This is a classic Irish tea-time fruit cake, intended to be served thickly-sliced with butter.
Ingredients:
425ml cold black tea
220g light brown sugar
180g sultanas
60g chopped
candied peel
160g self-raising flour
1 egg, beaten
Method:
Place the raisins, sugar and peel in a large bowl. Add the tea, mix to dissolve the sugar then cover and leave to soak over night.
The following day, sift the flour into the fruit mixture and stir to combine then add the egg and beat well. Pour into a 20cm diameter cake tin that's been greased and floured then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for about 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely. Like many rich fruit cakes this is best the day after it's made.
