I share possible variations with different fruits and flavourings to suit various tastes – it's a really versatile cake that can be enjoyed all year round. It's great drizzled with honey and served with cultured cream to add extra sweetness and sourness to the caramelised flavour of this very moist and light loaf cake. The chopped nuts on top add a glorious crunch. It's amazing that something so easy to make can offer so many textures and flavours.
