If you want a homemade cake that feels soft, fresh and lighter than a classic loaf, this skyr cake without added sugar is a great option. It is simple to make, naturally sweetened with ripe banana, and perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
The skyr brings moisture and a pleasant texture, while keeping the batter rich enough without relying on extra sugar.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the mashed banana, skyr, oil and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix gently, just until the batter is even. Do not overmix if you want the cake to stay tender.
Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Skyr makes the crumb soft and moist without making the cake heavy. Banana adds natural sweetness, which means you can skip added sugar while still getting a pleasant flavor.
Let the cake cool before slicing. Enjoy it plain, with a spoonful of skyr, or with fresh berries on the side.
This light skyr cake is an easy everyday recipe when you want something homemade, soft and not overly sweet. With a short ingredient list and a moist texture, it is the kind of loaf you will want to bake again.
