For the Woman’s Weekly Menopause Cake you will need: 1 medium (150g/5oz) sweet potato, peeled and chopped. 100g (3½oz) dried ready-to-eat figs, roughly chopped. 100g (3½oz) soya flour. 100g (3½oz) wholemeal self-raising flour. 100g (3½oz) oatmeal. 50g (1¾oz) each golden linseeds, pumpkin seeds, ground almonds.
This cake is definitely not going to sort out all your menopausal needs, but it is a bit of fun to break the ice perhaps when talking about your symptoms (or those of family and friends) over a mug of tea and slice of cake.
To increase the phytoestrogen content, use soya milk rather than dairy in your menopause cake. Soya milk contains phytoestrogens that can be moderately beneficial for some (those women who convert them to the kind the body needs) during the menopause, and can help keep hormones a little more balanced.
