Maltloaf | Like Soreen | Fruity Bread/Cake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- If you've never tried maltloaf, you really should. Maltloaf is a dense, fruity loaf of something that isn't quite bread (but there's no bubbles in it) and isn't quite cake (no crumb to speak of, not crumbly). Maltloaf is fantastic generously spread with butter and washed down with a cup of tea. The dominant commercial brand in the UK is Soreen.
The written recipe for maltloaf is here: keefcooks.com/maltloaf-fruity-...

This is literally one of the best UA-cam vids I've watched. I came here for Soreen, I've stayed for these two stars!
People who get that happy over food are great people.
Made 2 days ago, tried one slice, very nice. Left for 2 days its FABULOUS! My Kiwi husband was really impressed. I'm over the moon, the sticky moist texture is as I remembered as a child, many moons ago! So so comforting with a cuppa! Thank you will definitely make again soon.
I’d never heard of maltloaf before. I enjoy all the new food I learn about through this channel!
It is one of the most yummiest loaf ever, tastes better the next day or after. The popular brand Soreen is really nice but I prefer baking my own cos I like baking, lol.
Oh, Keef!
I am so much fatter than I was before lockdown started and NOW you've not only put maltloaf in my brain, but you've given me the means to make it.
If they have to lift by body out of the house with a crane, I'm leaving a note blaming you!
I think Mrs. KC liked that.
Just as an aside, I live near Castleford and when the maltings are in full flow, the gorgeous aroma can be smelled for miles around.
Another great video.
Yep, we can all blame Mr Keef when we no longer fit into our clothes, hahahah.
Looks unbelievably good keef!
Nice one Brenda 👍
Also thanks Keef for making the video and the malt loaf.
Tried this today Keef! Turned out absolutely lovely!
Love this brings back childhood memories! 🌹🙏
How did I miss this? Fantastic!
Malt extract is available from any home brew shop. Maybe Boots still stock it. Some chemists may have it. Another place to look is either in the ice cream topping section or the baby section in the local supermarket.
Lovely video and couple . looking for a nice malt loaf recipe so going to try this .
My new go-to fruitcake. Lovely.
What an enjoyable video! It has made my day, what a delightful couple. Oh, and I will try this recipe as Soreen is my favourite bread. Thank you 😊
Love your live chats !!!❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🙏❤️🥮🎊👩🏻🍳
Well done Keef, made this last night and was absolutelly delicious.
Glad you enjoyed it
The inside the Factory series visited the Soreen factory, a couple of years ago. One thing that came out, was that the cooking process hadn't finished when they left the factory and it took a couple more days before they were edible.
Interesting!
Love Malt loaf haven’t had it for a long time but remember it very dense and so tasty with real butter...
She is so sweet and adorable! What a lucky man ❤️
Great video love mrs keef cooks very sweet
I’ll be making this during the weekend! Looks Devine!🙏❤️🥮🎊👩🏻🍳
Have fun!
Hi keef and Mrs keef cooks hope you are well that looks great hopefully will be getting flour today and giving this a good thanks for your hard work
that looks wonderful - far better than the commercial one - I used to buy one made in London that was not so heavily cooked ( burnt ) as Soreen but for the last 10 years I can only buy Soreen - maybe because it is Local to me in Manchester
You guys are just angels, what a lovely UA-cam channel💞
Aww, thanks Serena!
Fantastic video, You to are brilliant!
Mrs keef certainly likes the loaf
Omg cod liver oil and malt...yes indeed I was a force fed victim in the 1950's, every morning before school, a huge rounded tablespoonful...I swear I can still taste that awful stuff, that and parishers food..liquid iron tonic, Thank Keef for the horror trip down memory lane..but I loved your malt cake video
I also remember a spoonful every morning before school in the late fifties and early sixties and I absolutely love the stuff even having a spoonful every morning now in winter and I am now 67.So,yes I love it.
Im a 2001 kid but my parents gave me lots of cod liver oil as a baby too haha!!
Your malt loaf looks delicious so it is on my ‘must make’ list. Malt extract without cod liver oil is available at Holland & Barret as well as a number of supermarkets for vegetarians, vegans and for those who have fish intolerance.
