This is an old Kellogg’s All-bran recipe that was in their recipe book back in the day. My mum used to make this recipe and then I started making it in the early 1990’s . My mum swapped milk for tea and the results were amazing. Basically you need to boil the kettle as if you’re making a cup of tea.
Put the teabag in the cup and fill with boiling water. Let the cup cool down and then add it in to the mixture.
Bran Loaf
1 cup caster Sugar or brown sugar
1 cup All-Bran
1 cup mixed dried fruit or sultanas
1 cup of cold tea or milk
Stand for an hour then add the sieved flour. Mix the ingredients and then pour into a one pound loaf tin.
Place in the oven at 180 Celsius for 45 minutes to an hour. Test with a skewer of a knife to see if it’s cooked. If the knife or skewer is dry then it’s cooked.
Turn onto a wire rack to cook . Cut into slices and serve with a cup of tea or coffee. This cake freezes perfectly and you can spread butter on the slices.
Share with your family and friends and enjoy this delicious recipe.
Simple recipes are often the best and when money is tight you can still enjoy homemade cakes and cookies. Freeze them and have something on standby for unexpected guests. Bake for a school fete or whatever else to raise money.
