Important tips for making it naturally sweet

Since you don’t eat sugar:

• Use very ripe bananas with brown spots.
• Choose naturally sweet apples, such as Fuji or Gala.
• Use unsweetened dried apricots and raisins, without added sugar.
• Don’t add honey, maple syrup, dates syrup or artificial sweeteners.
• Check the dried fruit packaging for added sugar.

One important distinction: This cake has no added sugar, but bananas, apples, raisins and apricots naturally contain sugars. If you mean absolutely zero sugar, including natural fruit sugars, we would need a different recipe.

My recommendation

For a cake closest to your photograph, don’t leave out the dried apricots, raisins and walnuts. They give you those beautiful colourful pieces inside, while the apple, ban
