    This recipe was submitted from the November 2009 issue of Foods Matter – now moving to a free online magazine! Corn, dairy, gluten, nightshade, soya and wheat free; can be egg and nut free This cake has no added sugar so is ‘fresher’ tasting than the average. If you need that sugar kick, add 80g dark muscovado sugar to apple and orange mixture.
