Cavegirl Kitchen
Every Wednesday I will be posting recipes of things I have tried / tampered with or totally stuffed up on the food front. It’s all about trial and error and I love getting adventurous in the kitchen.
Follow me on instagram @cavegirlkitchen for all pictures and videos of my cooking adventures.
Nutmeg and Ginger Fruit cake
This cake was created as another emergency pudding and when we wanted a cake that didn’t just taste like a variation of banana bread. The dates make it sweet so not one to be eating all the time as its higher in sugar (but yummy).
50g Oats
50g Ground almonds
3 eggs
Chopped dates
2 tablespoons honey
5ml vanilla essence
Tsp Baking powder
Nutmeg, Ginger and Cinnamon (to taste)
Crack the 3 eggs into the mixture of oats and ground almonds and use a hand blender to combine,
add the honey, vanilla, spices and baking powder. Lastly stir in the chopped dates and spoon into
a baking tin.
Cook on 190 for 30 minutes or until cooked through
Carrot and Mascarpone Cake

125 ml flaxseed oil
60g full fat greek yoghurt
3 eggs
Juice of 1 large orange
225g ground almonds
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
3 medium carrots grated
100g chopped walnuts
Whisk the honey, oil, eggs and orange juice together until smooth, stir in the remaining ingredients
until combined. Spoon mixture into a cake and cook on 190 until cooked through, probably around
30 minutes.
For topping
