    Ginger loaf cake with coconut caramel

    For a tasty cake for your Bonfire Night festivities, this ginger loaf – drizzled with coconut caramel – fits the bill.

    Deliciously moreish, you’d never guess that it’s a healthier choice – it’s sweetened with maple syrup, apple, spices and coconut sugar rather than refined sugars.

    Makes: 1 loaf

    Ingredients

    • 220g butter
    • 100g maple syrup *
    • 250g plain flour *
    • 1 tsp cinnamon *
    • 1 tsp ground ginger *
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 tbsp milk
    • 1 apple, peeled and diced
    • 1 stem ginger piece, finely chopped

    For the coconut caramel:

    • 80g coconut sugar *
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract *
    • 100ml coconut cream

    * Available at Holland & Barrett

    Method

    Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan, and grease and line a 900g loaf tin.

    Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat together the butter and maple syrup. It may seem to separate a little initially but keep beating and it will come back together.

    Step 3
    Stir in the flour, spices, baking powder, eggs and milk, and beat until all combined.

    Step 4
    Fold through the diced apple and stem ginger and then pour into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

    Step 5
    Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes. Remove it and cool completely on a wire rack.

    Step 6
    When the cake is cool, make the caramel. First, place the coconut sugar with 2 tbsp water in a saucepan with the salt and vanilla extract.

    Step 7
    Dissolve the sugar on a low heat and then bring to a rolling boil until the mixture has thickened to a sticky caramel. You can test this by drizzling a little on a plate and seeing if it runs or sticks.

    Step 8
    Once it is ready, pour in the coconut cream and mix well to combine.

    Step 9
    Allow to cool for 5 minutes to thicken even more and then use a spoon to drizzle over the cake. Serve in large slices.
