Linds - four bananas in today's (as yet unsampled) cake: sainsburysmagazine.co.uk

Even my husband eats the 'bran loaf' - though I usually sprinkle some demerara on top before baking and he does prefer it with butter on.

1 cup porridge oats / oatbran
1 cup soft brown sugar
1 cup of mixed fruit (Aida likes sultana and cranberry)
1 cup milk
Mix together and leave to soak overnight / all day.
Add cup of self raising flour & and put into either greased, lined 2lb tin.

Bake at 180C until firm to touch.
This loaf will keep in a tin for a week to ten days.

Not American cup measurements just whichever cup you have.

That's a handy Grid you have there Purps!

Does anyone use tins anymore? I kind of miss them but our cake tins when I was growing up were re-used Christmas biscuit tins (not being in the business of spending money on anything if we could help it). Now I tend to use plastic boxes as they're more airtight, except for digestive biscuits which are exactly the right size to store in old amaretti tins.

I do see lovely cake tins advertised and if I had a bigger kitchen with excess worktop space I can see that they could be a decorative and useful addition.

You mean tins to store cooled down cake in until it’s finished off later that day? ;-)

It is really easy and adaptable to whatever dried fruit you have/like Linds. As I said - give it a sprinkle of demerara if you have some and it makes it a little more 'special'.

I love cake tins sallykate but usually use whatever leftover tubs I have apart from a couple of cheap plastic cake boxes for larger things.

I had a load of old shortbread tins, but have either used them to donate cake and left them behind or cleared them out because they didn't justify the amount of space they took up.
