The ingredients for Parsnip and Maple Syrup Cake are:

175g applesauce
250g brown sugar
100ml maple syrup
3 large eggs
250g self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp mixed spice
250g parsnips, peeled and grated
1 medium eating apple, peeled, cored and grated
50g pecans, roughly chopped

icing sugar, to serve

Here is how you make Parsnip and Maple Syrup Cake:

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Put applesauce, sugar and maple syrup in a pan over gentle heat, then cool slightly. Whisk the eggs into this mixture, then stir in the flour, baking powder and mixed spice, followed by the grated parsnip, apple, chopped pecans, orange zest and juice. Divide between the tins, then bake for 25-30 mins until the tops spring back when pressed lightly.Cool the cakes slightly in the tins before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely. Spread filling of your choice (recipe calls for mascarpone and more maple syrup but any low calorie filling such as lemon yogurt or low fat cream cheese etc will taste just as good!!)) over one cake and sandwich with the other. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.Ps. I recommend waiting until after eating to inform your loved ones who dislike vegetables what the cake is made from.Serving Size:?12 Slices
