Malt Loaf

Malt loaf encapsulates everything there is to love about tea time cake!  It is satisfyingly sweet but not too much so, it tastes fantastic with, or without butter (if it’s salted then so much the better!), it keeps well, it’s easy to make, and both the adults and the children enjoy it!

Don’t be put off by the addition of malt extract as it is widely available from health food shops and some supermarkets, and once you have a jar, you’ll be amazed at the number of recipes that include it!
