Ingredients
- 1 cup of shredded wheat cereal (such as Post Original Spoon Size Shredded Wheat)
- 1 cup of mixed dried fruits (e.g., raisins, sultanas)
- 1 cup of light brown sugar
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of self-rising flour
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded wheat cereal, mixed dried fruits, light brown sugar, and milk. Mix thoroughly to ensure the cereal and fruits are well-coated.
- Allow the mixture to sit and soak for about 1 hour. This softens the cereal and plumps up the dried fruits.
- After soaking, add the self-rising flour to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a consistent batter.
- Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 1.5 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on oven types and the specific pan used.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
