Almost Healthy Banana, Carrot and Fruit Cake

This cake has very little sugar and lots of fruit. No cake can be called a health food, but this is a close call!



  • 8 oz self raising wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 oz soft brown unrefined sugar
  • 2 oz sunflower seeds
  • 1 oz mixed fruit (or raisins/ sultanas) soaked in tea for an hour. 
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2  eggs, beaten
  • 2 medium-sized grated carrots

  1. Sift the flour and salt into large bowl. 
  2. Add the sugar and nuts.
  3. Mix
  4. Add mashed banana and beaten eggs.
  5. Stir in grated carrot and soaked fruit. 
  6. Mix well
  7. Butter a loaf tin
  8. Put mixture into tin
  9. Bake for 1 hour at gas mark 4 (350ºF/175ºC) or until  a sharp knife comes out clean from the cake.

Did I mention that is tastes delicious?
