For those of you who were curious about the Weetabix cake I made. There are various recipes available online, but this is one which was passed to me years ago and that I have always used for making my own.
It's really delicious and so very simple to make, you don't even need to weigh out any of the ingredients.
You will need:
2 Weetabix
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of sultanas
1 cup of milk
1 cup of self raising flour
1 egg
1 cup = 250mls. I use a little less than a full cupful of sugar and don't notice any difference to the taste.
Place the Weetabix, sugar, sultanas and milk into a large mixing bowl and mix together. Cover and leave for at least an hour or overnight. Next stir in the egg and flour and mix well. Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake at 150°C for around 45 - 50 minutes.
I enjoy mine thickly sliced and spread with butter.

That looks good and I have weetabix in the cupboard bought in for family visiting in Easter and now they won't.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Sue. It can also be made using All Bran. X
DeleteWhat a lovely recipe. I will make this as a tea time treat. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great recipe, as it's so simple to make. X
DeleteWe had this Monday and Tuesday, it was supposed to last all week but too nice to not eat.. we didn't have butter and less fruit as we are following Slimming World food plan, at least we're trying to but very hard in these times.
ReplyDeleteIt never lasts very long in this house either. X
DeleteI have never heard of Wheetabix cake until you mentioned it in your last post, it sounds so easy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's always been a firm favourite here and can also be made using All Bran. X
DeleteYour recipe sounds nice, I may make it this weekend, thank you x
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you do, Cathy. I hope you enjoy it. X
DeleteThis looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join you for a slice!
For now, a virtual hug!
You would be very welcome, Billie Jo. Hug gratefully received :)
DeleteThank you for the recipe, Jules. I don't think I've seen weetabix in our regular supermarkets, but, maybe I'll be able to order it online (someday, when I graduate to ordering groceries online!)
ReplyDeleteYou could always use All Bran or perhaps Shredded Wheat. X
DeleteI'll give that a try

It's so straightforward, you can't go wrong. X
DeleteThank you for sharing this recipe, Jules. I make a similar loaf with Weetbix and it's always popular round here. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteThere are a few variations on this and not all recipes include egg. Once baked, it never lasts very long in this house. X
Delete{{ dribbles on keyboard }}, oops, sorry 😄
ReplyDeleteI'll cut you a slice :)
DeleteThat looks so, so good.

It's always popular here, Joy. X
DeleteYum, that looks good. I'll be as big as a house by the time we are through this pandemic.... Take care x
ReplyDeleteI think my waistbands will be feeling a little tighter if I'm not careful. Perhaps the shortage of flour is no bad thing. X
Deletemmmm this sounds delicious and Ive added sultanas to my nect shopping list JUST to make this xx hope you are all safe and well xx
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you Rachel. I hope you and your family are keeping well and enjoy the cake. X
DeleteThank you for the recipe. I started making a loaf last night, baked it this morning. Just sampled a slice with my cup of tea - it's light and fruity, very nice flavour. I used less than half a cup of sugar and found it plenty sweet enough. Easy to make, tastes good. Another big thank you!
ReplyDeleteI always think it's nicest enjoyed with a cup of tea. I'm glad you like it. X
DeleteIt's a very popular recipe. X
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Jules - I have a jar of Weetabix crumbs and not known what to do with them - thank you so much. I know if you like it I will. x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll love it, Vivien. X

It is, WoW. And it's all gone now! X
DeleteI thought I left a comment here already...I don't see it. Your baking looks delicious. I love butter, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie. You can't go wrong with this recipe, it's so simple. X
DeleteI used to make Slimming World Weetabix Squares. I'd forgotten all about them. As soon as I get some more milk (we're on milk rations until the delivery comes on Monday) I'm going to make some. Thanks for the reminder
ReplyDeleteI'll have to google that recipe now. I hope you get your milk. I haven't noticed a shortage here, but need to remember to buy enough for the week when I visit the supermarket. X
DeleteYou know what i'll be making when our cake tin is empty .... thank you
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Julie. It's always been a firm favourite here. X
DeleteYour blog is such a calming place to visit. I'm glad you are here.
ReplyDeleteThat's the second time I've seen Weetabix cake this week. I've never heard of it before, and now I am so tempted to give it a try.

That's a really lovely thing to say, thank you Sadie. The Weetabix cake is really tasty, you can also make it using AllBran. X
DeleteI’m definitely going to try this, Jules. I regularly make a tea loaf, which I soak overnight, but this one will be a nice change. Thank you posting the recipe! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's very similar to a tea loaf, and just as tasty. X
DeleteHow intriguing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? It's so easy to make and tastes delicious. X
DeleteHi Jules, thank you so much for this recipe. I've made it multiple times over the past 9 months or so and love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great and I'm so happy you're enjoying it. I might just bake some myself today :)
