MANX BUNLOAF (ISLE OF MAN)



Manx Bunloaf (Isle of Man) image

Made without eggs, this is a 200year-old recipe for a delicious rich, moist fruit loaf. The area and the Cumbrian coast was at that time a haunt of smugglers who brought in spices and exotics as well as rum, brandy and tobacco, and cooks made the most of it.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

18 ounces plain flour
2 ounces margarine
2 ounces lard
2 ounces brown sugar
2 ounces white sugar
2 eggs
18 ounces currants
5 ounces sultanas
2 1/2 ounces mixed candied peel
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon mixed spice
buttermilk, to mix

Steps:

  • No method given but judging from the ingredients rather like a rich fruit cake :beat fats and sugar, add eggs; sift flour spice and raising ingredients, then add with fruit and cook in a slow oven (150C - probably around 2 hours but needs experimentation). Alternatively possibly rub fats into sifted flour/spice mix and then add eggs, fruit and buttermilk to produce the required dropping consistency.
