Kirsten Bacon's Jerusalem artichoke cake

The humble Jerusalem artichoke: you either love it or you hate it.

Not to be confused with the globe artichoke, the Jerusalem artichoke is a knobbly tuber that's easy to grow and great for your gut health.

It's one of Kirsten's favourite winter vegetables, and while she loves it in a soup or sauteed with some garlic, it also makes a delicious cake.

Her recipe below combines it with nuts and spices, similar to carrot or zucchini cake, topped with that ultra delicious cream cheese and lemon.
