milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk is dairy-free, while water cuts costs.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, cooking oil, and sugar until well mixed.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the milk and vanilla flavour until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, gingerbread spice, and ground cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the grated apple, walnuts, and chopped almonds gently.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, dust with icing sugar before serving.
