Carrot and Zucchini Cake
By Donna Bartlett
INGREDIENTS
1 cup of Hazelnut or Almond-meal
2 Tablespoons Melrose Organic Golden Flaxmeal
1/2 cup LSA
Two heaped tablespoons of untreated raw honey
2 Free range eggs beaten
1-2 cups grated zucchini and carrot (preferably organic or from veggie patch)
Generous quantity of Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 Teaspoon Bicarb Soda
Optional: sunflower seed, pumpkin seeds or walnuts
METHOD
Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl. If the mixture is a bit too moist add more Hazelnut or Almond-meal.
Add seeds or nuts to taste if desired. ( I usually sprinkle some on top and a few walnuts in the mix!)
Grease cake tin with paper towel and Melrose Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, pour in mixture and give it a tap so it distributes evenly.
Place in a pre-heated oven at 160 degrees and cook for approx 1 hour. Keep checking it as it takes awhile to bake because it is heavy.
Put a skewer in the middle to check if it is cooked all the way through! Enjoy the healthiest cake you will ever have!
