This makes a 2lb loaf or 10 mini loafs and is a no fat light fruit cake/loaf - perfect to spread a little butter on and have with a cup of tea! You need to soak the fruit in the tea over night so it takes a little preparation in advance.Ingredients
12oz mixed dry fruit - the make up of which is entirely personal preference
4oz soft brown sugar
1/2 pt of hot freshly brewed strong tea
1 egg
8oz SR Flour
Put the fruit and the sugar in a large bowl. Pour over the hot tea and leave to seep for at least 24 hours.
Line a 2lb tin or if using put the mini loaf cases on a baking sheet.
Beat the egg and add to the fruit/tea mix and mix well to combine
Sift in the flour and mix the batter well until well blended. Pour into tin/cases.
Bake in a medium oven (180C) for 40 - 60 minutes until skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin then turn out and wrap in greaseproof paper
This cake improves with keeping and freezes brilliantly
