Boiled Fruit CakeLooking for an unusual but very pleasant cake then the boiled fruit cake might fit. Mix all the ingredients then bake. It’s chewy in texture, and goes down well with a cup of tea or coffee. Lovely with an afternoon cupper and doubles up as a dessert cake on its own, with cream or with hot custard.

Ingredients: 

Self Raising Flour 275g 10 oz
Sugar 225g 8 oz
Water 250ml 8 fl oz
Mixed Dried Fruit 275g 10 oz
Bicarbonate
of soda 		 1 tsp
Egg 1

Method: 

Place the sugar, water, fruit (I use a mixture of currants and sultanas) and bicarbonate of soda in a pan and boil for 3 minutes then leave to cool.

Pre heat the oven to 170°C,  (325°F, Gas Mark 3).

With the mixture cooled, add the flour and then the egg to the pan, mixing together well.  Pour the mixture into a 2 lb loaf tin and bake in the oven for 1 hour 10 minutes, until a scewer comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool and then store in an air tight container.
