It’s a lovely, rustic bloomer for this week’s Cakes & Bakes. In the same way that blue cheese and digestive biscuits are a match made in heaven, so was our muesli bread & dolcelatte combination – a real winner
Cakes & Bakes. This spelt cereal loaf – I borrowed a recipe from Country Bread by Linda Collister & Anthony Blake – is a much more healthy option than most loaves of bread you’d buy in the supermarket
*I used Sweet & Tender Coconut by Sainsbury’s found in the baking aisle. This delightful Coconut and Raspberry Jam Loaf Cake is the perfect antidote with a pot of tea

Banana & Chocolate Loaf Cake. I don’t think it’s a secret around these parts that I love a loaf cake. That’s not me – so a loaf cake ticks all my cakey boxes
Pour the batter into the loaf tin, drop the reserved raspberries evenly over the top and bake for about an hour until browned (a skewer poked into the cake should come out clean)
This blog which started as an online cookery book has given me a great insight into baking and has transformed me into a home baker who is now thriving to learn a lot about cakes and decorating techniques
I wanted to try something a little bit different and I had never tried to make a loaf cake so I found a recipe online and adapted it to suit what I had in, I was so happy with it
