RICH FRUIT CAKE
Here’s what you need:
250g (8oz) sultanas
250g (8oz) chopped raisins 250g (8oz) currants
125g (4oz) chopped mixed peel
90g (3oz) chopped red glace cherries 90g (3oz) chopped blanched almonds 1/3 cup sherry or brandy
250g (8oz) plain flour
60g (2oz) self raising flour 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 250g (8oz) butter
250g (8oz) soft brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon essence or finely grated lemon rind 1/2 teaspoon almond essence
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 4 large eggs
Here’s what you do:
Mix together the fruits and nuts and sprinkle with the sherry or brandy. Cover and leave for at least one (1) hour, but preferably overnight. Sift together the flours and spices. Cream together the butter and sugar with the essences. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then alternately add the fruit and flour mixtures. Mix thoroughly. The mixture should be stiff enough to support a wooden spoon. Place the mixture into a prepared SQUARE 20CM X 20CM (8” by 8”)TIN and bake in a slow oven for approximately 3.5-4 hours. Allow the cake to cool in the tin.
NOTE: To ensure uniformity and depending upon the size it is suggested the raisins be snipped into 2 or 3 pieces, cherries into 4 to 6 pieces and almonds crosswise into 3 or 4 pieces. The height of the cake shouldn’t exceed 5.7cm (57mm). Winner progresses to the Group 5 level judging, date TBA.
