Sprouts get baked

The British Sprout Growers Association has unveiled a new recipe for Sprouty Cake, especially for this week’s BBC Good Food Show in Birmingham.

The cake has been designed to increase consumption of the much maligned vegetable and is likely to be a hit with children as it features Brussels sprouts and carrots in equal quantities as well as nuts, cinnamon and a frosted yoghurt topping.

The sweet treat has already been tried out on primary schoolchildren local to BSGA chef Felice Tocchini’s restaurant in Alcester, where it was given the green light by kids going back for seconds.

The recipe is at www.sprouts.uk.com and visitor’s to this week’s show will be able to sample it for free on stand K30.
