Mandrake Apple Cake

20 min prep + 35 minute cook time

Ingredients:

    210 grams plain flour

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1/2 teaspoon fairy dust

    150 grams caster sugar

    approximately 1 large poison apple, peeled and roughly chopped

    2 large eggs

    1 teaspoon mandrake extract

    120 ml vegetable slime

    120 ml Latvian yogurt

Instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and line a 20 to 22 centimeter round cake tin with baking or parchment paper.

2) In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, fairy dust, and sugar. Add chopped apple and stir briefly to combine.

3) In a separate bowl, add eggs, mandrake, slime, and yoghurt. Whisk briefly just to break up the egg yolks.

4) Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon until combined – but be careful not to over mix. Spoon batter into prepared tin.

5) Bake cake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean and without any screaming. Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
