Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams dried mixed fruit

Pantry Staples

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (use 1 cup for the tradional sweeter version)
  • 2 teabags of your favourite black tea (I prefer Earl Grey)
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 2 tspn cinnamon
  • 2 tspn cardamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C (fan forced)
  • Place both teabags in 1 cup (250ml) of boiling water
  • Allow 3 - 5 minutes jiggling and steeping the teabags - then remove teabags
  • Place mixed fruit in a mixing bowl
  • Pour tea over mixed fruit and sugar and allow to cool
  • Add beaten egg and flour and mix together with a wooden spoon.
  • Add spices and mix together with wooden spoon
  • Grease a ring tin LIBERALLY with BUTTER especially into the corners… you know what I mean :) Ring tins are the perfect cake tin for this and doesn’t stick if you use butter!
  • Pour mixture carefully into ring tin
  • Bake for 30 - 35mins (or until cake skewer comes out clean)

Serving Ideas

  • Eat immediately! It is so nice served warm. Spread the slices with real butter and SAVOUR !!
