Light apple and cinnamon cake – light & yummy

Light apple and cinnamon cake

I made some light apple and cinnamon cakes before but I wanted to make it really more similar to an Italian Torta di mele with added cinnamon, which I love. I tried a recipe given to me by Enrica, a reader of my Italian blog Mangia senza Pancia, and yes, that was it! She also follows Weight Watchers diet successfully and therefore calculated the points for this cake but she uses a former system so I had to recalculate the Propoints. In any case, whichever Weight Watchers version one follows, a nice slice of this light apple and cinnamon cake is only a few points!

Compared to the original recipe from Enrica I added a little bit of baking soda and reduced the sugar: I wanted to replace part of the sugar with honey but then I forgot to add it. Still the cake was very good also without any honey, but I think it’s important to use a sweet type of apples which will function as natural sweetener with zero points. Enrica then used a trick to make the cake very tasty, let’s see how…
