Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup good-quality vegetable oil or 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup carrots (I use both) or 3/4 cup apple, grated (I use both)
  • 2 small bananas, mashed
  • 2/3 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/2 1/2 cup cranberries or 1/2 cup prune
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 teaspoon orange zest, finely grated and chopped

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream the oil or butter with the honey in a mixing bowl. Gradually beat in the egg. Mix in the carrots or apples, bananas and flour (All-purpose flour may be used with 1/2 tsp baking powder); add the raisins, cherries, cranberries, or prunes and zest. Add a little extra flour, if necessary, until spoon stands upright in the mixture.
  • Turn the mixture into a greased 7in shallow, square cake pan and level the surface. Bake until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes.
  • Cool slightly, then lightly score into finger-shaped slices using a sharp knife. Cool completely in the pan, then cut into fingers and serve.
