Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 150°C/13­0°C/Gas 2. Line the base and ends of two greased 1lb non-stick loaf tins with strips of baking parchment

  2. Step 2

    Pour the hot tea into a mixing bowl with malt, Truvia and dried fruit. Stir well, and then add the eggs.

  3. Step 3

    Tip in the flour, then quickly stir in the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and pour into the prepared tins. Bake for 50 minutes until firm and well risen. While still warm, brush with a little more malt to glaze and leave to cool.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the tins.  Loaves get stickier after wrapping and keeping 2-5 days. Serve sliced and buttered, if you like.

Tried this malt loaf recipe for the first time and took them in to my work for my colleagues to be guineapigs and the feedback I got was that I should have made more and when was I going to do it again.....my colleagues are super critical so I took this to mean that the loaves are excellent and having a small slice myself(it was all I was allowed) I can agree they are excellent. They are super easy and thus has become my go to recipe for malt loaf.

Love this?

Made this cake today and everybody enjoyed it, I didn't have Truvia sweetener but instead used 3 teaspoons of Aldi Stevia powdered sweetener and it worked a treat. Will definitely be making it again

Love this?
