  • 70g White granulated sugar
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 235g 0% fat Greek yoghurt

  • 50g Chopped pistachios (set aside a handful for the topping)
  • 60g Dried figs, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

Step 1:

Whisk together all the ingredients except the flour. After a bit of mixing fold in the flour and sprinkle in the remaining pistachios.

Bake in a loaf tin for 40-45 minutes at 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Once cooled a bit drizzle with honey, serve with more yoghurt and sliced figs. Easy as pie!

P.S. Top tip: Gently stick a strand of dry spaghetti into your cake to test if it’s done. If it comes out clean its done, if its a bit wet still your cake needs a touch longer to cook through.
