Ingredients

  • 1 cup All Bran
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Self raising flour

1 cup Mixed Dried Fruit (I tend to use Apricots and Prunes for a juicier cake) & Almonds (if desired)

  • 1/2 cup or 1 cup Soft brown sugar (depending on desired sweetness)
  • A standard loaf tin

Method

  • STEP 1
    Grease and line your loaf tin, and preheat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
  • STEP 2
    Use a cup to measure the ingredients (I use my small measuring jug featured in the photograph.)
  • STEP 3
    Pour the All bran and milk into a bowl. Leave the All Bran to soak up the milk (about 5-10 mins.)
  • STEP 4
    Add the self raising flour and sugar to your mixture and stir.
  • STEP 5
    Cut up your dried fruit (if using prunes and apricots) and dust with some of the self raising flour. Add the fruit to your mixture and stir.
  • STEP 6
    The mixture should be thick and gloopy, if it isn't you may wish to add a bit more milk. Transfer the mixture to your loaf tin and put in the oven for 1 hr -1 hr 30 mins. Check on the loaf after 1 hr by putting a knife through the middle, if it comes out clean the loaf is cooked, if not leave it in a little longer.
