Apple Walnut Orange Cake Recipe

Moist, flavourful, soft and healthy, this will soon become a family favourite. Whole wheat {aata} and walnut meal take the place of plain flour, while honey is the healthy sweetener. To double up as dessert, serve the cake with a pourable warm custard on the side, or frost it with lightly sweetened low fat cream or mascarpone. Walnut praline and crisp apple chips would complete the dessert!

How to make Apple Walnut Orange Cake

    • Preheat oven to 170C. Line a 7 inch round baking tin with parchment paper.
    • Place the whole wheat flour, walnuts and crystallised ginger in bowl of food processor. In short pulses, grind to a fine meal. {Do not over process or the nuts will release oil}
    • Add the baking powder and salt, process briefly to mix. Reserve in a bowl
    • In a large bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and beat again.
    • Beat in the honey briefly, followed by the orange zest, Milk and oil.
    • Gently fold in the reserved dry mix, and then the grated apple and chopped walnuts {50gm} until the mixture is uniformly moistened.  Don’t overmix
    • Transfer batter into prepared tin, and bake for about 1 - 1 1/4 hours until a tester comes out clean
    • Allow to cool in tin, then gently turn out onto rack to cool
    • Serve warm or cold. The flavours mature even more the next day. Keep refrigerated
