Delicious WEETABIX cake!

I want to make the weetabix cake

2 Weetabix
113g (4oz) Sultanas
142ml (5fl oz) Skimmed milk
142ml (5fl oz) Water
113g (4oz) Self-raising flour
1 Teaspoon of Mixed Spice
14g (½oz) Artificial sweetener
1 Egg (beaten)

I have a carton of apple juice that needs used up, I was thinking of swapping the water for apple juice would that work or would it go a bit funky with the milk? Or I could swap the milk for apple juice but wasn't sure if that would stop the cake cooking properly.

Help? Please

Hmm well I hope it works because I've just put it in the oven with all apple juice instead of the liquids in the recipe. Fingers crossed.

Put in a batch of apple, banana & cinnamon muffins too so I'll have something tasty to eat even if the weetabix cake goes wrong.

Sounds interesting. Did you skip the artificial sweetner then? Let us know how it turns out.

Yeah skipped the sweetner too because I am hoping the apple juice will be sweet enough. I've had a peek and it seems to be working. Mind you nothing cooks properly in my oven anyway so who knows. I need a new oven.

Don;t see why apple juice shouldn't work I'll add this to the existing weetabix cake recipe to keep ideas together.

I was given this recipe by a friend although slightly different, I've also done a few changes myself. Everyone who has tried it loves and now has the recipe.
It's a great simple recipe for someone like me who doesn't cook much.

Have a go with this version hope you like it.

1oz Sugar
1 ½ Teaspoon Mixed Spice
3 Teaspoons Cinnamon
6oz Sultana’s or Dried Mixed Fruit (Sainsbury's do a great one with cherries in.)
1 Teaspoon of glace ginger chopped finely ( gives it a lovely warmth Sainsbury's again)
½ Pint Skimmed Milk
1 medium sized apple peeled and grated into mixture.


Crush weetabix and combine with the other dry ingredients and apple. Mix in the milk.
Cook at 170C (fan oven) for 45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.

If you have any left next day pop a slice in the toaster and it crisps up lovely again, then lightly butter yummy.

I've aquired 2 large boxes of weetabix and fancy making the cake in the post above. Can anyone tell me how many grams in an oz please as I don't really understand oz's:rolleyes:!

Also, I'm not a fan of Cinnamon so can I just add an extra tiny bit of flour instead?

Thanks

We tried the original receipe on page 1 yesterday with daughter and it was simple to follow and turned out good (me and hubbie like it but not our daughter).

I have also tried the weetabix brownies a few weeks ago which were good as well. Really chocolately.
