I was just telling my daughter about this recipe earlier tonight and said that I’d lost it but wish I could find it again as it was lovely and had a slightly malty taste from the all bran, a real blast from the past as my Mother made it for years then I took over….thank-god for Google lol

Hi Mriam,

I have used this recipe to make minature Christmas cakes- but in small baked bean / tuna tins rather than paper cases. (Look for tins without a ‘lip’ inside, so that the cakes are easy to turn out when cooked. I made the mixture as usual, lined the tins with greaseproof paper and then filled the tins quite full, as the cake doesn’t rise much, it’s so full of fruit. I stood the tins on a baking sheet and covered with a sheet of greaseproof paper so that the tops didn’t cook too quickly and baked as usual, but for a much shorter time. I would just check regularly to see how they’re doing because all ovens are different. – look after 1/2 hr and take it from there. I guess 1-1/2 hrs will be about right. I think they would work if baked in regular muffin tins, but I would double line each compartment with 2 muffin cases. Hope this helps.

My Mother made this every week for my Stepfather -kept him ‘reglar’ she said. Searched the house for the recipe to no avail but found a Mary Berry one which is similar. Served it up in Village Hall and now everyone wants the recipe.

I am rubbish at baking, but remembered this recipe from my childhood. Popping to S……..y to buy all ingredients. Lovely with cup of tea and Wimbledon on a rainy afternoon

I used to make this all bran loaf using the recipe I had cut from a cereal box. A few months ago I went to find the recipe and couldn’t. I hae searched the Kellogs website to no aail and tonight hae just “googled” all bran loaf and there it is! This recipe is so easy and so healthy haing no fat in it.(Sorry my keyboard has a faulty key- the letter which comes after U.) Must away and get my all bran soaking!

I baked this recipe last night but just used half a cup of dark brown sugar instead of a whole cup. Tastes amazing and about a third of the calories! Yum!

I used this recipe and it’s fine but doesn’t say when to put the sugar or vanilla extract in?? I used my common sense bit maybe other people wouldn’t.

Brilliant! I’ve been looking for a recipe for ages like the one that used to be on the Kellog’s packet, i.e., in cup measure rather than weight.
Thank you!

The early All Bran packets had a recipe for All Bran Buns. Never been able to find it but I imagine the cake recipe is the same. I will try it and make individual small cakes.

Thank you. I’ve been looking for something without eggs to put in my egg-allergic son’s lunchbox. My mum reminded me that the bran loaf she used to make in the 80s had no eggs in, so I looked this up. It is perfect and so easy to make!

Thanks for this recipe. Was looking for the one I used to bake years ago that involved soaking the dry ingredients overnight in tea before adding the flour. Good for non-dairy-ites. Will try this recipe with tea. The tea adds a certain zing to the flavourand makes the cake lower in calories. I really enjoyed this cake though. A great hit with my grandsons.