Thanks for this recipe - I made it yesterday but had to use syrup instead of treacle. It's so easy to make and a million times nicer than Soreen. And every slice is double the size of a Soreen one, so it's a winner. I winced at the price of the malt extract but it's worth it. Going to make it again at the weekend!
Keefs fruity malt cake defo going try this soon as we can all the ingredients 🌈
oil your spoon before dipping in the treacle and syrop, they will just slide of the spoon
no matter what , no One will ever come close to the baking the the Soreen Malt Loaf
Great tip thank you!
This maltloaf must be good, it certainly looks delicious, and is now on my to-do list Thank you, for the recipe Keef, :-)
My pleasure 😊
I was a baker for 12 years, and we made malt bread like Soreen which was a proper malted dough with yeast and fruit in it.
The recipe has similar ingredients to the Christmas cake I make, except the cake is made with brown sugar and stout rather than molasses and malt extract. The cake takes 90-100 minutes in the oven, which is probably why the malt loaf required more time than you initially expected. Like your malt loaf, it never comes out as dark as I would expect. Anyway, I have ingredients left over from Christmas so I think I will see if I can get some malt extract to use. If it ends up tasting not entirely different I might try it with stout instead, since that is much easier to obtain.
I've not had malt loaf for 30 years, but I still remember what it tastes like.
Edit: I guess malt extract is used to make all sorts of things, in the US at least. I found it on Amazon, without cod liver oil. It's not cheap, but neither is Guiness.
Yay! I fell in love with this when I was in England. Now I can try to bake it at home! I might try it with just raisins, to possibly eliminate the necessity of the added spoon in the mixer. I assume that was to help break up the fruit pieces so they wouldn't all stick together as they go around the mixing bowl? You do come up with some unique processes! In all seriousness though, I DID think you used a technique I haven't seen before with cutting the parchment and crumpling it the way you did. Of course that may be a commonly known standard technique just like the spoon in the mixer trick and recipes that call for a baking time of 40 minutes plus 10-20 minutes plus 20 minutes, and that old chestnut of a prank offering one's spouse a taste of meatloaf that's been spread with generous slabs of butter, but it's the first time I've seen that clever parchment pattern). Anyway, Doreen would be proud.
My local chemist sells extract of malt. They have it with or without cod liver oil. I personally prefer without cod liver oil. My mother used to give us a dessert spoonful of malt before going to school in the winter. I loved it and buy a jar a couple of times a year.
Great . Love you very much
Oh, I’ve got to try that recipe Keef. 😀
You should!
this looks good how much water do you need as looks like big mug dont want too much water
I’ve never had malt loaf before - Soreen or otherwise - but I had some malt extract that needed using (how did we end up with two tins of something we only use every couple of years?) but gave it a go today and WHOA. So delicious. I have no idea how we’re supposed to leave it to mature - delayed gratification is a bit of an issue when the instant gratification is so good! Anyway: thanks for this recipe, it’s fab.
I really enjoyed your video :) I moved to Finland in January and I really miss the good old British foods, like maltloaf. The recipe looks great! Will definitely be making it :) Also, another reason why I enjoyed your video so much was the end part (2 days later) when you're chatting, eating the maltloaf and having a cuppa. Reminds me of being at home
Here we go: ua-cam.com/video/2dHUCs_BexQ/v-deo.html
This looks like a barmbrack with malt extract added. Sounds great.
I've never heard of this but it looks fantastic. If I can find malt I'll give it a go.
It is delicious, I bake it all the time - a British and Irish tea time fave. You should be able to get Malt from a health shop or supermarket, depending on where you live.
Potters Malt extract without CLO added is available on Amazon
My mother used to make this & like Keef I recall it being very black. Not sure I can get malt extract where I live, I'll ask at my baking suppliers when I try and buy some flour next week. Seems from the recipe it is similar Tea Loaf which I was going to have a crack at when I've finished the last of the huge bread puddings I made myself .
Going by Mrs Keef Cooks reaction , I daresay Keef will be making this one again ... and again ;-)
Thank you…❤
Bet you it is much better than shop bought.
Mine usually is not as wet when I make it and I use prunes and dates. I'm sure from the happy dances and glee it's a winner and the glazing with syrup while it's warm is the key to the sticky moist. I wonder if you could soak the fruit in a malt beer I might try that as well as a bit off malt powder 👍💕
You never put the prunes and dates in the recipe!
