- Add the mixed spice and fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Chop the hazelnuts and add them to the batter with the chocolate chips and the cranberries.
- Add the sifted flour and fold this into the mixture, the mix will be very thick.
- Roll the dough into two 9-inch logs and place onto a parchment covered baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees in a reasonably clean oven.
- Transfer the loaves to a cutting board, and slice them on the diagonal about 1cm thick.
