This is the richest, heaviest, moistest, most alcoholic Christmas cake you’re likely to find anywhere! It’s from Australia’s “Better Homes and Gardens” magazine (December 2002). The tablespoon measurements for the spices are correct – this cake is so flavoursome it can take this quantity of spice.
A delicious low-fat smoothie, sweetened naturally with honey, with extra nutrition from wheat germ and sunflower seeds, and extra flavour from cinnamon. A great morning-pick-me-up! I often take some to work in a Tupperware container with a firm lid, and enjoy it as a mid-morning snack.
This makes such a yummy loaf – adapted from a recipe in a magazine. Prep time does not include rising time.
I make this all the time, you will need a food processor to have a smooth texture, but if you decide to make it by hand then it will not be as smooth creamy texture and the flavour will be different.
Before you start make sure you bread machine has the dough setting. We often have pizza nights and use this recipe for a base, this makes up a crispy pizza base. This recipe uses Australia metric measuring tools – One Australian tablespoon equals 20 mls – Thank you Chef #223169 for the photo idea 😀
