Carrot, Apple and Sultana Loaf
This deliciously moist carrot apple and sultana loaf cake has no added sugar and is low in fat. It's a healthy carrot cake which is a yummy treat at any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 150 g grated apple approx 2 apples
- 75 g grated carrot approx 1 carrot
- 125 g plain wholemeal flour
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 80 g sultanas
Instructions
- Line a 7x3 inch loaf tin with buttered greaseproof paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (160 fan).
- If you have a food processor, you can just add roughly cut chunks of the cored apples and carrots to the bowl, and blitz until it looks as though they’ve been grated. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and egg, and whizz briefly. Then add around 3 tablespoon milk until you have a softish texture. Finally, stir in the sultanas by hand (otherwise they will become chopped and disappear into the mixture)
- If you are making the loaf by hand, just add the grated apple, carrot and sultanas to a bowl, along with the dry ingredients. Beat the egg and add to the mixture with the milk and mix to a soft consistency.
- Spoon into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50 mins. Allow to cool, then remove from the tin and peel off the baking paper.
Notes
If you want to make a larger cake, then double the ingredients and use a 9 inch round tin. You'll need to cook the larger cake for an extra 20 minutes until firm to the touch.
