Following last week's sucess with the ginger cake here's another one.Not the cheapest when I think about it but it does cut in to 8-10 pieces depending on......!!

MIX TOGETHER:
9oz SR flour
6oz soft marg.
3oz soft dk brwn sugar(you don't need more 'cos of all the fruit)
3 large eggs
1bag(500g)mixed luxury fruit.(Sains.or Tesco)
small handful of pecans or almonds
1 dsrtsp glace ginger
A few dried cranberries,blueberries,dried cherries(dozen or so)
1 tblspn good marmalade(any fruit!!)
1 tsp mixed spice
2 tbspn cooking brandy(optional)I like to leave the fruit absorbing this while I get the rest of the ingredients out.
Up to 2 tbspn milk(depending on mixture texture)

Give this a good stir until well blended.
Put into 8'',20cm cake tine.Lined as before with liner or baking paper.
It takes about an hour and 45 mins or so.I bake at 150C.
Keep and eye on it but do not open oven door before at least an hour and a half.A thin skewer inserted in to the centre should come out clean to indicate that it is cooked through.Give it another 5-10 mins if not!!!

HOPE YOU CAN MANAGE IMPERIAL MEASUREMENTS STILL!!
