Introduction

Mary Berry recipe with alterations:
-added spices
-substituted walnuts with half and half walnuts/sunflower seeds
-approx 80ml-90ml sunflower oil instead of 150ml
-less sugar than called for
-wholemeal flour instead of plain
-added raisins
-no frosting, instead small amount of icing drizzled over the top (made with icing sugar and orange juice)


I realise the calorie rating is quite high, but the serving size is pretty big and the fat content is not at all bad.
