Ingredients
- 100 g All Bran Cereal or Bran Buds
- 100 g Caster Sugar
- 150 g Sultanas
- 300 ml Full Fat Milk or Semi-skimmed milk
- 100 g Plain Flour or All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
Instructions
- Before starting, soak the sultanas in hot water for 10 minutes and then drain. Alternatively, you can soak the fruit in hot tea for a deeper flavour.150 g Sultanas
- In a large mixing bowl, add the All Bran, caster sugar and soaked fruit. Add the milk and mix everything together until well-combined.100 g All Bran Cereal, 100 g Caster Sugar, 300 ml Full Fat Milk
- Leave the ingredients to soak in the milk for at least 1 hour, or for best results overnight in the fridge if possible.
- When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 180C/ 350F and line a 1lb loaf tin with baking parchment.
- Sieve together the flour and baking powder and add to the wet ingredients. Fold in the dry ingredients until everything is well-combined and you have a thick cake batter. Pour into the loaf tin and level off.100 g Plain Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder
- Pour the batter into the lined loaf tin and level off with a palette knife. Place the filled loaf tin on a baking tray.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden on top. Test the cake with a skewer, if it comes out clean the loaf is ready; if not bake for a further 5 minutes and test again. As the mixture is sticky you might see some residue on the skewer but this should be minimal.
- When the fruit loaf is baked, remove from the oven and using the baking parchment lift the loaf cake out of the pan straight away. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Notes
What size baking pan do I need to use?
I prefer to use a 1lb loaf tin for this recipe to get the perfect depth for your bran loaf. If you only have a 2lb loaf tin, you can use this but the cake will not be as deep.
How many slices does the bran fruit loaf serve?
The recipe will make 10-12 slices, depending on how thick you slice them!
How should I store the bran loaf?
The all bran fruit loaf is best stored in an air-tight container; either whole or as individual slices and will keep for 3-4 days if stored correctly.
Can I freeze the bran loaf?
The bran loaf can be frozen, either as individual slices or as a whole loaf. Make sure when freezing that you wrap the loaf in clingfilm. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months and defrost thoroughly before eating.
