Here’s another healthy cake for you to try - it contains very little fat (especially if you use skimmed milk) and is a real tasty treat for all the family…

Honey Fruit Loaf

175 g (6 oz) wholemeal flour
0.5 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp black treacle
150 ml (5 floz) milk
o.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
50 g (2 oz) sultanas
50 g (2 oz) seedless raisins

Pre-heat oven to 170°C (325°C, Gas Mark 3) and grease a 450g (1 lb) loaf tin.

Melt the honey, treacle and half the milk in a pan on a low heat. Dissole the bicarbonate of soda in the rest of the milk and add to the pan. Mix the flour and salt together, make a well in the middle , and pour in milk mixture. Stir and add fruit, mixing well.

Turn into the tin and bake for 1.5 hours or until cooked (check with a skewer - pierce it through the middle of the cake and when it comes out clean, the loaf is cooked).
