    • I primarily make loaf cakes simply for the easyiness of making them using loaf tin liners but they all seem to turn out ok and keep well in the cake tin. 🙂

    • It’s soooooo easy with a loaf tin and loaf liner then just whisk everything together and bobs your uncle – you have a nice cake to eat. 🙂

  1. I’m impressed (you serve this with cucumber sandwiches too?)like the Barm Brack recipe I use, adding vanilla extract and replacing Typhoo with Earl Grey Tea!
