Despite my scoffing I don't seem to have put any weight on, amazing. I bet you hate me now! However as it is "New Year, New You" (naff x1000)and I've been meaning to put up the rejigged recipe of my soya cake up for ages so here it is!
Makes 1 big cake: 4oz/100g soya flour 4oz/100g whole wheat flour 2oz/50g porridge oats ¼ litre soya milk 2oz/50g each of sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and ground almonds. 8oz/200g sultanas 1 banana 1 medium sized carrot, grated 2 pieces stem ginger(in syrup),chopped finely ½ teaspoon each of nutmeg, cinnamon, ground ginger 1 tablespoon of honey
Put dry ingredients in to a bowl and mix thoroughly Add soya milk Mix well and leave to soak for a few hours (if too stiff add more milk) Put in to cake tin(s) lined with greaseproof paper and greased! No fat in this cake so it WILL stick Bake for 1hr10-1hr30 at gas mark 5/180C or until cooked through (use skewer to test), usually quite moist in the middle so hard to tell!
Scoff a slice every day - on doctor‘s orders(!)
For Christmas we put in a small jar of glace cherries and some dates, much nicer than real Christmas cake.
NB if the cake gets too mushy after a couple of days bung a slice in the microwave for a few secs to revitalise and refresh it
