'Boozy" Fruit Cake

'Boozy'  Fruit Cake

Excellent if you are short of time, this cake is quick to make and needs no maturing, says Mary.

I say: Chopping the dates takes a little time, the rest is just chucking it all in the pan really.


What do we need:

100 gr dried stoned dates
150 gr softened butter
175 gr golden syrup
175 ml milk
150 gr sultanas
150 gr raisins

50 gr currants
50 gr chopped candied peel (don't forget to have some ready made in your pantry)
100 gr chopped walnuts

 
225 gr plain flour
2 level teaspoons ground mixed spice
1/2 level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 large eggs

4 tablespoons brandy, rum or sherry to feed the cake, not you.

To give as a gift, wrap in cellophane with a generous bow on top.
