ODT Media Staff ‘Merren’s Golf Cake/Fruit Cake
1kg mixed dried fruit/or make up from sultanas/currants/glazed fruit
1½ cups orange juice (Charlies with the pulp)
½ cup sherry
2 cups self-raising flour plus 1 extra tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon or cinnamon and mixed spice
Method
Place fruit in a bowl and pour over orange juice and sherry.
Leave overnight.
Stir in flour and cinnamon. Put mixture into a baking paper lined 23cm cake tin. Bake at 180°C for one hour 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 160°C and bake a further 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Cool in tin for 15 minutes before turning out on to a wire cake rack. Dust with icing sugar while still hot. It’s not a deep cake and keeps well. Baking time and temperature does depend on individual ovens, and mine is relatively ‘hot’.
