Prune and Almond Cake

Today I'm coming with yet another new and interesting recipe in which I want to show you how to prepare a delicious and special low-fat, low-sugar homemade cake, with care for the digestive system of your family.

I made so many healthy desserts, but this almond and prune cake made me say "Wow!" when I first tasted it. It has a subtle aroma of almonds, vanilla and plums, it's tender, fluffy, soft, therefore perfect and healthy!

Notice that we only have 3 tablespoons of sugar and 5 tablespoons of oatmeal (which you can replace with a different one - wheat, wholemeal, buckwheat, rice, rye etc.). I would also mention that I did not expect such a light cake to have such a complete and special taste.
