Recipe from World Cancer Research Fund: www.wcrf-uk.org

Ingredients (makes 9 slices)

  • 30g/1oz polyunsaturated margarine
  • 30g/1oz sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 90g/3oz plain wholemeal flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 3 tablespoons skimmed milk

Method

  1. Cream together the margarine and sugar in a large bowl.
  2. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder and mixed spice. Mix well.
  3. Add the apples, sultanas and milk. Mix and pour into a lightly greased cake tin, approximately 8"/20cm square, or similar.
  4. Bake at 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4 for 50-60 minutes.
  5. Cut into 9 squares when cool.

The squares will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight tin. You could also try grated pear instead of apple for a different flavour. Firm pears like the Conference variety are a good choice.
