It's the 4 ingredient recipe, but I add blueberries.

1 cup self raising flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

In a bowl, mix flour, coconut, milk and sugar. Lightly fold in blueberries.

Spoon into a lined loaf tin

Bake 160 degrees fan forced or 180 degrees for 1 hour, or until cooked.

Wow, so easy

Very! Sometimes I've used 1/2 cup blueberries, depending on their size. Also, raspberries are nice too. It's not a large cake, just a medium sized loaf pan.

I'm going to make this today. Have you used frozen berries in it. I'm also wondering how it would go will raisins and sultanas

Yes I mostly use frozen berries as they're cheaper. I have made it with sultanas many years ago. It was okay.
The original recipe is 1 cup of sugar, but I found it was too sweet.

I love the sound of this recipe and will make it today but I have been making everything either blueberries or banana's.

I made a carrot cake yesterday using walnuts due to my daughters insistence and 1 am this morning remember my 36 year old son loves carrot cake and he is allergic to walnuts so I jumped out of bed to put a sign on it

Such an easy recipe - I would probably double all the ingredients

You could. If I have visitors I bake 2 at the same time. The other loaf with raspberries.
I keep all my recipes/photo for archiving on my PC. Hence this photo.

 

[Irene Anthony]

Good idea - I will make 2 separate loafs

 

[Suzanne rose]

I'm going to make one today but I'm going to try the sultanas and raisins.

I just sent this recipe to my daughter

Whenever I bake with sultanas, raisins and cherries (even nuts) they always seem to end up at the bottom of the cake - what am I doing wrong ?

They often do. My take on it is they are heavy compared to other fruits so they sink. However, not with a thick mixture like a Christmas cake.

For the lady who enquired about her fruit sinking, toss the fruit lightly in flour and lightly fold through mix.

Thanks for this

Before you add them to the batter toss them in flour and make sure they are covered. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom when cooking. xx

Thank you

Are you mixing them through enough

 

[Irene Anthony]

I do mix them in thoroughly - I am going to try tossing them in flour.
