This is a wonderful dessert to surprise people with during the holidays! The cranberries give it a beautiful festive look and complement the sweet pineapples wonderfully! The best part is how low-calorie and low fat it is. Using club soda and applesauce instead of eggs and oil saves serious calories (and makes it vegan)!
Rich and delicious spice cake pairs sweet potatoes with chocolate for an enticing dessert. It truly is a “yammy” addition to any dinner party!
Thin this out with a touch of orange juice or olive oil for a delicious, zippy salad dressing, or use as is for a great toast or cracker spread. Delicious with roasted vegetables too.

You could served it sliced or as a whole loaf." I hope I can do her justice! This bread smells like Heaven while it spends it's (admittedly long) term in the oven, but don't open the oven door until it's at LEAST 30 minutes into the bake time - the low, long bake is key to the moisture.
Next time I make this I'm going to try adding dried cherries and apricots to the mixture.You can probably get up to 8oz of dry fruit total into the cake.
Need a new yeast bread to have for your morning toast? This devilishly decadent loaf is a star - moist and tender from a milk, honey and banana - yes banana! - base, and riddled with toffee bits for bites of sweet surprise! A wholesome, protein and fibre filled dough with soy flour, oats and bran mean you'll be able to keep going well into lunch!
A lower fat version of coconut creme pie that could be reduced even more; this is a little indulgent but will cure a sweet tooth
This is a cake that is just about all nuts with just enough batter to hold them together. I make it in loaf pans so that I can freeze one and we serve it sliced in 1/2 inch thick slices. Actually on a dessert platter, I cut the slices in half as a better portion size when served with other cookie or sweet options. It has bee revised with egg beaters and splenda to improve the counts a little.
Whole grain cereal, sunflower seeds and dried fruit get a tad tipsy on Grand Marnier before being kneaded into a whole wheat and rye sourdough and baked to crispy perfection! Raisin bread just won't seem the same anymore.
I was inspired by a Wild Yeast recipe I saw http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2009/12/06/fr
uit-and-nut/ for a fruit and nut studded sourdough loaf taken from the book "Bread Matters". Since I had a ton of random ingredients to use up and a starter to refresh anyway, I modified Susan's ingredients but kept her basic method to create this delicious, hearty loaf.
Makes 1 large loaf, 20 slices
Turned from a banana gingerbread loaf by Nicole (http://tinyurl.com/mt44s4) into mini-cupcakes for easier transport and lunchbox packing! I changed the name to a "spice" rather than "ginger" cake because with all the flavours in the batter it's impossible to pick out just one!
