Carrot, Orange and Banana Semolina Cake

Ingredients

• 2 oranges
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup semolina
• ½ cup oil
• 2½ cups grated carrot
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 3 egg whites
• ½ cup dried cranberries

Method

Line the base of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.

Place oranges in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until oranges are soft. Drain, cool, then cut into chunks removing pips. Mash with a potato masher until very fine.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and semolina together in a bowl. Mix orange, oil, carrot and banana into dry ingredients until combined.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into cake mixture. Pour mixture into cake tin. Sprinkle dried cranberries over. Bake at 180 degrees C for 1¼ to 1½ hours or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning onto a cooling rack.
