History
Sugar-free desserts have a long tradition in cultures where natural sweetness from fruits and dried ingredients was the norm. Before the widespread use of refined sugar, cakes were often sweetened using apples, dates, or honey. This recipe is a modern twist on those traditional methods.
Benefits
- Low in sugar: Great for those watching their sugar intake or managing diabetes.
- Rich in fiber: Apples and raisins help with digestion.

Formation
The cake forms a moist, dense texture thanks to the apple and butter combination. The eggs provide lift, while the flour and baking powder ensure structure. Raisins dot the batter with bursts of natural sweetness and chewy texture.
