Dairy & Gluten Free Passion Cake

It's been a while since my last post. I feel as if I have been sick for the whole month of February. Not with tummy problems but with the flu. When I think I have something under control another health problem crops up. I am well recovered from the flu but now I've got sinus problems. Oh well, enough moaning...

Today's recipe is Passion Cake, which is a meeting between carrot cake and banana bread.


Ingredients:
  • 200m sunflower oil
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 3 tbsp rice milk
  • 100g grated carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
  • 2 ripe mashed bananas
  • 300g gluten free flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 50g chopped walnuts
Frosting:
  • 40g dairy free spread
  • 140g icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice or almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • cinnamon for sprinkling
Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a deep round 20cm loose bottom tin with a little sunflower oil and line the base with baking paper. Whisk the oil and sugar in a bowl followed by the egg yolks and milk. Fold in the carrot and banana. Sift the flour and baking powder together and stir in the spices and walnuts.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the cake mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Spread the frosting when cool: cream the spread, sugar and milk together. Then add the vanilla extract and mix.
