Fruity Prune Loaf

I must say the flavour of this cake is a big surprise. The buckwheat flour's strong and, as often many people define, cardboard taste is beautifully balanced by the orange zestiness and the sweetness of prunes. It's a combination I haven't eaten before; but, it's so light and so good that I happily reach for a second helping :)


Ingredients:

• 100 g buckwheat flour
• 100 g prunes
• 1 orange
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg
• 50 g natural yoghurt
• 50 g raw honey
• 1 tablespoon bicarbonate of soda

Preparation:

1. Chop the prunes into a bowl.
2. Add the grated orange zest and orange juice.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, yoghurt, honey and olive oil.
4. Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda into the bowl and mix well.
5. Stir in the prune mixture.
6. Tip into a 20x10 cm loaf tin lined with baking paper.
7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C for 35-40 minutes.
8. When baked, open the oven door slightly and let it cool before serving.
9. Enjoy :)
