For this Father’s Day I made my Dad his favourite Fruit Cake, as well as getting him the latest boogie woogie man Ben Waters CD.  It’s such a yummy cake, it would be rude not to share the recipe with you.

Ingredients:

• 110 grams stork butter
• 2 cups of sultanas (remove the stalks)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of flour
• Pinch of salt
• Teaspoon of spice
• Cherries

Method:

1. In a sauce pan add: 110 grams of stork, 2 cups of sultanas – remove any stalks and 1 cup of boiling water.
2. Put onto a medium heat and melt.
3. Stand and cool.
4. Mark out a circle of grease proof paper, cut out and butter. Butter the inside of a cake tin and add the grease proof paper.
5. In a mixing bowl add:

• Crack 2 eggs
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of flour
• A pinch of salt
• Teaspoon of spice
• Cut cherries into quarters, add to mix and stir.

Pour mix into cake tin.

Heat in oven at 165 gas mark for 1 hour.

At 55 minutes put knife in middle – if clean the cake is done!

Take cake tin out and stand to cool for 30 minutes.

Turn out and enjoy a slice of cake with a cup of tea!

Fruit Cake – yum!
