Yields10 Servings

 450 g Mixed Dried Fruit
 285 ml Cold Tea
 225 g Self Raising Flour
 1 Medium Egg - Beaten
1

Preheat the oven to gas mark 4 / 180ºC / 350ºF.

2

Place the fruit in a bowl and pour over the cold tea, leave to soak overnight or for a few hours. The tea should just cover the fruit.

3

Drain the fruit and reserve a cupful of the liquid.

4

Add the flour to the fruit and pour in the beaten egg.

5

Stir well with a wooden spoon.

6

If it looks too dry, add a little of the tea that was reserved.

7

Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper or use a non-stick cake tin and pour the mixture into the tin.

8

Cook for 1-1¼ hours on the middle shelf. This produces a cake with a moist, doughy texture a little like malt loaf.
