Love this recipe, use it often, sometimes add a banana to it, everyone loves it

Made the loaf for the first time.Will certainly be making it again.Family loves it.

I have done this recipe a few times with a little added crystallized ginger. It's a firm favorite and handy in the cake tin this time of the year when expected and unexpected visitors arrive.

Easy, and yum.I use 1 tsp baking soda in the boiling water instead and add some chopped walnuts with the flour, cook, and then let cool completely,slice it really thin and serve it with blue cheese.
