Root Vegetable Cake

Root Vegetable Cake

Difficulty: Beginner
This is an utterly delicious cake using the root vegetable peelings from your mid week cook or your Sunday roast. Root veggies have a lovely earthy sweetness that develops with cooking that mixed in with the warm spices and maple syrup make it a complete indulgence. You can use the usual peelings from carrots, beets and potatoes or you can explore flavours with parsnip or cauliflower leaves.
