Celebrating a decade of writing, a cake inspired by the compost bin reflects on waste and creativity. The compost bin offers ingredient inspiration, encouraging the use of leftover vegetables and fruits. A recipe for a moist cake incorporates 300g of fruit and vegetable scraps alongside other ingredients like oil and wholemeal flour. Optional coconut icing can enhance the cake. The baking process emphasizes resourcefulness by utilizing potential ingredients from the compost bin or kitchen scraps.
The compost bin is more than a place for leftovers; it's a source of inspiration, as well as a way to reflect on what we waste.
This recipe makes a large, moist cake that needs a good-sized pan and takes longer to cook than you might think.
Be inventive but discerning with what you include; think beetroot, squash, apple or citrus zest, and leave the garlic and red onion for another day.
If you keep a raw-ingredient compost bin, you can even pick through it for potential ingredients to incorporate into this cake.