@@Keefcooks lmao I beg to differ because they bring lots of rich dark flavour and moisture plus as a bonus they bring lots of fun to the after party and you don't put candied peel in a malt loaf either so nehhhh!
Oh next try Mandel Bread ❤❤❤
That looks amazing and right up my alley. I'll look for malt extract at my health food store so I can make it. The Anti Raisin League at my house will be out of luck!
I am going to have to give this a go! Thanks for the shout out!
I also had some trouble finding a loaf pan too! But I got up early in the morning and managed to get one earlier this week. I hope you both are safe and sound. :D Have a great day!
Can I use dried Malt extract instead of the liquid form and if so, how much do I add etc.
I'msorry I've never used dried malt extract so I can't answer your question.
Initially, I thought the title said "meatloaf", and I thought "Keef is doing another meatloaf vid. I hope he sticks it to the haters and crazy critics" That said, I still hope he sticks it to the haters and crazy critics with this vid too.
Editing to add. I wonder if this is similar to the Jamaican spice bun I buy in my local international grocery store? It's very dense, studded with raisins, and has allspice and cinnamon in it.
No one replied? Still wondering 5 months later? Nothing like Jamaican ginger cake. Malt loaf tastes like sweetened stewed black tea. You do need butter on it.
Wondering why you chopped the top off, and why you didn't get the butter out of the fridge earlier!
I didn't chop the top off, I turned it upside down. We don't normally keep butter in the fridge - must have been a cold day.
The malt loaf looks lovely!!!
My mum used to make it donkeys years ago and I’m sure it had ‘all bran’ in it.?
Re the colour, I’m sure you could darken it with gravy browning. I bet the manufacturers do that as well.
Anyway,, looks lovely xx
Thank you. I don't know if I'd want it any darker - I have bought some actual Soreen recently and it is pretty much black.
Why would you ruin it with gravy browning?
@@barlow2976 it wouldn’t ruin it. You also use it as a colouring in Xmas/ wedding cake. Gravy browning is tasteless.
@@jackieblakemore56 Well, it is slightly salty, so adjust the salt according to how much you use. But yes, I use it in Jamaican bun for the colour and that is also sweet!
@@jackieblakemore56 Yes, my mother a professional baker, gravy browning was used in christmas and wedding cakes also christmas puddings, no taste just gave it that richer darker colour. can be used in anything you want but as you say adjust any salt needed. Just make surer it's the proper stuff and not oooh oo Bisto.
First time I've seen someone cut a cake with a knife and fork 🤣🤣🤣🤣, then the rock hard butter 🤣🤣
Malt Loaf is my favourite - whatever, as you say with a spread of butter. I only buy it occasionally cos I have firm resistance. Malt Extract is available as treacly stuff called Liquid Malt Extract as opposed to `Dried malt Extract DME dose not matter you are not brewing with it.
For some reason I had a can of the Dark Treacle, I may still have it but it will be 20 years out of date so I need to find some (surely that is still on a shelf)(unless there is a sudden demand because of this video :_). Then this will definitely be attempted. A kilo of LME should be enough for three or four loafs and as they normally come a bit bigger than that ????
My Sister used to make Christmas cakes which involved soaking fruit things for months. Maybe a time investment is needed here??
I wouldn't do the long-soak-in-booze thing for this.
Would like recipe in ounces especially for USA
All weights and measures are given in metric and the other stuff both in the video and on my website.
Apart from the Malt extract this recipe is virtually identical to a recipe for Irish tea brack
Mr Keef Cooks thinking about putting an icing on it ! What do you think?
Bella Brooks no it just needs a syrup on it in my opinion if you are USA use corn syrup brushed on top and sides while warm, honestly I just wrap mine in parchment then in a zip loc bag and let it sit a day or two it is just wonderful and moist.
I think icing would be weird!
What are ya Keef ....how does the one indoors put up with ya ....spoon in the batter Mrs Keef cooks ....lol...
A bit clumsy
I have to make the remark, I just have to: At our age, the outside of the loaf is wrinkly no matter what you do.
Thanks, Keef.
