Ingredients

  • 1 cup soya flour
  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 scant cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup flaked almonds
  • 2 pieces stem ginger finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • about 2 cups soya milk
  • 1 tablespoon malt extract.

Method

  • Put all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the soya milk and malt extract, mix well and leave to soak for about 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. or 190 degrees C
  • Line a large loaf tin with waxed paper.
  • If the mixture ends up too stiff (it should have a soft dropping consistency, just too thick to pour) stir in some more soya milk.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Test with a skewer and if it is not cooked through, allow five to ten more minutes. Turn out on a wire rack. Eat in thick slices with soya margarine.
