It's good to treat yourself occasionally as part of a balanced diet. This fabulous cake includes parsnips, which are an excellent source of fibre, vitamin C, K and folate.

- 250g parsnips
- 1 apple
- 50g cashew nuts
- 1 orange
- icing sugar , to serve
For the filling
- 250g tub mascarpone
- 60ml Agarve maple syrup
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180 C. Grease and line 2 x 20 cm sandwich tins.
Step 2
Melt butter, sugar and maple syrup in a pan, then leave to cool slightly.
Whilst the mixture is cooling, peel and grate the parsnips, peel and chop the apple and chop the cashew nuts.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs into the melted butter.
Stir in the flour, baking powder and mixed spice, followed by the grated parsnip, apple, cashew nuts, orange zest and juice.
Step 4
