Parsnip Apple Cake (Gluten-Free)

Why a parsnip cake?

Why a parsnip cake?

Parsnips are sweet, earthy, and nutritious, the perfect food for the colder season. Like carrots, parsnips can make delicious cakes.

Parsnips have a sweet, deep, and earthy flavor, and it’s quite a dominant flavor when cooked. The touch of sweetness and tartness brought in by the apple will counteract its earthiness and brighten up this cake.

Ingredients

- Hazelnuts or pecans - Parsnips - Pasture-raised eggs - Extra virgin olive oil - Rosemary - Dates - Psyllium husk - Salt, Pepper - Warming spices - Baking powder - Lemon juice and zest - Shredded coconut - Cassava flour - Apple

1

Coarsely grind the hazelnuts or pecans in a food processor. You want a little texture, so don’t process them all the way to becoming flour. Take the nuts out and measure 2/3 cup. Don’t clean the food processor, you will use it again.
