For best results, pre-soak
your choice of dried fruit.
A cheap option for a midweek bake
is Cider, for special occasion cakes,
make with Champagne or Whisky.
Restrain your portioned pats of fat
in a suitable place and lightly beat,
until soft drop from your fingers
takes place. Do not overly labour
this stage or curdle may occur later.
The hard work is done,
now for some fun – Eggs or oil,
sticky syrup or sugar are good
additions, some spice to suit.
Next, gently enfold in the finest flour
and then spoon it around a few times.
All good fruit cakes are slow to bake,
but are sure to be well worth the wait.
