handful of chopped dates
1tbsp coconut
1 bananna
1 chopped peeled apple
milk to mix

3. add dates

4. add bannana and apple

5. bake at gas mark 4 for 1.25 hours with foil on top after 0.5 hour.

6. Slightly crumbly. Probably still needs work on getting it firmer. The taste is there though - nice cake :)
