you will have blended into a puree with a mixer.

The mixture will then be poured into a cake mold, garnished with sliced kiwis and then baked: the result will be a soft, slightly caramelized dessert which will be sprinkled with icing sugar and enjoyed as a well-deserved after dinner treat.
