New Recipe

Happy Easter everyone. Bored now, ran out of paint for the garden furniture and difficult to get anymore. Have a few ideas but none come to fruition yet. However the wife gave me a new recipe the other day so I tried that out instead. It's a simple Weetabix cake and it tastes yummy.


Weetabix Fruit Loaf

Makes one 800g loaf

2 weetabix + 1/2 weetabix for topping
170g Caster Sugar
227g wholemeal self-raising flour (I used white flour)
85g seedless raisins
85g mixed peel and currants  (I used 170g mixed fruit)
200ml semi-skimmed milk

METHOD

Crush the 2 weetabix into fine even crumbs
Add the other ingredients and mix well
Blend the milk in fairly slowly until well incorporated
Turn the mixyure into a greased loaf tin 20 x 10 7.5cm
Level the top and then crush the remaining 1/2 weetabix and sprinkle over the top of the mixture
Bake at 190 degrees C for 1 hour or until a thick skewer comes out clean
Cool in the tin for 15 minutes and then turn out onto a wire tray and leave to cool complete
Wrap and store in the cupboard for 8 - 12 hours (It's worth the wait

AND ENJOY
