Hope this is the right place for recipes - sorry if not.
This is a delicious malt loaf, vegan but anyone non-vegan I've shared it with has loved it (& one fiercely anti-vegan hasn't yet sussed it and actually asks for it :rotfl:) It's also extremely easy to make:
12 oz of "value" mixed dried fruit.
1 mug-full of hot tea
1 large tablespoon malt extract
3 oz sugar
mix those ingredients and leave to soak overnight.
The following morning, stir in 12 oz SR flour. Mix 2oz of soya flour with water to make a thin cream and mix that in too (or use any other sort of egg replacer you normally use)
Pour into a greased loaf tin (should be dropping consistency, if not add some soya/oat/rice milk or water) and bake at Gas 3/170C/325F)for 2hrs. As it's a long time cooking, perhaps make two and freeze one.
Lovely with a bit of vegan spread on it 0 -

Isn't kahlua a coffee liqueur?0 -
I had an idea it was something alcoholic, it sounds lovely, shame I cant drink because of my meds. :rolleyes:Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Couldn't you just replace the kahlua with the equivalent amount of very very stong coffee. E.g use a 1/2 tsp instant coffee with just a tiny bit of water?0

I just made vegan cupcakes for the first time - you know, I always thought baking would be a bit less appetising with no eggs, but these cupcakes are really light - lighter than my old non vegan recipe I think. I was a little heavy handed with the vanilla essence (probably because of the flavour of the milk in addition to the essence), and they are paler than their eggy counterparts, but I will certainly make them again.0

My husband's called Matthew, I wonder if he's secretly building up a consumable spreads empire? :cool:
Thanks for the work on that guys, I had a bit of a panic there as I use it all the time xx
