Think I will give this a try. Do you make it Elisi? I take it this is an American recipe, because they measure ingredients in cups.

[Gemini]

It sounds delicious, I will try it!
It will be American, as you say Nan2, cups are an American measurement. An American lady I stayed with few times in Illinois made raspberry bread, which was yummy,

[Daisy]

It sounds very tasty. I'm wondering it the recipe means self-raising or plain flour with there being bicarb/baking soda in it?

[Elisi]

Plain flour ladies, and yes it is from the States, although an Australian friend gave it to me!

Aren't Aussie cups and U.S. Cups slightly different?

Yes Zizi, but Jenny passed this onto me, via Brisbane, from her friend in Virginia
