| A lovely, lighter vegan alternative to traditional rich and heavy Christmas fruit cake – but still full of Christmassy flavours like cranberries, orange, walnuts and spices. Another easy but delicious recipe from Carol Kearns of The Art of Baking blog. |
The recipe uses camelina seeds in place of eggs so it's suitable for vegans, while the use of sunflower oil and mashed bananas gives the cake a wonderfully moist texture.
As well as being delicious, this recipe is supremely easy to make. I’m a huge fan of baking cakes in a loaf tin as they cook more evenly than using a square or round cake tin (no overcooked edges while the middle stubbornly refuses to cook).
The baked cake keeps well in an airtight container (indeed, it gets better and better) or it can be made ahead and frozen until needed.

* You can replace the orange juice in the recipe with 4 tablespoons of a vegan friendly orange liqueur such as Cointreau (and use the remaining orange in a fruit salad!).
This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! And I just so happen to have some camelina seeds to give it a try ?
Oops! Thank you for pointing out our mistake Emma. I’ve now corrected the recipe to say “soaked camelina” (ie the egg replacement) not “eggs”.
It says eggs in the body of the recipe?

These baked samosas created by Hema Mavers are filled with a colourful and protein-rich mix of blue peas, sweetcorn, carrots and warming spices, with a touch of creamed coconut for richness. Wrapped in a wholesome pastry made from wholemeal wheat and millet flours, they’re a delicious example of how traditional favourites can be reimagined with nourishing ingredients.
This delicious risotto-like dish is made with kibbled naked barley and spring veg. It makes a delicious meal in its own right or can be served alongside beans, fish or meat.
This recipe from Órfhlaith Noone is inspired by traditional Danish rugbrød - moreishly chewy, dense, and a great way to use sourdough starter. It’s straightforward to make, but it's worth reading through the instructions a couple of times to get familiar with the timings before you begin.

Lovely recipe, have made this with a lemon too, instead of an orange. ☺️
