RECIPES FRUIT CAKES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Peel and slice your banana and put it into a blender with your frozen fruit and the yoghurt. Whiz it up and add the oats and nuts. Add the soya milk, skimmed milk, or apple juice and whiz again, until nice and smooth. If it's a bit too thick for you, just add a splash more milk or juice and whiz around again. Give it a good stir, then have a taste. Rarely with a frozen fruit smoothie should you need to sweeten it, but if you think it needs a bit of extra sweetness you can add a little honey to taste — you won't need much.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and grease a 1.5-litre baking dish with butter.
  2. Peel, core and chop the apples, then place in a pan with 50g of the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cover and cook, stirring now and then, for 8 minutes, or until the apple breaks down. Spoon into your dish, leaving the excess liquid in the pan.
  4. Beat the eggs with the remaining 50g of sugar until fluffy, then stir in the vanilla extract, sift in the flour and spice and fold together.
  5. Pour the batter over the apples and bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean from the sponge.
  6. Dust with icing sugar before serving. Delicious served hot with ice cream or custard.
