Description
Recipe taken from the book 'River Cottage. Food for Little Ones' by John Smith.
Ingredients
- Dried Apricots - 3.5 oz
- Pitted Dates - 3.5 oz
- Oranges - 2 pieces
- All-purpose flour - 4.4 oz
- Whole Wheat Flour - 3.5 oz
- Baking Powder - 2 teaspoons
- Cinnamon - ½ teaspoon
- Ground Cloves - a pinch
- Nutmeg - a pinch
- Almond Flour - 1.8 oz
- Raisins - 13.2 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 338°F. Line a rectangular loaf pan with parchment paper, approximately 1 liter in volume.
Step 2
Chop the dried apricots and dates coarsely and place them in a small saucepan, adding the zest of one orange.
Step 3
Juice the oranges into a measuring cup and add water to make a total of 350 ml of liquid. Add this to the dried fruits, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and set aside.
Step 4
Mix both types of flour, baking powder, spices, almond flour, and raisins. Add the dried apricots and dates along with the liquid and mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 45 minutes (to check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center—it should come out clean).
Step 6
Leave the cake in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool. The cake will last a few days in an airtight container.
