For those using a gas cooker, could we please have gas mark? Thanks you. I haven't tried this yet but looks to taste lovely.

Whilst I was making this for my husband I didn’t see how it could ever work. However he says it’s delicious. Unforunately I can’t test it as I don’t eat nuts.

My late mother used to make this loaf. We loved it and would often eat it like cake, without spreading any butter on it.
