JudyMac's olive oil cake - Pear, red currant and walnut.

[Guest guest]

Sounds weird? Wait until you try it!

 

This one is my ginger, pear and red currant version...

 

8oz /225g self raising flour (or flour + baking powder)*

1 level teaspoon extra baking powder

5 oz /150g sugar*

2 eggs

5 fluid oz /150ml olive oil

2 conference pears grated

2 tablespoons powdered ginger

4 oz /100g red currants

2 oz /50g chopped walnuts

 

*If you want to use wholemeal flour do so, but replace the sugar with

the same weight of honey. This balances the liquid ratio in the mix.

I am working on a fully vegan olive oil cake at the moment.

 

Oz are weight, unless stated as fluid oz.

 

Put all ingredients into a large bowl and give it a good stir by hand

until well mixed. It will look quite runny - don't panic!

 

Pour into 8 inch round baking tin, and cook in a pre-heated oven 180

C/ 350F / Gas mark 4, for 45 - 50 minutes until a skewer comes out

clean.

 

Add frosting or other topping if desired.

 

Sit back and enjoy!

 

I am going to make my new vegan recipe tonight to see how it turns

out, picture on the blog tomorrow, if all goes well...
