Almost Healthy Peach Yoghurt Almond Cake

Ah, I have been caught up by this almost healthy baking con lark. Am waiting to see how this one will turn out. Yoghurt and peach is such a great combination- all that bitter-sweet goodness. I searched for recipes but all contained great quantities of butter, or called for tinned peaches, or where . Did I mention that I got 12 ripe peaches for £1 yesterday? 


I found this recipe for a pear yoghurt cake and adapted. 


This is what I came up with. It remains to be seen whether it is good! 


Ingredients
8oz wholemeal flour
2oz  unrefined soft brown sugar (this does not make it sweet- if you want a sweet cake, double the amount of sugar). 
3/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1tspn cinnamon
1/2 tspn salt
1 large egg
3 tbsp vegetable oil (I used rice bran oil)
4 ripe peaches cut into small pieces (even better-pureed)
1 oz chopped and toasted almonds (I chopped and toasted some whole almonds)

To make:Preheat the oven to 180. Grease a loaf tin. 

Stir together the flour, cinnamon and salt. 

In another bowl beat the egg, sugar and oil. Whisk in the yoghurt. Stir in the chopped peach and almonds. 

Mix all the ingredients and blend.

Put into the loaf tin.
Bake for about an hour until the cake is springy to the touch, shrinks from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Let cool for 20-30 minutes on a wire rack, then slice and serve!
