Similar to mandabears' Thisbe Fruit Loaf, this cake looks like it would be a welcome addition to a Sunday brunch. I have not tried this one yet but plan to soon. Submitted for the UK leg of the Zaar World Tour. Ingredients:
1 lb mixed dried fruit |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup hot black tea (english breakfast or earl grey would be best suited to this recipe) |
1 large egg |
2 cups self-rising flour |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 dash ground cloves |
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or 2 tablespoons citris marmalade |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Put the dried fruit and the sugar into a mixing bowl, add the hot tea and leave to soak overnight.
2. The next day, preheat oven to 300 degrees.
3. Spray and line a 7 inch cake pan or a loaf pan.
4. Stir the egg, flour, spices and the marmalade into the fruit, sugar and tea mixture. Pour into the cake pan or the loaf pan.
5. Bake for 1 1/2 -2 hours until firm to the touch or until a skewer pushed into the cake comes out clean. Do not open the oven during the first hour of baking time.
