Since coming up with the idea of 31 Days of Cake I have been worried about today. Not because the bake is difficult, if you glance over the recipe it is frighteningly simple. The thing is today is fruit cake day and my husbands grandma is a CWA, award winning fruit cake master. I have given my darling husband clear instructions that in no way to compare my fruit cake with grandma's cake. Its not her recipe, I have found an egg free, nut free delight that both my dear cherubs will be able to eat.
Hint: Maybe I'm just an idiot but up until a few weeks ago if I was lining a spring form tin I would trace around the outside, carefully cut it out, put in the bottom. Then one day asked my darling husband to line the tin I look over he has just shoved the paper on closed the tin and was cutting around it. I thought he was a genius.
Egg Free, Nut Free, Dairy Free Fruit Cake
800gr mixed
dried fruit
2 cups
orange juice
2 cups SR
flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tbs golden
syrup
The next day add the remaining ingredients . Mix well.
Put in tin and bake for 1 to 2 hours at 140c-
150c. Test with a skewer.
I don't think that I will be winning any awards from the CWA but the kids and I liked it (dare not ask husband). In fact the kids went a bit crazy for it which is good because as treats go its pretty low on bad stuff, not very expensive to make especially if you consider how many serves you will get out of this one. I think it will be a great lunch box filler. The only down size is even though its an easy cake its a time hungry cake need to plan ahead when it going to be made.
