A lovely easy spiced fruit loaf which I got from a local cookbook. It is a very forgiving cake since I often just add things I have in the cupboard and it turns out fantastic. Ingredients:
1 cup milk |
1 cup brown sugar or 1 cup white sugar |
1 cup dried fruit |
100 g butter |
1 egg |
2 cups cake flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
75 g chopped glace cherries |
75 g chopped nuts (optional) |
2 teaspoons ginger powder |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 pinch clove |
Directions:
1. Put in large pan milk, sugar, fruit and butter. Melt all on stove top so that sugar dissolves. Cool.
2. Add egg to mix.
3. Add all other ingredients and mix.
4. Bake in a greased fruit loaf tin and bake for 1-1 1/4 hrs in moderate hot oven or until skewer comes out clean. I put it at 160 degrees.
5. Cool and enjoy. Great with butter.
