Morning glory cake from Snacking Cakes: Simple Treats for Anytime Cravings (page 106) by Yossy Arefi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I'll be making this again. Great recipe from this book. Next time I would like to add the flax seeds on top.

    Made as a breakfast option. Used whatever mix of nuts and seeds I had for topping. Made the coconut (no pineapple) option, which was nice because it used more apple and carrot.

    5/5. This is a really great cake, especially because my partner made it.

    Excellent! - Made as stated but only used 1/2 cup sugar, didn’t toast the pecans, used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour (I wanted to try ALL whole wheat flour for a more healthy cake, and since this came out so well I’ll try it the next time), and didn’t have flax seeds. Tested with toothpick after 40 minutes and it was done. VERY moist and tender and a great flavor - I could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting!

    This is one of my favorite cakes from this book. I had one sad carrot left today and made the cake for the third or fourth time. I definitely recommend the flax seeds on top - to purchase just a tablespoon or so for this recipe, get them in the bulk bins. I do turn the oven down to 345 degrees (perhaps mine runs a bit hot), and bake for only 40-45 minutes. I prefer a Granny Smith apple for this recipe. Also, the canned crushed pineapple disappeared into the cake, so this time I bought pineapple slices and cut up slices to make the required 1/2 cup, and liked it better. Be sure to drain thoroughly if using canned chopped slices.

    This is a great breakfast cake. It's not too sweet and packed with delicious fruit and nuts.

    This was delicious!! I called it "Beach Cake" for the kids because a) we were at the beach and b) the coconut and flax seeds make it look like a sandy beach. So fun! This was the first cake I made from the book and it hit the spot.
