This cake is a good mix of ‘easy’ + ‘Xmas-spice-fruity combo’.
And with molasses and not too much sugar I call it health food. Actually I’ve been known to call it breakfast!
It’s not a long lasting cake but never needs to be!
Ingredients
675 g mixed fruit
450 ml water
150 ml oil (rice bran)
350 g wholemeal self-raising flour
1 Tbl molasses
1 lemon, zested
2 tsp ground mixed spice
75 g raw brown sugar
3 Tbl sherry or rum
Method

- Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then spoon the sherry over the top and leave in the tin until completely cold.
