Cranberry, Apple and Pumpkin Seed Cake

This cake is summery, healthy (!) and easy to make especially on a whim as it requires few ingredients which are often ones that are already in one’s food cupboard. It only takes 10 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake. It can be made over and over again as the combinations of dried fruit and seeds or nuts are endless.

What you need:

250g Self-raising flour

2 medium apples

50g pumpkin seeds

30g dried cranberries

100g light demerara  sugar

10 dessert spoons of vegetable oil

1: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (or 160 for a fan oven) and grease a loaf tin with vegetable oil.

2: Grate the apples.

3: Mix all the ingredients together, making sure the grated apple is well mixed in, and add the spoonfuls of vegetable oil mixing it into the dry ingredients well.

4: Put the mixture into the greased loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
