I just tried another couple of versions, I use mugs instead of cups. I used 2 small bananas mashed and a quarter mug of sugar in place of a full mug of sugar. I used half a mug of sultanas with half of sunflower seeds and linseed plus some nuts lying about that I crushed up. I used cinnamon instead of mixed spice. I now do it on gas 4 for 1 hr 15 mins. Result delicious.

Can I just check what is meant exactly by cup?

I've used a smallish tea-cup? That about right?

Mines in the oven right now, smells wonderful but Im scared of what will come out!

Mine is in the microwave combi oven at the moment and im wondering how long im going to leave it to cook. Seems like it shouldnt be too soft. Ah well the first time for things is always an adventure.

Is there much difference in the taste of raisins and sultanas. I only have raisins in the cupboard. I can easily get some sultanas but don't know if it makes much difference to the taste?

What setting did you have it on (I presume "bake") and for how long? Did you grease or line the breadmaker bucket?

I made one of these last week and it was lovely so made another one yesterday - well two. The first one had been in the oven for 30 mins before I realised I had forgot the weetabix! :eek:

Weeteabix cake without the weetabix :rotfl:

Actually, there wasn't a great deal of difference in the taste - not sure OH would have noticed. Even if I run out of weetabix, I would probably still make this......
