I've done an apple and cinnamon one and on Sunday we had pineapple and coconut which was gorgeous.I got it to cook all the way through this time.I think it's to do with the depth and size of your dish.It needs to be wide and shallow.

Could you taste the coconut in yours because we couldnt and i put about 2 tablespoons in but it was nice
I cooked it in a shallow one on my second and third and it was cooked right through
Do you think you could slice bananas up and put in ?
Im not sure if you could or it would work so thought i would ask before i done it

not looked at this for a while as we've had server probs at work.
Black Saturn - Thank you, my kids are almost living off your onion bahjees [and they can make them themselves, even better]

I have also made cobblers using dried fruit but you have to soak the fruit in hot water or tea first for about 30 minutes.

I put about a cup (same size as the one I used for measuring other ingredients) of coconut,so yes it was very coconutty.I bet bananas would be gorgeous,I put them in crumble sometimes.

I tried the malt loaf yesterday and followed BS's instructions to the letter. It was in the oven at 180 degrees for 1 hour 20 mins ish. When I sliced a bit off it was still raw looking in the middle so I put it back in the oven for another half an hour.

When it came out it was like a brick but still soggy on the inside. Where have I gone wrong :mad:

I've got another one in the oven now with a little bit less tea this time, only had 1 weetabix left though so had to make it up with Shreddies .
