Every once in a while, I crave for a crumbly cake, one that doesn’t demand any extraordinary baking skills or requires any fancy gadget. I want it easy-going and a little bit healthy, if possible. Thankfully, I have few such recipes that save my day and makes baking effortless.
Filled with dried fruits, nuts and a hint of coffee, this crumbly cake absolutely won my husband’s heart. He has a challenging palate when it comes to cake, trust me! If he finds fresh fruits in a cake, he will neatly fish it out. If the cake is too moist or too dense, he will not eat it. He doesn’t like frosting and if the cake has dark chocolate in it, he would taste a tiny bite just to keep me happy. So, this time when he said ‘good job’ at every slice he ate plus cleaned the plate to the last crumb, you can imagine my excitement. I felt like a winner! Normally, a cake lasts for few days in our home. This one was licked clean in less than two days. It’s good I used olive oil instead of butter, which made us feel little less guilty. Chasing the Easter bunny would have definitely helped burning the calories but we lazy bones decided to save that act for next year!
