Ingredients
  • 8 Organic eggs
  • 110g (1 cup) Organic whole-wheat flour
  • 120g (1 cup) Organic coconut sugar (or unrefined cane sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 100g (1 cup) Blueberries
Instructions
  1. Take out the eggs from the fridge and allow them to stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before preparing the cake.
  2. Grease 8 individual ramekins (or a large cake mould if you prefer) with olive oil and line them with baking paper (cut the papers to a size higher than the ramekin height to allow the cake to raise straight up).
  3. Separate the egg yolk from the egg white and place them in 2 separate bowls, making sure there is no egg yolk (not even a drop) mixed in with the egg white. Repeat the process with all the eggs.
  4. Beat the egg yolks add the sugar and beat together until combined. Add then the flour and the baking powder and beat well together until perfectly combined.
  5. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks – this helps trap air and create lightness – and add them to the beaten yolks mix bowl. Mix well together.
  6. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  7. Add a few blueberries in each of the ramekins and pour the cake batter in each of them up to ¾ full.
  8. Bake in the middle of the oven for 35 min at 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
  9. Remove from the oven and leave to cool down.
Notes
For a more indulgent version of this cake you can melt dark chocolate, pour it over the cakes and add on top a few of your favourite berries.
