APPLE AND SULTANA SPONGE RECIPE


Here's my recipe for the Apple and sultana sponge cake I made yesterday. Moist enough to eat on it's own or yummy with a blob of yoghurt, custard or ice-cream!


3 apples

75g sultanas

8 Tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup

100g butter/marg

100g xylitol/sugar or 200g cooked and pureed dates

2 eggs

100g gluten-free or wheat self-raising flour


Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5. Stew very gently the apples in a tbsp of water and 2 tsp of the xylitol/sugar, until the apples are completely tender. Spread the apples on the base of a pie dish and sprinkle on the sultanas. Spoon on the syrup. Beat the butter and rest of sugar together until creamy, then beat in the eggs and flour. Bake in the oven for 30mins until golden and spongy!
