Ingredients

175 g wholemeal flour

125 g plain flour

1 tbsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

2 tbsp ground almonds

175 g unsalted butter, softened

175 ml maple syrup or other liquid sweetener of choice

1 tbsp orange zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

80 ml milk

3 tbsp caraway seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F.

Grease a 2lb, 900g loaf tin and line with parchment paper.

Mix together in a medium bowl the flours, baking powder, salt and almonds and set aside.

Using a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well between each one. Scrape down the side of the bowl whenever necessary.

Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in stages alternating with milk, until fully incorporated. Fold in the caraway seeds.

Transfer the batter to the prepared tin. Sprinkle the top with sugar and bake for 50-60 minutes or until light golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Cool in tin for 10 minutes. Remove from tin and cool completely on a wire rack.

Serve sliced, buttered if wished, or with a dash of cream or whipped cream.
