Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 85 g (6 Tablespoons) vegan block butter
- 75 g (6 Tablespoons) caster or granulated sugar
- 50 g (2 Tablespoons) marmalade
- 50 g (2 Tablespoons) golden syrup
- 90 g (6 Tablespoons) unsweetened non-dairy milk (I use soy)
- 175 g (1 ¼ cups + 2 Tablespoons) self-raising flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons mixed spice (or pumpkin spice)
- 100 g (⅔ cup) mixed dried fruit or sultanas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160℃/140℃ fan/325℉/gas mark 3. Grease a 2 lb loaf tin and line it with baking parchment.
- Place the vegan butter, marmalade, golden syrup and sugar in a pan over a low heat and stir until melted. Remove from the heat, stir in the milk and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the self-raising flour, mixed spice and dried fruit until no dry patches remain.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and spread it level.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
Notes
- See post above for tips, details and step-by-step photos.
- USE SCALES. As with all of my baking recipes I really do recommend using the metric measurements with a digital scales rather than the cup conversions. Cups are a wildly inaccurate measuring system and you will get far better, more consistent results using a scale, not to mention that it is also easier and less messy than cups!
