  • This is amazing. I made a few changes too by adding baking soda and also put in a whole variety of dried fruit. Very nice and light and great warm with some ice cream.

  • I made changes as suggested by Bryce (extra spices and golden syrup), used mixed fruit rather than sultanas and the cake was judged to be a huge success! So I decided that I needed to make another, but in my haste, I forgot the eggs... Doh!!! - but SWMBO said the cake is better for it - so no eggs in the future...

  • I made this cake but had to adjust the fruit contents as we did not have enough sultanas or any pineapple in the house. I made up the quantity with a mixture of sultanas,currants, and chop up dates and it turned out to be a delicious cake. Eaten with a slice of tasty or mild cheese on the top, it is really great. I understand this is a Yorkshire way to eat fruit cake regards Peter A.

  • Yum! I did change it a bit though. I added 1 teaspoon of mixed spice, 1/2 t of nutmeg, 1/2 t cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda after the fruit had boiled. Oh and 2 Tablespoons of golden syrup instead of one. It only lasted one day!! The family is scoffing the last with a coffee after dinner.
