Easy Malt Loaf - Sweet & Sticky
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- Malt Loaf is a richly fruity loaf cake. So full of flavour. Sweet and dense it tastes so good, with some butter spread on it. Wrapped and stored in an airtight container it becomes more and more sticky too. It is also very filling, so is a great snack between meals.

So glad I found you. I’m a Londoner living in Alabama USA and I crave home food so bad after 12 years. Thanks for help recreating some favorites. ❤️
Hi Melanie. Welcome to the channel I hope you find lots of ideas for things to try.
My coffee is lonely. This looks like a warm dog and a good book. Thanks Geoff.
Hi Spiderbirdie. You are welcome. This is very satisfying.
It goes well with coffee but even better with Earl Grey tea. Tried this cake first time 30 years ago & just love it.
You deserve so many more subscribers!!!♥️🌹💕💐🌸❤️🌷🌺
Hi Chloe. Thanks very much. Hopefully more viewers will subscribe.
Geoff, I so enjoy your intro(music) and today you hit me with nostalgia, I left England and Malt loaves 47 years ago, very hard to find in this part of Canada, looking forward to trying to make it Mmm
HI Jean. I am glad you like the music. It is copyright free on and UA-cam Audio Library, and is called Jazz Me Blues. It's nice to revive memories for those who now live elsewhere. I have visited Canada many times as I have a sister who lives there. I hope you enjoy this loaf when you make it.
Hi Geoff, Love watching you bake and learning from you. You're the best! 💓
Hi Philip K. That's great. I am glad you enjoy the videos.
Thanks for the video. 😊
Hi. You are most welcome.
G-Day Geoff, You have got my taste buds alive from when I was a kid in England. I haven't had a Malt Loaf for over 50 years. They don't sell them in Australia so I will be making one tomorrow and thank you so much. Your a gentleman and easy to follow and I will be coming back for more of your recipes. Regards
Hi Iggie. That's great. I hope you enjoy the loaf and that it brings back memories. Remember that the malt loaf gets sticker the longer you store it.
Awesome buddy!
Hi Ricardo. thanks very much.
That looks delicious!
Hi Michelle, Thanks very much.
Looks really good and sticky... With '' BEST BUTTER'' spread on it,,, as my granny would say... Its a lovely thing to pick you up for after noon tea... 👍💕
HI Henrietta. I must admit I used Bertolli Olive Oil and Butter spread, which was delicious.
@@geoffsbakingblog no! no! no! only best butter... for me 😂😂😂
Ohhhh so lovely Geoff, I’ve enjoyed your original malt loaf recipe you posted for me approx 4 yrs ago and I’m loving this new & quick recipe.
Hope you are well Geoff, blessings to you & your family x
Hi Nadz. Thanks very much. I am glad that you enjoy this recipe. I hope you are well too.
Looks fantastic! I would love this in the morning. Not very common in California, but I'm going to make this.
Hi Harry. Thanks very much. I hope you enjoy it.

@@geoffsbakingblog glad to hear it Geoff we are plodding on thankfully take care all the best to you all once again 👍👍
Hello, Mr. Cooper!
it's a shame that I don't find malt extract very easily here in my state, otherwise I'd bake your recipe today. I really liked how moisty it looks. I keep imagining how would this loaf taste with marmalade and a good cup of tea or cofffee.
I'll keep on dreaming.
Thanks once more!
Hi Olga It is a shame that you cannot easily find malt extract. If you have a store that sells supplies for making beer you might find that they have some. If you are able to find diastatic malt powder you could use some of that to give a malt flavour whilst using some corn syrup or golden syrup to make up the volume. I also thought that pomegranate molasses might be very good too.
@@geoffsbakingblog Thank you, Mr. Cooper. I'll try to buy it online then. 😉
Looks delicious Geoff.. I was wondering f you were a professional cook once or has it always been a hobby? X
HI Cozicoops. Thanks very much. No I was never a professional cook. I just started as a hobby in 2014.
Hi Geoff could you make this malt loaf in a bread machine, great recipe ,thanks.
Hi Diane. This loaf isn't a yeasted dough so I don't think it needs a bread machine. Bread Machines have a proofing function that isn't required for this which a a 'quickbread'. That means you simply mix all the wet ingredients together, the dry ingredients together and then combine them before placing in a pan for baking.
Such an interesting recipe, Geoff. I’ve never used malt extract, so will look for some at the market. Just curious why you add the baking soda to the fruit mixture and not into the flour with the baking powder? I can’t wait to try it when our weather cools off. Still hot in California 🥵 I love all of your recipes and your great instructions. ❤️ Margie
Hi Margie. The baking powder is used to ensure the skins of the fruits are softened. It isn't used as a raising agent in this recipe, since the loaf is supposed to be dense. If you can't find malt extract you could use malt syrup, which is very similar but less intense in flavour.
Thank you for such detailed information, maybe I can find the extract on Amazon if our market doesn’t have it. That is so interesting about the baking soda, never heard of that before 👍😀 Good to know! I use dried apricots in some baked goods, would the baking soda work for that too?
@@QuiltingWithMeSew Yes it would soften the skins of dried apricots. I first heard of it when making Sticky Toffee Pudding, which has dried dates in it and the baking soda did a great job softening them, to the extent that the dates just about disappeared in the batter during baking.
@@geoffsbakingblog Thank you, Geoff. So interesting about the dates 😃 I can’t wait to experiment with it!

I have'nt had malt loaf for ages Goeff. Your recipe would go down a treat. Can you get malt extract everywhere? I've not heard of it tbh.
Hi Ray. You can buy it in Holland & Barrett, which is where I got mine. Probably available online too.
Thanks for the info Geoff. I will look out for it. Take care.
Is the malt extract the same as our malt used in our drinks called malt shakes? I don't care for the malts but just a plain milk shake, is why I'm asking.
HI Mary. I cannot be sure but I think malt shakes are made with malted milk powder. Malt extract is made from malted grain, most usually barley. I am assuming that malted milk powder is made by using some extracted malt. So you may not like this, though I don't find a strong malt flavour as the black treacle/molasses has quite a strong flavour too.
Yes the molasses is a strong flavor but I like it's taste. And yes the malted shake is with the powder.
Hi Geoff, I'd love to try this recipe but I'm confused about malt extract... What exactly is it and can you get it easily in the UK? 🍷🍷
HI Steve. Malt Extract is obtained from grains, mainly barley. It is a thick, syrupy mixture that is rather sweet, and malty. I have always found it in Holland & Barrett shops, but I am sure it is available online too.
Many thanks..🍷🍷
"And here's one I made earlier." Memories of Blue Peter for people of a certain age lol.
Hi Kathryn. Oh yes, and all without the inside of a toilet roll.
Can i avoid using the Baking soda?
HI Matt you can use more baking powder. I understand, from reading, that you would need 3 times the amount. So 2g of baking soda would be 6g of baking powder, in addition to that which is already in the recipe. However I have never tried it so I cant guarantee how successful it would be.
