    Method

    • step 1

      Grease and line your loaf tin, and preheat the oven to 170C/fan 150C/gas 5.
    • step 2

      Use a cup to measure the ingredients (I use my small measuring jug featured in the photograph.)
    • step 3

      Pour the All bran and milk into a bowl. Leave the All Bran to soak up the milk (about 5-10 mins.)
    • step 4

      Add the self raising flour and sugar to your mixture and stir.
    • step 5

      Cut up your dried fruit (if using prunes and apricots) and dust with some of the self raising flour. Add the fruit to your mixture and stir.
    • step 6

      The mixture should be thick and gloopy, if it isn't you may wish to add a bit more milk. Transfer the mixture to your loaf tin and put in the oven for 1 hr -1 hr 30 mins. Check on the loaf after 1 hr by putting a knife through the middle, if it comes out clean the loaf is cooked, if not leave it in a little longer.

    Delicious and healthy if you omit the sugar. I put a few dates in instead.

    I made this loaf with bran flakes (2 cups) and mixed dried fruit (1 cup). It was a lovely cake the fruit did not sink to the bottom. I did use1 cup of sugar and it was a little too sweet so next time I will use less.

    I use all bran flakes as I don't buy all bran. I use 2 cups of flakes and 1 cup of everything else. I also put walnuts in gives a bit of a surprise crunch. I've tried with various combinations of dried fruits, all depends on what I have. I've tried it with all different sugars to. All work out…

    The size of cup doesn't matter if you use the same cup to measure everything
