I cannot believe anyone has ever tried this recipe. Baked it today - utter disaster. Took 2 hours in cooker, fan at 170c. Far too much fat, just greasy mess. When removed from cooker just collapsed. Followed the recipe exactly, so there is something wrong with balance of ingredients. Don't waste you time. Will not do again.
Baked this today and it is delicious. I used half butter and half margarine. Also just used a hand whisk to mix butter and sugar until blended then added the rest of the ingredients and mixed until this was blended. Added a handful of chopped walnuts too. Baked in a loaf tin for 50 minutes, then very quickly sprinkled a topping mixture (PREPARED EARLIER) of :
: 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar and a small knob of butter, mixed all together to look like breadcrumbs. Then baked until cooked, another 15 minutes in my oven. Will definitely bake again!
Yum Yum!!! I made this tonight, very easy! I don't own a processor, only an electric hand whisk from the dark ages. (Handed down from the grandparents) but I prefer to do these things manually, get a good work out, and a strong right arm :)
Anyway, iv treated myself to the first slice with a little custard, and oh my goodness this is scrummy!!! Not too sweet, beautifully light and just yum! I used butter instead of marg, and did add some chocolate pieces instead of walnuts as I doubt my children would like the but version. Next time ill include them, then I don't have to share ;)
