Recipe information-Parsnip and Maple Syrup Cake
45 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 200g grated parsnips
- 100g chopped walnuts
- 175g soft light brown sugar
- 175ml sunflower oil
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease and line a 20cm round cake tin. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the grated parsnips and chopped walnuts, and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and maple syrup until well combined. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cool, you can decorate it as desired. A simple dusting of icing sugar is always a classic choice, or you could whip up a cream cheese frosting with a hint of maple syrup for an extra decadent finish.
Conclusion
So there you have it, a delicious and unique dessert that will impress your friends and family. Give this Parsnip and Maple Syrup Cake a try and let me know what you think! Happy baking!
