Ingredients

350 g sweet apples about 2-3
1 tablespoon Lemon juice optional as not in the original recipe
250 g pitted dried dates
250 ml water
100 g unsalted butter
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
150 g plain whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan.
Grease a square 20cm tin with a little extra butter and line the bottom with baking paper.
Core the apples. Cut one of the apples (150g) into slices. Squeeze a little lemon juice on and set aside.
Chop the rest of the apple and put it in a saucepan with the dates and water. Boil until the apple is soft (about 3 minutes).
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the butter till it melts then stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Don't worry, it's supposed to foam up!
Put the remaining ingredients - eggs, flour, baking powder and vanilla- in a food processor. Add the date mixture and blend until it is combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake tin. Arrange the apple slices on the top.
Bake for about 40 minutes. A skewer should come out clean when it is ready.
