So good! I used half strong white & half wholemeal spelt flour, mix of sunflower and olive oil, medjool dates instead of raisins. Took 1 hour 15 minutes to cook through (maybe because I added a dessertspoon of milk as spelt flour absorbs more liquid). Mixed dates in with the flour as the date…

It’s not like cake - very good but not sweet. We cut into slices and serve with butter.

Loved this cake but would like to make it vegan For a friend. Could I swap the eggs for banana?

Hello, thanks for your question. This isn't something we've tested and as baking is so dependent on exact measurements we would be unable t advise on this without it being remade. Best wishes - Good Food Team.
