Simple recipe for yoghurt cakes with raspberries and BAM raspberry jam without added sugar

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons BAM vanilla sugar with real vanilla
• 1 cup yoghurt
• 1 cup BAM extra virgin olive oil spray
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1 bag of baking powder
• Peel of 1 lemon
• 150 g raspberries
• 3-4 tablespoons BAM raspberry jam without added sugar

Preparation:

Step 1:

Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the BAM vanilla sugar. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar in the eggs.

Step 2:

Add the yoghurt, reserving the yoghurt pot for further measuring of the ingredients.

Step 3:

Add the cup of oil to the mixture and mix well.

Step 4:

Stir in the sugar, two cups of flour, baking powder and lemon zest and mix well.

Step 5:

Carefully fold the raspberries into the mixture to distribute evenly.

Step 6:

Pour the mixture into the greased baking tray. Spread small spoonfuls of BAM raspberry jam over the top to create nice dots of jam in the pastry.

Bake the cakes for 35-40 minutes at 180 ºC. When golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, the pastry is baked.

Yoghurt pastry variations

Yoghurt cakes are incredibly flexible and can include a variety of fruits and toppings. Here are some ideas on how you can adapt the recipe to create different versions of this simple and delicious pastry:

• Yoghurt cakes with blueberries

Blueberries add a refreshing flavour and beautiful colours to the pastry. Simply stir them into the base mixture or spread them over the top of the pastry before baking. Blueberries are also great combined with a little lemon juice or sugar for extra flavour.

• Yoghurt cakes with apples

Thinly slice the apples and arrange them over the mixture in the baking tray. Add a little cinnamon and sugar for extra flavour. The apples soften during baking and add a nice sweet flavour and a slightly tart contrast to the pastry.

• Yoghurt cakes with strawberries

Strawberries are a great choice for summer days. Cut them into small pieces and add them to the base mixture. They can also be mixed with a little sugar and left to extract their juices, which will make the pastry even juicier.

• Yoghurt cakes with plums

Plums are great for creating a juicy pastry. Cut them into pieces and spread them evenly over the surface of the pastry. The plums add a slightly sour note to the pastry, which goes nicely with the sweetness of the base mixture.

• Yoghurt cakes with cherries

Cherries are an excellent choice for slightly sour and sweet notes. Remove the pits and cut the cherries into smaller pieces. Spread them over the surface of the mixture to get the perfect combination of sweet and sour flavours.

• Yoghurt cakes with peaches

Peaches are another great choice for yoghurt cakes. Slice them and arrange them on top of the pastry. The peaches soften during baking and add a nice juiciness and sweetness to the pastry.

• Yoghurt cakes with coconut

If you want to add a little tropical flavour, you can also mix coconut into the base mixture or top with BAM Coconut Waffle Topping. The coconut gives the cake a nice crunch and aroma that goes well with the sweetness of the yoghurt.

• Yoghurt cakes with pudding

For an extra creamy texture, you can also mix a little prepared pudding into the base mixture. Choose the flavour you like and add a little pudding to the mixture before baking. This will make the cakes even more light and creamy.

• Chocolate version

If you want to add a chocolate flavour to the cakes, you can add cocoa powder or BAM chocolate chunks to the base mixture. Add 2-3 tablespoons of BAM cocoa powder to achieve a chocolate flavour, or add chocolate chunks to the mixture. This is how Bosmo creates a sumptuous chocolate version of the yoghurt cake that will satisfy all chocolate lovers.
