Lincolnshire Plum Bread

Actually my Mums Lincolnshire Plum loaf cake is sometimes referred to as bread,  not sure it is to be honest!

However that’s what we’ve always called it and we’ve been eating it for years!

It’s so delicious, moist and packed with fruit 

Plum Bread or Plum Loaf 

So Lincolnshire plum bread or loaf cake – it doesn’t really matter!

You can use tea in the recipe however we have always just used water, so whatever you fancy.

This one’s more cake than bread!

It’s so quick and easy to make and it’s such a great loaf cake to wrap in foil and keep in the cupboard.

Mum always has one in her kitchen, ready for us lot!

If you like the sound ion this plum bread I really think you’d love my sticky Malt Loaf Recipe, why not give it a try 

How to serve your Lincolnshire Plum Bread / cake

In the north we butter it and serve it with cheese.

I know it sound strange BUT it is delicious! It’s not an overly sweet cake so it works so well.

It’s almost like malt loaf really – we have that with cheese too.

It’s the perfect teatime treat.

Really rather good if you like fruit cake but don’t want all the marzipan and icing shenanigans.

It’s an everyday version of a complex fruit cake, but easier and lighter, delicious!

To Make your plum bread…

This cake mix is made in a pan on the hob!!

Yes it is then popped into Loaf  tins then baked in the oven.

This mix makes two 2 llb loaf cakes, so if you only want one (why?) then half the mix.

We prefer the smaller cakes (and you get 2!!)

Loaf Liners?

Also before I forget, have you discovered loaf liners yet?

Oh they are fantastic, you can say ‘bye’ to trying to line a loaf tin!

I love them, so easy and you can find them in most supermarkets and they are not expensive either

So why not have a go at my Mums Lincolnshire Plum loaf / cake – and try it with cheese.

I’d love to know what you think. Please leave me a comment, I love your comments
