Ingredients

  • 2.5 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 cup Apple Juice I used 1 cup Apple puree
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Ginger Powder / Sonti
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg Powder
  • 1 tbsp Walnuts Powder
  • 1 tbsp Almonds Powder
  • 4 tbsp Egg Replacer for 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Cooking Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 185
  • I halved the recipe and made with only 2 tbsp Egg replacer for which I need to use 6 tbsp water. Mix the Egg Replacer powder with water, blend well and keep it aside.
  • In a bowl, mix the flours, ground almonds, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
  • Next add the apple puree, honey, oil and egg replacer mix along with brown sugar.
  • Gently combine all the ingredients using a spatula to get a lump less batter. If the batter is thick, you can add 2 tbsp water.
  • Grease and line a 8 inch loaf pan and pour the batter into it. Pat on the counter to even it out.
  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Let the cake rest for at least 6 hours before you slice it.
  • It is mentioned that this cake tastes best after 24 hours.

Notes

I halved the recipe and made one loaf.
The original cake had a rich amber colour. Mine was a pale brown colour.
I skipped adding 1/2 tsp of other Spices like ground mace and cloves.
I also skipped 3 tbsp whiskey.
Since I added thick apple puree, the batter was little on the thicker side, so I had to add 2 tbsp water to make the batter little thinner.
