Ingredients :
- 500 grams mixed fruit
- 2 cup plain (all purpose) flour or any flour to suit your allergy
- 1 3/4 cup black tea (if making Christmas cake use 1½ cups plus ¼ cup brandy)
Method :
- Put fruit and tea (tea & brandy) in a bowl and let stand overnight
- Preheat oven to 125ºC gas 1½
- Line a greased loaf tin with baking parchment (I use a strip that I leave long on both ends to lift the cake out)
- Add the flour to the fruit mixture and stir in well (some fruit absorbs all the liquid and you may need a couple tablespoons of water to help mix, but it should not be a runny mixture)
- Bake for 2¼ hours in the centre of the oven. Allow to cool in the tin before removing
- If making Christmas cake you may want to double the quantities and bake for 2½ hours in an 8" square or round tin. When cold, wrap in foil and feed with brandy every week for 4 weeks before covering with marzipan and royal icing
