Making the loaf

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C fan / 180°C conventional. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin.
  2. Put all the ingredients into a bowl and beat briefly until smooth and combined.
  3. Spoon into the tin and bake for 45–55 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  4. Leave in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift onto a rack to cool.
