12oz plain flour 1tbsp mixed spice
4oz ground almonds
8oz currants (although I changed this to chopped dates)
8oz sultanas
8oz raisins
4oz cherries
8oz butter
8oz butter
8oz soft brown sugar
6 eggs beaten with 8tbsp milk
1 tbsp black treacle
Mix flour, spice and ground almonds together. Mix fruit ( I let mine soak in a good splash of brandy for about an hour).
Beat butter and sugar to a cream, beat milk and eggs together. Mix together all ingredients. Add the fruit last.
Bake for four hours. First hour 180C (Gas 4), then slowly 150C(Gas2).
