Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and butter a loaf tin.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the honey, milk and oil until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix just enough to bring the dough together.
  5. Fold in the crushed walnuts and raisins if you're using them.
  6. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
  7. Let it cool slightly before turning out and slicing.

Variations and tips

No-yeast version. Replace the baking powder with 1 tablespoon of yogurt for a denser, moister crumb.
