Cranberry Apple Tea Loaf

CC · October 2, 2018 ·

Vegan Cranberry Apple Tea Loaf

This easy vegan cranberry apple tea loaf is light in colour and soft in texture. It’s packed with fruit and the Christmas flavours of cranberry, orange and nutmeg.

Because of its colour, it’s one of those cakes in which you will need to use the golden variety of flaxseed.

It’s a very moist loaf, that rises well and has a delicate golden crust.

It’s advisable to chop the apple into small pieces – not much bigger than the dried cranberries. The apple will soften when it cooks and large pieces will leave big gaps in the cake.

The pictured loaf was baked in a long narrow tin. A normal loaf tin will produce a slightly taller cake.
