Easy Malt Loaf

Easy Malt Loaf This was one of the first recipes I ever learnt to cook...I couldn't actually believe that you could make a cake from cereal and a cup of tea - I still can't! This is so easy. A treat to make on a weekend afternoon when you just fancy something sweet. I would love to know of you're going to make this one, A x Makes a loaf 100g bran flakes or All Bran A mug of black tea 200g self raising flour 200g light brown sugar 200g mixed fruit 1 tbsp treacle 1 tsp baking powder 1 egg beaten Place the teabag in a mug and pour over boiling water. Leave for 20 minutes, before removing the teabag Heat the oven to 180C Add the bran flakes to a bowl and pour over the tea. Give them a stir and set aside. In a separate bowl add the flour, sugar, treacle, mixed fruit, baking powder and beaten egg. Add the soaked bran flakes along with any excess tea. Give it a really good stir until you have a thick cake batter. Tip into a lined or greased baking tin and bake in the oven for 50 minutes or until cooked through. Slide a knife into the centre and if it comes out clean it's cooked. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, before placing it on a cooling rack. Cut into slices when still warm.
