Yay nut loaf!

Picture of a brown cakey looking loaf on a cooling rack with what remains of the other loaf next to it on a pink plate. Good thing the recipe makes 2 loaves! I averted disaster with it a couple of times.. after I'd mixed it (while being responsive to my prolifically chatty daughter and breaking up fights) I realised I had put bicarb instead of baking powder in it. A quick google revealed I could save the recipe by increasing the acidity with lemon juice or vinegar. Seeing as how I (once again) failed to buy buttermilk before I made it and had to add lemon juice to milk to substitute, I just added more. It worked!

Nut 👏 loaf 👏 city 👏 limits!!

Love it when a bit of ingenuity saves a dish. I've never had nut loaf before, do you eat it with anything? It looks so hearty and comforting!

It's a sweet walnut loaf so my fat arse loves it straight from the oven with butter 😋I like the recipe because it doesn't have a truckload of oil in it, unlike other recipes I've seen. I used to make a savoury cashew nut and carrot loaf which you would eat with wilted (lightly stir fried) greens and roast vegetables, which I cooked at the same time as the loaf. Some people like their savoury nut loaves with a sauce, like cranberry sauce, or a chunky chutney or relish. Anything kinda fruity goes well.
