Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line a 900 g (2 lb) loaf tin.
- 2
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg and coconut. Stir in the raisins and cherries.
- 3
Beat the egg with the coconut milk, melted dairy free spread and vanilla. Pour into the dry mix and stir only until no dry flour is left. The batter will be thick.
- 4
Spoon into the tin and level. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until deep golden and a skewer comes out clean.
47 min - 5
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Slice when just warm or cold.
