Gingerly Curry and Cake

Apples from WVU and winter squash from DeBerry Farm  are staples in my household during the Fall season.  The Chicken and Red Apple Curry recipe in Clean Eating Magazine was the foundation for tonight's entree.

1-6 oz. Chicken Breast
Cut in 3/4 inch pieces.

These little Ginger-Plum Cakes were simply delicious.  The recipe was inspired by Vegetarian Times.  Here's my take:

Ginger-Plum Cake
(3 Individual Bundt Cakes)

2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Egg
Beat with mixer.  Add:

2 Tbsp. Nonfat Greek Yogurt
3 Tbsp. Earth Balance Buttery Spread   
(I heated on the defrost setting in the microwave for about 1 minute)

Add
1 tsp. Lemon Peel
1 Tbsp. Shaved Fresh Ginger  

Stir in:
1/4 cup & 1 Tbsp. Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/4 cup & 1 Tbsp. All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
Dash Salt
Portion into bundt pans sprayed with Pam.  Top batter with 4 slices each Red Plums.  Bake at 325 degrees 25 minutes.  

The flavor combination was delicious!
