This recipe uses unsaturated fat and replaces some of the sugar with fruit to provide a healthier cake with extra fibre!
275g Glutafin Gluten Free Select Multipurpose Fibre Mix
2 tsp gluten free baking powder
2 tsp mixed spice
75g raisins
100g dark brown sugar
150g peeled and cored cooking apples, sliced
250g carrots, grated
1 orange – 3 tbsp juice, zest for topping
3 medium eggs, beaten
1 banana, mashed
100ml rapeseed oil
Frosting
200g 3% fat, light cream cheese
1 tbsp icing sugar
Zest of 1 orange
20g walnut pieces
1. Place the sliced apple, grated carrot and orange juice in a large dish, cover and microwave for 4-5 mins until apple is just softened. Mash lightly with a fork and allow to cool.
2. Lightly grease a deep, loose bottom 20cm cake tin with rapeseed oil and base line with greaseproof or baking parchment.
3. In a bowl, combine the flour mix, baking powder, spice, raisins and dark brown sugar.
4. In another bowl mash the banana and add the eggs, beat well, then mix in the oil.
5. Gradually fold the banana, egg and oil mixture into the dry mixture and then fold in the apple and the carrots.
6. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC/160ºC Fan/Gas Mark 4 for 40 mins or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
7. When the cake is cool, remove from the tin. Mix together the cream cheese, orange zest and icing sugar to use to top the cake, decorate with the walnut pieces.
Eat within 5 days, can be frozen for up to 6 weeks without the frosting.
