Hi Lindsey
The last few times I've made a date, apple and walnut loaf they have been very crumbly and unable to cut them cleanly. I bought an oven thermometer and have adjusted the temperature to suit but it still happens.
I wonder if the mixture is too dry or too wet? What should the consistency be?
Kindest regards

Hi Wendy,
I’ve have only made the apricot version recently, but I’ll make the cookery course one again soon to see how it is. My guess is that it probably needs all 4 tablespoons of milk – which is 80 ml’s using Delia’s old-fashioned kitchen tablespoons and that the eggs need to be large.
You’ve given me a good excuse to make a cake!
Thank you

Thank you, as ever, Lindsey. I shall measure the milk into a jug and if the eggs are small I will add extra milk. I hope you enjoy your cake as much as we do ours.
