Shopping List:

600 gr plain flour
500 gr sugar, but keep some divided for the cinnamon sugar

2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, free range please
400 ml buttermilk
125 ml rapeseed oil
about 75 gr raisins or sultanas

3 teaspoons of Cinnamon to mix with sugar


What to do:

* Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease or spray and line your loaf or cake tins.

* Combine the flour, about 285 gr sugar, the bicarb and the salt in one of your big bowls.
In one of your smaller bowls you combine the eggs, buttermilk and the oil. Give it a whisk.
Stir this into your dry ingrediënts, then stir in the raisins ( sultanas).

*Combine the cinnamon with the rest of the sugar. Set aside.

* Divide half of the batter between your greased and lined loaf or cake tins. Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat this process until done. Cut through the batter with a knife to marble.

* Bake the loaves in your preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until a nice brown colour and a tooth pick or your cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the tins for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto your wire rack. These two loaves are enough for 12 slices each. Serve warm with butter. But cold is nice aswell!
