Ingredients
Method
- Mix the coconut milk with the flaxseeds. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a loaf tin with parchment paper or paper basket.
- Mash the bananas with a fork, then add mixed spice, cinnamon, mincemeat and mixed peel. Stir in the vanilla, maple syrup and oil.
- Add the flour and bicarb. Mix well. Then pour in half of the milk. Gently stir and add more gradually – enough to get a thick batter. Fold in the chopped chestnuts.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared tin, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the cake in the middle of the oven for approx. 60 minutes until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When it’s completely cool, dust with icing sugar. Alternatively mix some icing sugar with little orange juice and pour the paste over the cake. Let it set and serve.
