Preparation Time: 15min
Cooking Time: 1hr 20min + 15min cooling
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients:
Dry ingredients
- 130g plain flour
- 70g wholemeal flour
- 200g granulated sugar
- ½tsp baking soda
- ½tsp baking powder
- ½tsp ground cinnamon
- ½tsp mixed spice
- ¼tsp salt
Wet ingredients
- 120ml neutral vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 120ml whole or non-dairy milk
- 1tsp vanilla extract or paste
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 JAZZ™ Apples, cored and coarsely chopped
- 50g walnuts, chopped
For the glaze
- 120g icing sugar
- 30ml orange juice
- A few pinches of mixed spice
To Make:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3.
- Grease a 20x7cm loaf cake tin. Place a long piece of parchment paper to cover the bottom and the two shorter sides, leaving the longer sides unlined. Make sure the paper is long enough to fold slightly, so you can use these ends to lift out the loaf once baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: plain and wholemeal flours, sugar, baking soda and powder, spices, and salt. Mix together well, then make a well in the middle for the wet ingredients.
- Into the bowl add the oil, eggs, milk, vanilla and orange zest. Stir together until completely incorporated, then fold in the apples and walnuts.
- Transfer the mixture into the loaf tin. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 1hr 20min, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the loaf from the oven and cool for 15-20min before removing from the tin. To do this, run a knife or small spatula carefully around the edges of the tin to loosen the loaf. Cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Once ready to serve, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and mixed spice until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the loaf and allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing the loaf and serving.
