\nMy Nana used to bake this if she knew we were coming to visit, and I bake it often for my family for after school snacks.\u00a0 It’s nice to be able to serve them something that I used to enjoy when I was their age.\u00a0 This loaf cake is so quick and easy to make, filling because of added Weetabix, and delicious with a cuppa.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nNana’s Fruit Loaf Cake<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n150g\/1 cup dried fruit, I use either chopped dates or mixture of chopped dried apricots and raisins
\n215g\/1 cup white sugar
\n50g butter or baking spread, melted
\n80g\/4 Weetabix\/wheat biscuit cereal, crushed finely
\n1 tsp baking powder
\n1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
\n1 tsp cinnamon\/vanilla bean paste (optional)
\n250ml\/1 cup freshly boiled water
\n1 large free range egg
\n160g\/1 cup plain flour<\/p>\n

\nPreheat your oven to 18-C\/160C Fan\/350F\/Gas Mark 4.\u00a0 Grease and line a loaf tin, mine was a 900g\/2lb loaf tin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nPut the first 8 ingredients into a large bowl, give it a good stir to combine, then leave for 5 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nOnce the mixture has cooled slightly sift in the flour and add the beaten egg.\u00a0 Stir gently to until completely incorporated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nPour into greased and lined loaf tin then bake for 35 – 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out free from crumbs.\u00a0 I usually cook the loaf for 35 minutes then check it every 5 minutes after that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nLeave to cool in the tin for around 15 minutes before turning out on to a wire rack to cool completely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
