I recently found a thread on which a few GN's said they love Soreen Fruit Malt Loaf. Well, so do I, but a friend gave me a recipe, using Shreddies, that is good if you " need" it urgently and the shops are shut. Here goes:-
INGREDIENTS
Use a breakfast cup ( about 200ml / 7 fl oz) to measure
1cup malted breakfast cereal ( eg Shreddies)
1cup soft brown sugar
1cup mixed fruit
1cup warm milk
1cup self raising flour
METHOD
Put the first four ingredients into a bowl and stir, then leave to stand for an hour
Mix in the flour
Line a 2lb loaf tin, and pour in mixture
Bake in oven at Gas 4 ( (180C, 350F) for 1hour
Leave to cool before storing, or slicing and spread with butter

This is quite squidgy, and does not rise much in the tin, but is good to eat.
Enjoy

My DH said this should be called Breakfast Cake, clowne as it consists of tea, breakfast cereal and sugar, among other things. He suggested adding a bit of bacon and a couple of eggs grin

Update; I have now tried the original recipe. It is far more like Soreen than my altered one, and will be the one I use from now on. I shouldn't have messed it about! smile

Another update: I made a different version yesterday, a sort of halfway house between the original one and your altered one shysal. I added an egg, but no stork margarine. DH and I have both agreed it's the best of the three versions I've made. Oh and as a slight variation I added a handful of chopped walnuts and included chopped apricots in the fruit measure. Delicious smile

I have bought dates and walnuts this morning for the next attempt.
