Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the cereal, sugar, dried fruit and milk in a large bowl, give it a stir, then set aside until the milk has absorbed, at least 1 hr.

Generously butter a non-stick 450g loaf tin or line with baking parchment. Tip the flour and baking powder into the cereal mixture and fold together until well combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, then bake for 1 hr.

Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and leave to cool a little before cutting into slices to serve.
