Auntie Susan's Favourite Apple Cake

This recipe from Bake a Difference* page 57 went down particularly well.  Also, it has the advantage that you can put 100g of any F/T fruit and nuts you happen to have in your storecupboard. I used 50g of Zaytoun Premium almonds from Fairer World^ (blanched and sliced) and 50g of Traidcraft sultanas.


I didn't make the caramel sauce because it was tasty without it.  And without the sauce, it is one of the healthiest cakes I've made recently.

Aunt Glad's Lemon Cake (only Orange)

This was a great hit!  The recipe is on page 13 in Bake a difference*.  I had no lemons so I had to use oranges.  I changed it slightly: only using 50 grams of F/T caster sugar in the topping instead of 100.




As I had to use oranges, I grated the rind of two oranges to put in the cake mixture and used the juice of one orange in the topping.




Both the sugars came from Traidcraft.
