Yield: 2 Servings
2 1/4 c Unbleached flour
2 Eggs
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Canned yams; chopped
2 ts Baking soda
2 c Chopped tart green apples
1/4 ts Allspice
1/2 c Walnuts; chopped
1/4 ts Nutmeg

2/3 c Pure maple syrup
2 tb Cream

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking
soda, allspice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In separate bowl, combine maple syrup, butter, and eggs, and beat
with electric mixer for 3 minutes. By hand, stir in yams, apples,
walnuts, raisins, cream, and marmalade.
Add flour mixture a little at a time, stirring well after each
addition; batter will be stiff. Pour into lightly oiled 9x5" loaf
pans. Bake at 350°F for 60 to 70 minutes. Let cake cool 10 minutes,
then turn onto cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
