JD - I've eaten this 2 different ways. A slice with butter and as a dessert for lunch with custard. Thanks Uni, nice one.
Denzelmum - Super easy and super moist. I put dried apricot and dates. Two people asked for recipe. Thanks Fundj!

Reading the forum over breakfast, found this and it is in the oven. Fundj, you are fast becoming the Queen of Quick Recipes ;D ;D

I wish it was easy to find Weetabix here.
It's possible to order it online but I have gotten some that was rather stale so I gave up on it.
We have shredded wheat but it is not the same.

Thanks fundj, nice one :-*

Mmmm. I may have to buy a small packet of weetbix when we go into Shark Bay next week. Morning tea and dessert all in one.
-
Andie would you like me to send you a small box of Weetbix - it couldn't possibly go stale in the week that it would take to get to you. Just pm me your address if you want one.
-
Thanks for the offer Judy. However, I don't think I will need it as after I posted that yesterday, I got an email from a visitor,( probably someone I recommended to the forum because they have my email address) with a source for an almost identical cereal product made by Quaker.
I haven't seen it in my local supermarkets but my informant says the local health food store carries it.
Hooray!
-
Good to hear andie.
-
Need help - how many grams is 3 tbsp of butter?
-
Just weighed some Denzelmum - bit difficult with hard butter but it's around about 45g.

Thank you so much, JD! :-* :-* :-*

your welcome, I double the recipe, and freeze one of the loaf
nice with walnuts 2
-
Oh no! In the middle of this and just realised that I don't have any egg! Any suggestions???
-
kerryn you can use 1 small banana mashed or 1/4 cup apple or prune puree and will have to add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder per egg replaced. Some of the stranger things as a replacement are 3 tblspns mayonnaise or a 1/4 cup silken tofu.
-
Thanks JD. I did a quick internet search and found the tofu option - had some left over from making a chocolate pudding recipe earlier in the week, so added this. The site I saw said to also add 2 tsp of cornstarch which I did, but didn't mention any extra baking soda. Fingers crossed...
-
Will be interested in the results Kerryn - I've made cakes without eggs before and you wouldn't know they were not in there so unless it explodes like Cookies garlic, you should be fine :D
-
Sadly this was not a family favourite. The loaf was very dense, a bit crumbly and didn't rise - so that extra bicarb most certainly was necessary.
I wouldn't associate this lack of success with the recipe though - it just shows that you can't substitute silken tofu and cornflour for egg, and possibly that using wholemeal SRF is also not the best adaption in this one either.
It would be good to remake it using the proper ingredients and see the comparison.
-
Bad luck Kerryn, try again as you said - it is a lovely cake and freezes well too.
