2 1/4 C. unbleached flour

2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 C. canned yams, chopped
2 tsp. baking soda
2 C. chopped tart green apples
1/4 tsp. allspice

Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes. Let cake cool 10 minutes, then turn onto cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
