Years ago when I was a young mum and was always baking for cake stalls, school fairs etc. I had a great wee recipe that was measured and calculated just right for seven of those tinfoil loaf tins. Can't find the recipe. Does anyone have this one, please.

Hi arden22, do you remember where the recipe came from!Was itfrom (for example),a Plunket or similar organisation recipe book!Did a friend or family member pass it on to you, or was it originally in anotherrecipe book or magazine!
If you can remember where you first sourced the recipe from,then maybe you can backtrack and find it, or the person who gave it to you. I hope this makes sense. Good luck!
Thank you, lurtz but, no, I can't remember where it came from. However, I do remember that it was not passed on by a friend or family member. I'm now going to have a look at kidspot as recommended by lindy.

Do you think your Mum just found a nice fruit loaf & multiplied it by 7!Can you remember was the fruit soaked in anything like tea!Was it spicy!or plain!Maybe you watched her make them!I am intrigued now!

No, no, certainly not from my mother! I'm wondering if it could have been from any of those little books sometimes produced by school and organisations as fundraisers. I've had quite a few house moves and I'm a great one for "tidying up" so I think it must have been thrown out! Ah well, thanks for your help. I'll try to work something out - it was so useful! Thanks again.

Not sure what size your loaf tins are, if you google mini loaf tins you may find something like you are looking for. http://clairekcreations.com/2012/09/madiera-loaf-cakes-with-lemon-icing/ I'd just make the recipe you want divide it between the little tins, bake around 170c and start checking for being done around 20 mins.
Hi Linda. Thank you for taking the time to search. I have done Google searches to no avail. It wasn't in Rangiora or Christchurch - we were living in Auckland at the time.

Hi Fifie. They were not mini loaf tins. They were just tins that were smaller than the standard size. You can buy them in the supermarket - 3 in a pack. I'm going to try doubling the quantity for a normal size and dividing it into 3 to see how that works out.

Interesting. I thought a knob of butter was actually a lot smaller than an egg. wonder what size egg they mean, more of a teaspoon size.No wonder many old recipes that people try don't turn out, as so many of their ingredients measurements are confusing.still love the old ones though.

Hi again Lindy. I'll try that recipe but not until sometime after Easter. I'll let you know how it works out. I've also dug out an old favourite Allbran fruit loaf which I made last week and will try to do that in bulk. Thank you for your ongoing interest.