I really want this Malt loaf recipe,you need to give people a chance to write this recipe down and maybe give it in ounces
@Avis Smith I do better than that - most of my recipes have a written version on my website, it's linked to in on-screen info cards, the end screen and in the description so I don't know how you missed it. The website shows measures in metric and also imperial (pounds, ounces, cups, Fahrenheit, rubbish like that). Here it is, and good luck: www.keefcooks.com/maltloaf-fruity-cake-bread-recipe-like-soreen 😀
Your recipe states 125 ml of tea but in the video you make a large mug (250ml) and pour it all in. Is that why your batter was runny, and took much longer to bake than you anticipated ?
Soreen does get exported to the US, frozen.
ContinentalShop Hi can you tell me where I can buy it in the US, please
@@noreensalvaggio7883 where are you
ContinentalShop I’m in Indiana.
@@noreensalvaggio7883 try doing it search for Soreen malt loaf there are a few companies that import it
Hi keelcooks and Mrs can l just say your both making me hungry with maltloaf got no mixed fruit in so l can not make it until next week sulking because I make it not happy bunny
Your golden syrup is making me laugh... in the US we get dish washing soap in bottles that shape and some brands are exactly that color!
But Golden syrup tastes so so so much better.
Use corn syrup to brush on while it's warm if you give it a try.
I would love to make and try this, but I am allergic to fish. I googled malt without cod liver oil and couldn't find any, so I guess I will have to pass.
Hi malt extract vegetarian/vegan will not have cod liver oil in. Lots of supermarkets and Health stores in UK. and Amazon sells this product.
Make more l am today 👍🏼❤️
My Mother used to make a similar thing and she'd use All-Bran in it. But without malt... So not a malt loaf... 🤣
The one I make is darker and denser.
That should be, "WHERE'S THE SOREEN DOREEN!"
Looks extra scrummy, Keef! 😋
I'm not too sure if malt extract is available in Australia, but I guess Google will be my friend as usual. 😉
Edit: Google found it in about 1 second at Australia's leading supermarket! And it *DOESN'T* contain Cod Liver Oil. $AU10 .00 for a 1 kg tin (about £5.16), so it's not all that expensive, either! 😀
I think you're right...
@3:21 Canny hard to get ? .. Durham / Slang
I think he says "it's kinda hard to get" .
Why aye, bonny lad.
Sounds a bit digestive ...to say the least ...my guess is its best eaten room temperature with cold butter and in your own home lol
I don't know what you mean by digestive. But yes, eaten cold with butter, anywhere you like.
Tea?? Tea?????? Who the heck would steep their fruit in tea when you can steep it in booze???
Otherwise great vid, luv you both. :-))
I agree but there is something about the flavour of the tea that makes the fruit taste yum from the tannin in it I was wondering about stout ale or a malted beer it might work too 🙋
Dip your spoon in boiling water for a while and the black treacle and the malt will fall off it easily
Is it squidgie?
It is squidgy. 😀
I thought you would be frying chicken with those 11 herbs and spices ( only jokeing )

I’ll wager you will remember Harvo malt loaf, before soreen. I liked it better.
Sorry, never heard of Harvo, you owe me one meelion pounds.
12:39 rotfl!
3:17 -- cod liver oil ? ... in a fruit cake?
It's not bad enough that fruit cake is as dense as concrete (and lasts longer); but to make it taste like rancid fish ... Do you intend to bomb an enemy nation with this cake?
It's not battle cake @Kevin Byrne - not really dense and tastes delicious. And the secret Cod Liver Oil! Nom nom.
@@Keefcooks -- LOL I watched a couple of other videos where they made Maltloaf, and the commenters' consensus was that Maltloaf was indeed tasty. I'd be willing to try it, but malt extract is almost unobtainable. It's available only on-line -- and even then, you must buy it in industrial quantities. :(
Lolllll
... I can't believe that you made it with malt extract with cod liver oil ... it must have tasted foul ... malt extract is available at any home brew shop ....
Oh sure, it was really foul. So nasty in fact that I threw it in the bin and never made this video. Believe it.
Avoid soreen at all costs. Make your own. Soreen had high fructose corn syrup. And that’s a no no
You cannot eat malt loaf without cheese, sacrilege……
It’s a Yorkshire thing…
And yet, here I am, in Yorkshire. I have eaten malt loaf without cheese and suffered no ill effects.
