Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Apples:
    • Peel and cut one apple into small cubes and the other into thin slices. Set aside.
  3. Make the Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until fluffy.
    • Add the vanilla sugar and zero-calorie sweetener. Beat until well combined.
    • Add the applesauce and warm skim milk, mixing well.
    • Gradually add the flour mixture (whole wheat and almond flour) and baking powder, mixing until just combined.
    • Stir in the apple cubes and raisins.
  4. Assemble the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Arrange the apple slices on top in a decorative pattern.
    • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of skim milk and brush over the apple slices.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Dust:
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Dust with powdered sugar if desired (minimal amount for flavor).

Weight Watchers Points Calculation:

  • Apples: 0 points
  • Sugar (1 tbsp): 3 points
  • Eggs: 0 points (on certain plans)
  • Vanilla sugar: 1 point
  • Zero-calorie sweetener: 0 points
  • Unsweetened applesauce: 0 points
  • Skim milk (130ml + 2 tbsp): 2 points
  • Whole wheat and almond flour mix (approx. 16 points)
  • Baking powder: 0 points

  • Egg yolk: 2 points

Total Points for the Entire Cake:

  • 3 (sugar) + 1 (vanilla sugar) + 2 (skim milk) + 16 (flour mix) + 7 (raisins) + 2 (egg yolk) = 31 points

Servings: Assuming the cake serves 12 slices, the points per serving would be:

31 points / 12 servings = approximately 2.5 points per slice.

So, each slice of this Weight Watchers-friendly cake would be approximately 2.5 points.
