All bran tea cake with winter spices

ariarnia

ages ago (2009/10 maybe) there was a challenge thread that ran on for pages and pages. one of the recipes used weatabix nockoffs to make a fruit cake in place of flour (it was really dense more like a loaf but lovely with some butter). 

ive a pack of wheat biscs from the back of the cuboard that have a bit of a stale taste (more than a year out of date) so i was looking for a way to use them. 

anyone have the recipue i'm thinking of or any other ideas how i can use them up?

yes. but there are some dodgy recipes online so if anyone has any tried and tested ways then it would be nice to hear from people

In the past I have crushed them added a couple of spoons of sugar and used as a crumble topping on stewed apricots.

With a cost of living crisis, generic Weetabix is going to be my go-to storecupboard snack if I am ever hungry and the fridge is empty.

i think thats' why we had them originally. at one point i made yogurt in a flask and any odd bits of fruit with a spoon of tart yogurt and a crumbled up wheat biscuit or 2 fills a nice hole  

these just taste a bit cubordy if you know what i mean so need a bit of a stronger masking taste and theres only so much cake we can eat!

Really?
I have found some really great recipes online- given up looking in recipe books because I can find what I want with a quick google.

I think chocolate would hide the stale taste

I suggest you start a new thread with Weetabix in the title because then you are more likely to get ideas. This one has bran in the title after all
