Ingredients

• 2 pieces Weetabix cereal
• 300 ml Milk
• 200 g Self-raising flour
• 150 g Brown sugar
• 100 g Dried mixed fruit
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Butter or oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a loaf tin with butter or oil and line it with baking paper.

Step 2

Crumble the Weetabix cereal into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk and let it soak for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cereal softens and breaks down.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, dried mixed fruit, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the soaked Weetabix. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cinnamon to give the cake a warm, spiced flavor.

Step 5

Beat the egg in a separate small bowl and add it to the mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually sift in the self-raising flour and fold it into the wet ingredients. Ensure the batter is well combined and smooth, without overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice the cooled Weetabix Cake and serve as is, or enjoy with a light spread of butter or jam.
