2 cups Whole Wheat Flour -- self-rising
1/2 cup Margarine
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 cup Walnuts -- chopped
2/3 cup Raisins
2 cups Apples -- peeled cored grated
1 cup Carrot -- grated
1 Orange Peel -- grated for zest*
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons Orange Juice -- fresh or frozen
Grease a loaf pan with 4 cup capacity. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the flour into
a large bowl and mix well, then cut in the margarine with knives or a pastry blender, and
stir in the cinnamon. Stir in the walnuts, raisins, apples and carrot. Add the orange zest,
eggs and juice, then beat well until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture into the
prepared pan, smooth the top and bake for 60 - 75 minutes, or until the cake is well risen
and firm to touch. Turn out on a wire rack to cool.
NOTES : *Orange Zest is obtained by grating the highly colored outside of the peel. It is
best obtained by grating the whole, unpeeled fruit, with a very fine grater, such as you
would use for Parmesan cheese.
