Easy Malt Loaf Cake
A moist malt loaf that has molasses as a star ingredient.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Early Grey tea, brewed
- 1 tbsp raisins (plumped up from tea)
- 1/3 cup currants, chopped dates, or additional raisins
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (in addition to coating the pan)
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup almond milk or milk of choice or more
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour of choice
- walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Coat your baking vessel with coconut oil that helps to give a nice thin outer crust and help prevent sticking to the pan. If you prefer less crust, then you can use a light dusting of flour to coat your pan or use a non-stick baking spray.
- Brew hot tea and add raisins to the tea. While you're waiting for the tea to steep and raisins to plump up, make the loaf.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Easy tip: you can do this in one bowl and even the same baking pan/vessel that you will use to bake the loaf! This is/should be a very liquid-y batter (like pancake) depending on the flour(s) you use tthat will come out moist. Bake on 350°F for 65-80 minutes until outside is the brown color preferred.
