Instructions
- Preheat oven at 180° C for 15 minutes. Line base and sides of a deep 20 cm round cake pan with baking paper.
- Beat butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time and beat until well combined. Add vanilla essence, mix well.
- Add sifted plain flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt mixture along with milk and fold well.
- Finally, fold in mixed dried fruits, mixed spice, and lemon rind mixture. Spread the cake mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for around 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pan.
- NOTES - Brush top of hot cake with extra brandy, if desired.
- For mixed dried fruits, I used a combination of raisins, glace cherries, candied orange, and lemon peel. Chop all the fruits into small pieces and soak them in brandy until absorbed.
- To avoid sinking, dust the soaked fruits with some sifted flour mixture before using.
- Mixed spice is a combination of cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dry ginger. Grind all the spices to a fine powder.
- Sift together the plain flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Have all the ingredients at room temperature, especially butter and egg.
- We used large eggs with an average weight of 58 grams per egg.
- One cup = 250 ml, one tablespoon = 15 ml, one teaspoon = 5 ml.
