This low cost turmeric and lemon parsnip cake recipe is one of the best you'll ever taste, freezes well and is great as a winter desert or an afternoon treat.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking pan (that holds approximately 900g) with baking paper.
2 In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, almonds and spices. Stir in parsnip and carrot with lemon zest and seeds.
3 In a small bowl, combine yoghurt, oil and eggs then stir into cake mixture. Pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle over dates. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.
4 Cool completely. Turn out of pan. Sprinkle with a little lemon juice and crushed pistachios. Serve with a sprinkling of icing sugar.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free self-raising flour and check ground spices and icing sugar are gluten free.
This cake will keep well in a sealed container for four days. It can also be frozen once cooled.
