an afternoon slice, or two, with lord landfeel

A cold, rainy afternoon with no plans and a jar of organic apple cider vinegar that needed using inspired me to make something cakey. I wanted to make this recipe http://nuttycrunch.blogspot.com/2011/12/fat-free-lady-grey-tea-bread.html but that involved steeping raisins and tea for a few hours, and I didn't want to have to wait that long for something cakey on this afty..the urge for it now was too strong!
So, instead I went with all the same ingredients but just changed them a little, and I didn't make the topping either, no blueberries, shall save for another cakey day though and maybe make beforehand to prepare for the afternoon cakey urge.

Ingredients

2 and a half cups organic wholemeal self raising flour

third of a cup dark muscavado sugar

5 tbsp marg (or soya spread)

1 tsp cinnamon 

half a tsp cardamom

1 small jar of organic apple sauce with cider vinegar

2 cups organic soya milk

1 cup raisins with mixed peel and currants

Firstly, melt the marg and the sugar in a small pan on a low heat, while this is melting put the flour, cinnamon, cardamom and raisins in a bowl. Add the apple sauce to the melting butter and sugar and stir until all is combined and melted, gently pour this over the flour mix. Mix well, but careful not to over mix, mix until all is just combined. Then pour the mixture into a well greased loaf tin and pop in the oven for 30-40mins, until golden brown. You'll be able to tell if the loaf is ready when sticking a knife in the middle and it comes out clean.

Enjoy! 

There's lord landfeel, great company on those cakey afternoons.

(Lord Landfeel was created by mi friend Mikk!)

That afternoon I also began the gnome book I bought from the 'rare and racey' book shop.

A lovely book for the afternoon before a snoozy nap.
