Directions
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl (flours, spices, salt, baking powder)
In another bowl whisk together wet ingredients + baking soda (eggs, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ACV)
Quickly pulse frozen pineapple in a blender then add shredded carrot and goldenberries and pulse two or three times. Don’t over blend to retain texture. Add this to your wet mixture
Add wet to dry ingredients and hand mix together.
Pour into a small lined tin – either 15-20cm square or round Bake for about 1 hour (depending on oven and tin) in a 175 C oven – cake is ready when a wooden skewer comes out dry. (These could also be made as cupcakes but would need less time in the oven)
