Sugar free, Party Piece Apple Cake

My party piece - an apple cake too delicious not to try!

It does not have sugar added, but does have butter, so not a dairy free cake this time.

I used spelt, but gluten free flour works just fine.

Just before you think this is a too big a job, I can assure you, this is a very easy cake to make!
And  this sugar free recipe doesn't stop sugar lovers from enjoying this cake.

Delicious Sugar Free (no added sugar) Apple Cake.

Put the following in a (magi-mix) food processor and mix until the consistency resembles course cornmeal: (can be done by hand too)

• 8 ounces spelt flour *
• 2 teasp. baking powder
• 2 teasp. speculaas kruid (which is a Dutch mixed cookie spice).  Cookie-spice will do the same, or mix mostly cinnamon, with a little bit of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cardamon, white pepper 
• 3 to 4 ounces of butter or margarine

Transfer to large bowl and add:

• 4 ounces of sultanas, or raisins
• 2 apples cut into small pieces
• (optional add seeds or nuts to your liking)

Mix together:

• 1/4 cup soyamilk
• 1 egg, gently beaten
• add the apple concentrate, or 2 tablespoons of homemade natural sweetener

Mix this with dry ingredients to create a wet-ish dough that easily falls of the knife.

Add more more if it looks too dry.

• put into greased and floured 2lb loaf tin (or a ring-cake-tin)) and level on top.
• bake in preheated oven 350-375F, 180 C, or gas 4, for 1 hour. (centre)

• Eat and enjoy!

( *you can also use gluten free flour, but in this case increase the amount of baking powder to 2 and 1/2 teaspoon and add more liquid)
