Parsnip cake

Makes two bread tin size loaves or one large cake if you use cake tins & sandwich with cream cheese as suggested in the original recipe.

Ingredients

175g margarine/butter

250g soft brown sugar

100ml honey

3 eggs (beaten)

250g flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp mixed spice

250g parsnips grated finely

1 apple grated

1 orange – use the juice and zest

Directions

I didn't change anything in the method, so head over to http://notjustgreenfingers.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/winter-vegetables-and-a-parsnip-cake/ for the how to.

The only thing I changed was the presentation: I don't have two round cake tins so chose to use my bread tins to make loaf style cakes instead. I found the cake quite sweet & tasty on its own, so chose to omit the cream cheese topping/filling.

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
