Yummy Tea Spice Cake

1 ½ C oat flour
½ C oat bran
1/3 C soy flour
3 Tbs Tapioca flour
1 Tbs Cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
1 Tbs milled flax seed
¼ C unsweetened organic applesauce
2 Tbs Vegetable oil
¾ C honey, Agave, Date, Prune puree (see recipe below)
2 tsp vinegar
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
scant 1 C strong tea (chai! or other black tea)

1) Preheat oven 350 F. Set the tea to steep: 1 cup hot water with two tea bags.

2) Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl and set aside.

3) Make Sugar Puree: Over medium-low heat, combine honey, agave, dates, and prunes (whatever mix you have available) and stir until dates and prunes are soft (about 5-7 minutes) and then blend in food processor until smooth. Easy!

4) Add the puree to the dry ingredients, along with applesauce, oil, vinegar, vanilla, and slowly while stirring, the tea. Stir until well blended.

5) Pour into a loaf pan (or 8x8 pan), greased lightly. Let stand for a few minutes.

6) Bake for 25-30 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack.
