It was popular locally and my mother in law used to make it in a loaf tin.  I felt nostalgic for it, and it was in homage to her that I made it. My husband has devoured most of it and gave it the thumbs up.  It is very simple and you barely combine the ingredients but it looks quite professional.  Simple so can be used as a base for a dessert, like Madeira cake.  It has to be butter 😀

My take on eating too much cake is that I can run it off. I just have to keep going further though 🏃‍♀️😀

Hate running but bit extra gardening helps , any chance of the recipe please would likt to give it a go hubby likes these types of cake rather than fancy ones .

I was in our local supermarket yesterday in the bread section. The young assistant was sad to reflect on the current state of affairs as regards bread. He said it was "very scarce" at the moment     I said in that case I had better hurry home and get some made 

[chrissie B]

Did he say why it was scarce its not in shops round me .

Brush round your tins with oil, then lightly dust with flour. When loaf comes out just wipe tins clean with kitchen towel - NEVER WASH THEM. Your loaves will slip out beautifully.

I use pan grease and nothing sticks any more, not even the bundt tin

What's pan grease?

[mumofstig]

As the link explains

This Pan Grease recipe is what I used at the bakery to ensure that all the cakes release perfectly with ease every time.

I made the recipe and keep it in the fridge, ready for use, it works in old bread tins as well 

[oldgrunge]

In other words, pan grease is a variant of how I dress my bread tins i.e brush with olive oil, and dust with flour. Only mine doesn't need keeping in fridge. BTW what's a bunt tin?
