Perfect for the cooler months, this warming spicy orange and ginger loaf makes a wonderful teatime treat. Packed with fragrance and flavours from orange zest and fresh ginger, and a hint of spice from cinnamon, it’s a deliciously moist and soft loaf for everyone to enjoy.
What’s more, it’s delicious and full of nourishing ingredients like coconut oil, rice syrup and spelt flour. Once it’s ready to eat and still warm from the oven, top it with a creamy collagen-boosted frosting (recipe below) which I’ve made with raw cashew nuts, or spread some butter over the top and enjoy. Pair it with your favourite cuppa for your next afternoon tea snack.

- 1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger root
- 1 cup Chantal Organics White Spelt Flour

- 1 Tablespoon Chantal Organics Rice Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons ROAR Organic Coconut Milk Powder

Method:
- Firstly, in preparation for the frosting, cover cashew nuts with boiling water and set them aside to soften.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake and line a loaf tin with baking paper.

- Mix the coconut milk powder with water. Stir into the batter.
- Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- In the meantime, for the cashew collagen frosting, add cashew nuts to a food processor with 2 Tablespoons of water and blend.
- Add the rice malt syrup, coconut milk powder, collagen powder and the last 2 tablespoons of water along with the juice from half an orange. Blend until smooth and creamy (you may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything blends smoothly).
