Ingredients
1 tbsp honey1 cup skimmed milk1 portion yeast (1 standard packet or teaspoon dried, 7g fresh, etc.) 1 cup wholewheat bread flour1/2 cup white flour1/4 cup + 1 tbsp poppy seeds1/2 cup + 1 tbsp sunflower seeds 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp flaked almonds1 cup raisins (or other small dried fruits)
Boil some water. In a small bowl, mix the raisins with the boiling water and leave them to soak for at least 30 minutes.
Whilst these are soaking, warm the milk (to that it's luke warm, not hot) and add the yeast and honey, disolving as best you can. Leave these somewhere warm for a few minutes at least, until the yeast is blooming and the milk is frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the flours together. If you wish, you can use all brown flour, but I find the cakes done rise as easily. Add the milk mixture, a little at a time, and mix to a thick better dough. Depending on the density of the flour you use, you may need a bit more liquid or a little less; it doesn't matter terribly as long as it looks more like cake batter than bread dough. Then, drain and mix in the fruit, and add all but 1 tbsp of each of the seeds and nuts.
Leave the mixture to sit for an hour or two, until doubled in size, covered and somewhere warm.
Mix it gently, heat the oven to 220C, and pour into little cake moulds, or into a larger shallow mould if you prefer. Sprinkle the remaining seeds and nuts over the top; they should sit well enough.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until a knife in the centre comes out clean.
