CLASS 85- Shamrock Boiled Fruit Cake |
|
Ingredients: Preparation:
Preheat oven 170°C / 325°F / Gas mark 3. Method: Mix the sultanas, mixed peel (chop finely), sugar and margarine into a saucepan with the water, mixed spice and ground cloves. Stir and bring to the boil over a medium heat. When the sugar is dissolved and the margarine is melted, allow the saucepan to boil up gently for five minutes. Set aside and allow to cool until the mixture is just warm. At this stage stir in the flour. (There is no need to turn the mixture into a bowl as the saucepan in which the fruit has been cooked can be used and save cleaning up). When this is well mixed, stir in the vinegar and lastly the bread soda dissolved in a dessert spoon of warm water. Stir well but gently, to mix all the ingredients together. Turn into a lined 9" tin. To cook: Bake for 1½ - 1¾ hours or until a clean metal skewer or knitting needle when inserted into the centre comes out dry and clean. Leave the cake in the tin for at least five minutes to settle and then turn out. To serve: Store for a week or so if possible before cutting. The advantage of this cake over other cakes is it saves on baking time because the fruit is partially cooked in the saucepan before you mix in the flour. Additonal Info: You can make this recipe to a larger quantity, half as much again using a 10” to 11” tin. If so allow a further 25 minutes baking time and test before you take it from the oven by testing in the usual way. When making the larger size be sure to measure the water allowance accurately.
