A rich, fruit packed, brandy soaked cake. Moist and full of flavour! Great for Christmas or for a wedding cake
I did a little bit of mixing here and a bit of adding there and was reminded of science class when the bicarb of soda was added causing much foaming and after not even an hour, I had my spiced fruit cake baked. In fact I made two just in case-one to try and one to bring for Christmas dinner. And you know what? It was good when it was first baked, it was good 3 days later and it was still really good 3 weeks later.
