Instructions: 1. Place oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes.

2. Stir carrot and two thirds of sultanas into egg mixture.

3. Fold in sifted flour, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon.

4. Toss apple in lemon juice. Arrange apple and sultanas in base of a lightly greased 20 cm microwavable ring pan. Sprinkle with allspice. Pour in mixture. Microwave elevated in HIGH (100% power) for 6 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. If the surface still looks moist, lightly pat with a piece of paper towel. Turn out, and allow to cool completely.

Im thinking of making this cake. An untried carrot and apple snacking cake.

Ive tweaked it - with notes about how we MIGHT reduce the fat.

I think we can start tweaking a recipe like this - by reducing the oil about 75% and keeping 1 whole egg for up to 2 cups of flour. If the recipe calls for more eggs, substitute egg whites. this doesnt have much flour.
